Ingredients

Ingredients

1 Pound Ground Beef
3⁄4 Cup Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
2 Eggs
1⁄4 Cup Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1⁄4 Cup Parsley
2 Tbs Butter
1 Small Onion, diced
3 Large Carrots, diced
3 Stalks Celery, diced
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1⁄2 Cup White Wine
8 Cups Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbs Garlic Powder (divided)
2 Tbs Italian Seasoning (divided)
2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary
1 Cup Acini De Pepe Pasta
2-3 Cups Fresh Spinach, chopped
Parmesan Cheese, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs.

Step 2

Mix them, but don’t over mix them.

Step 3

Roll them into tiny meatballs (about the size of a large marble) and place them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place them into the center rack of the oven for 25 minutes.

Step 4

In the meantime, melt the butter in a large pot and add the diced onion, carrots and celery.

Step 5

Season them with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.

Step 6

Sauté them until soft, stirring frequently.

Step 7

This should take about 7-10 minutes.

Step 8

Add the garlic and saute for an additional minute.

Step 9

Stir in the white wine and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes then slowly stir in the chicken broth.

Step 10

Season the soup with salt, pepper, half of the garlic powder and half of the Italian seasoning.

Step 11

I like to tie the rosemary and thyme in kitchen twine to make it easier to fish out later.

Step 12

Add the pasta and let it cook in the broth for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
Step 13: If the pasta has absorbed too much of the broth, feel free to add another 1⁄2-1 cup.
Step 14: Stir in the spinach until it’s wilted.
Step 15: Once they’re done cooking, add the meatballs to the sauce and stir them in.
Step 16: Remove the rosemary and thyme, serve warm, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (optional) and enjoy!
