An easy way to fancy-up those store bought frozen meatballs. Perfect for those busy weeknights when you just want to get dinner on the table. One pot and no-fuss pasta!
Heat the oil in a pan and saute the garlic until fragrant. Careful not to burn!
Skip to this step if your meatballs are already defrosted. Heat up the meatballs in the pan until warm, then remove and keep in a separate bowl until later.
Add in the beef base and water. Once the water is boiling and beef base has dissolved, add in the pasta. Cook pasta for 5 minutes on medium heat. Stir often, as the liquid doesn't completely cover the pasta and you want everything to cook evenly. Stir more often if pot is prone to sticking.
Add in the half and half, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, and parsley (reserve some parsley for garnish!). Stir and combine well. Salt and pepper to taste.
Then add in the meatballs and cook until pasta is al dente and meatballs are warmed through. Top with parmesan cheese and remaining parsley and serve immediately.
