Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups spinach, rinsed and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup seashell pasta

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, basil, parsley, Parmesan, and garlic powder; shape into 3/4-inch meatballs.
  • In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil; gently drop the meatballs in and cook for about 10 minutes.
