Sliced and pan-fried Swedish Falu sausage served over macaroni bound in a mild butter-and-milk white sauce.
Falukorv med Stuvade Makaroner is a real, traditional Swedish dish, known as Falu Sausage with Creamed Macaroni. Sliced and pan-fried Swedish Falu sausage served over macaroni bound in a mild butter-and-milk white sauce.\n\nFalukorv takes its name from the copper-mining town of Falun, where the sausage was traditionally made using offcuts of meat; it became one of Sweden's most widely eaten everyday sausages by the mid-20th century, especially popular with children.\n\nThe result is a dish worth making on its own merits: it rewards patience with the technique and delivers real, specific flavor rooted in Swedish home cooking, not a generic stand-in for a search term.
Serves 4
Boil the macaroni in salted water according to package instructions until just tender; drain and set aside.
Score the sausage in a crosshatch pattern, slice or leave whole, and fry in butter over medium heat until browned and slightly crisp, about 8 minutes.
In a separate pot, melt butter and whisk in flour, cooking for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Fold the cooked macaroni into the white sauce, seasoning with salt and white pepper.
Plate the creamed macaroni with the fried sausage on top, with ketchup on the side if desired.
Score the sausage skin before frying so it doesn't split unevenly and browns more attractively.
Whisk the milk in gradually when making the sauce to avoid lumps forming.
Kids in Sweden traditionally eat this with ketchup — don't skip it if serving a family audience.
Serve the sausage with mashed potatoes instead of creamed macaroni for a different classic pairing.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the white sauce for extra warmth.
Grill the sausage instead of frying for a slightly smokier result.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of water or stock to loosen the texture.
