Instructions
Place a foil-lined jelly-roll pan in oven on the middle rack. Preheat oven to 450 (keep pan in oven).
Cook noodles according to the package directions, omitting salt and fat.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat.
Add onion to pan; saut 6 minutes or until tender.
Place onion in a small bowl.
Combine beef, 3 tablespoons parsley, panko, milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; stir in 1/3 cup cooked onion. Shape beef mixture into 16 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs.
Place meatballs on preheated pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 450 for 12 minutes or until done, turning after 6 minutes.
Return skillet to medium-high heat.
Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat.
Add mushrooms, garlic, and paprika to pan; saut 8 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned.
Add wine to pan; cook 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates.
Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add stock; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens. Stir in remaining cooked onion; remove pan from heat. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, sour cream, mustard, and nutmeg.
Add meatballs to sauce; toss to coat. Spoon sauce and meatballs over cooked noodles.
Sprinkle evenly with remaining parsley.
Wine note: Go for a citrusy and mildly floral white, like A to Z's Oregon Pinot Gris, 2012 ($12). This crisp, full-bodied wine has enough structure to stand up to the meatballs and plenty of racy sharpness to complement the tangy combination of sour cream, garlic, and mustard. --Jordan Mackay
