Method

1

In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

2

Roll the meat mixture into very small meatballs (about 1/2 inch in diameter).

3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add the meatballs. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.

5

Add the pasta and cook according to package directions (usually about 8-10 minutes).

6

Stir in the escarole or spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

7

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
