6 servings
Servings4
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces ground pork
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
2 sprigs rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon finely chopped sage
¼ cup grated Parmesan
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2

Combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, Parmesan cheese, egg, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

3

Roll the mixture into ½-inch balls, and place them on a large baking sheet. Bake the meatballs for about 10 minutes until just browned.

4

While the meatballs cook, heat the olive oil in a pot over medium. Cut ½ the lemon into thin slices, and brown them on each side. Toss in the garlic, and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

5

Pour the chicken stock, lemon juice for the other ½ of lemon, Parmesan rind, and sprigs of rosemary into the pan, and bring the liquid to a boil.

6

Add the pasta and cooked meatballs, and cook the pasta until it's al dente.

7

Lower the heat so the soup is simmering, then remove the parmesan rind. Season the soup with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

8

Stir the spinach into the soup. Once the spinach wilts, remove the soup from the heat. Sprinkle the soup with additional Parmesan, if desired.
