Veal-Parsley Meatballs with Noodles
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1/3 cup dried bread crumbs
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles, such as pappardelle
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 cup white wine
Place veal in a large bowl and sprinkle with bread crumbs, shallot, 1/4 cup of the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
Gently fold the ingredients together just until mixed.
With your hands, roll small meatballs about an inch in diameter; you should have about 32 meatballs.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add noodles and cook until tender, about 9 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add meatballs and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until they are browned all over and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes.
Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
Remove meatballs balls from the skillet with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add butter and garlic.
Cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Add wine, increase heat to high, and boil until liquid is reduced by half.
Stir in remaining 1/4 cup parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Add meatballs and cook until just reheated.
Pour sauce and meatballs over noodles and serve.
