Pork, Apple and Cheddar Meatballs with Egg Noodles

Here is another favorite from Rachael Ray.  It is quick and easy to make and the kids love it!  Plus, it gives you a reason to use your box grater that your little brother got you for Christmas...oh wait that last part was just for me! 

1 pound ground pork
1 cup coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 small tart apple (granny smith) peeled and grated
1/2 small onion grated
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 egg
Salt and pepper
One 12-ounce package of egg noodles
4 TBSP butter

1.  Preheat the broiler.
2.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with butter
3.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork, cheese, breadcrumbs, apple, onion, 3 tablespoons parsley, the egg, salt and pepper. 
4.  Shape into 16 meatballs and arrange on the baking sheet.
5.  Broil the meatballs until golden and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a pot of boiling water, cook the noodles until al dente.  Drain, then return them to the pot and toss with the butter and remaining 5 tablespoons of parsley; season with salt and pepper. 

Divide noodles and top with meatballs.

Serve and Enjoy!
