Fettuccine with Swedish Meatballs

After coming back from Church, Alvin started to try a new recipe that he newly found on the internet - Swedish meatballs are such a classic perfect meal!

This meal is ready in just 30 minutes and perfect for feeding a hungry family during the week.  We serve ours over Fettuccine, but it would also be great served over mashed potatoes or rice.  It is such a classic recipe and this one I believe is the best!

The creamy sauce has a secret ingredient that our family loves which I think adds such amazing flavour. Worcestershire sauce. It really adds good flavour to the creamy sauce and takes it to the next level.

The creamy gravy sauce is really what makes this meal so incredible! And the best part…  my entire family LOVES them!
