  • In the same skillet, add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until it turns a light brown color. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and heavy whipping cream. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to simmer for several minutes until it thickens slightly.

  • While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and then toss it with the meatball sauce. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add another splash of broth or cream and stir to combine.
