Vegetarian Swedish Meatball Sauce

This is one of those meals that I don’t think I’ve made in probably 4 years, but I absolutely love! I love how easy this is to throw together, especially if you already have some “meatballs” on hand. The “meatballs” I used are Walnut Cheddar Balls from the Moosewood Restaurant Table cookbook.

One thing about nutrition is that people think it has to be super complicated. It really doesn’t. At the most basic levels of nutrition, we want to balance our plate with carbohydrates (about 50-60% of the food we eat), protein (about 20-30%), and fat (about 20%). As you can see with this meal, the gravy for the meatballs and the egg noodles are carbohydrate sources, the walnut balls and the egg noodles are protein sources, and the gravy has a good amount of fat in it too. So we didn’t even have to do anything extra to make the meal more balanced; it’s just naturally a good dinner idea!
