Norwegian Meatballs with Gjetost Sauce

Added by: on Jan 13th, 2011
Here’s an unusual version of pasta and meatballs. The delicately flavored sauce features gjetost, a firm, caramel-colored Norwegian cheese with a distinctive, rather sweet flavor. Look for 8-ounce bricks of gjetost in the supermarket dairy case.

Directions:

1

In a medium-size bowl, beat egg with flour. Lightly mix in veal and % cup of the broth until well combined. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; place slightly apart in a greased shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 450° oven until well browned (about 15 minutes). Using a spatula, loosen meatballs from pan; set aside in pan and keep warm.

2

In a wide frying pan, combine half-and-half and remaining 1/2 cup broth; bring to steaming over medium heat (do not boil). Add cheese and stir until melted. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and dill until smooth. Lightly mix in meatballs and any pan drippings; season to taste with salt and white pepper. Keep warm over lowest heat.

3

In a 5- to 6-quart pan, cook linguine in 3 quarts boiling water just until tender to bite (1 to 2 minutes); or cook according to package directions. Drain well, divide among warm dinner plates, and top with meatballs in sauce.

Very easy to make. Could be used as an appetizer with a dipping sauce. I know before I could get them into the sauce my husband was already eating them!

Fresh marinara sauce makes all the difference in these robust sandwiches. Look for it near the cheeses and fresh pasta at the supermarket.
