Elaboration

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC. If you use a fan at 180ºC.
2. Melt the butter in the cocotte over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and fry gently for 4 to 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
3. Add the minced garlic and mixed herbs and fry, stirring continuously, for another minute.
4. Once the onions have softened nicely, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool.
5. In a large bowl , place the pork mince, chopped parsley, dill, breadcrumbs, and cooled onion mixture. Add a generous pinch of salt and a little pepper before pouring in the egg.
6. With a wooden spoon , mix all the ingredients for the meatballs. Don't overwork the mixture to prevent the meatballs from getting tough.
7. Divide the mixture into 24 equal parts and round them until you have 24 equal balls. You can also form the meatballs with the help of the meatball and croquette tongs .
8. Place the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 15 to 18 minutes, until you see that the meatballs are a little toasted on the outside.
9. Let's prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in the cocotte used to fry the onions (this will add extra flavor to the sauce).
10. Enter the flour. Stirring continuously, let the flour cook for 2-3 minutes to create a paste.
11. Slowly add the broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps in the sauce. When the mixture thickens, add a little more broth. Repeat this until you finish with the ingredients for the sauce.
12. Mix the red currant jelly to sweeten with the salt and pepper before removing the sauce from the heat.
13. Mix the herbs and cream to finish the sauce. Place the meatballs in the sauce to keep them warm while the pasta cooks.
14. Cook pasta according to package directions.
15. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and put it in the cocotte with the meatballs and the sauce.
16. Stir the pasta gently before serving. Now you can enjoy these noodles with meatballs inspired by Scandinavian cuisine!
