In a medium sized bowl combine 1/2 pound ground pork, 1/2 pound ground beef, 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 egg. Mix until combined.
Roll into 20 small meatballs. In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/5 of the 5 tablespoons butter. Add the meatballs and cook turning continuously until brown on each side and cooked throughout. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
Add the remaining butter and 3 tablespoons flour to skillet and whisk until it turns brown. Slowly stir in 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and bring to a simmer until sauce starts to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the meatballs back to the skillet and continue to simmer over low heat.
While the meatballs are cooking, boil a pot of salted water. Cook 16 ounces pasta to preferred doneness and drain. Add to the meatballs and sauce and toss to coat.
Serve hot with additional parsley as garnish.
