Cooking Methods

  1. In a food processor or blender, process the bread into crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a medium bowl.
  2. Combine the meat, egg white, milk, allspice and salt with the crumbs. You will get the best results by mixing with your hands, but you can use a spoon if you prefer. Shape the mixture into 20 meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove from the heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. Cook the meatballs for 12-14 minutes or until browned on all sides, turning occasionally. Place the meatballs on a plate. Set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the noodles using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil. Drain well.
  5. Put the flour in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the broth. Put the mixture in the skillet and add the meatballs. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute, whisking occasionally.
  6. Stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Return the meatballs to the skillet. Cook until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. To serve, spoon the noodles onto plates. Spoon the meatballs and sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with the parsley.
