- 1 g arlic clove (minced)
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3 Tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 carrot (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 5 oz fresh spinach (coarsley chopped)
- 2 g arlic cloves (minced)
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dry acini de pepe pasta (or orzo)

Steps
-
In a bowl, combine together the ground pork, beef, egg, garlic, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Shape into 18-20 meatballs (or 35-40 mini meatballs).
-
In a Dutch oven, heat 1 Tbsp oil over medium/high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half of the meatballs. Cook until the meatballs are browned, turning occasionally. Remove the meatballs to a separate dish and repeat with remaining meatballs.
-
Add 1 Tbsp butter with onions and carrots and sautee until soft and golden (6-7 minutes), then add the minced garlic and saute another minute.
-
Pour in the broth and add the pasta, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Add the meatballs back to the soup, season with salt and pepper to taste, and keep at a low boil for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until pasta is cooked to your desired doneness.
-
Add the spinach and cook another minute, or until spinach is wilted. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
