Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add ½ cup scallions, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes more. Add broth; cover and simmer 10 minutes.

2. Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl, and let soak 10 minutes. Combine ½ cup Parmesan, remaining ½ cup scallions, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, remaining ½ teaspoon pepper, and next 4 ingredients in a separate bowl. Stir in breadcrumb mixture, and form into 1½-inch meatballs.

3. Add meatballs to sauce; cover and simmer 20 minutes more. Add cream, and return to a simmer. Add remaining ½ cup Parmesan, and stir until sauce is slightly thickened.

4. Add drained cooked pasta and sauce to pot, and toss gently to combine. Serve with additional Parmesan.
