Method

step 1

Mix the beef and pork mince, the breadcrumbs, parsley, parmesan, egg and a big pinch of salt and pepper together using your hands, and roll into small balls, about 2cm wide. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the meatballs for 6-8 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Remove to a bowl or plate.
step 2

For the broth, heat the oil in the saucepan over a medium heat and fry the carrots, onions and celery for 8 mins until softened.
step 3

Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the pasta and meatballs, and simmer for 5 mins until the meatballs are cooked through and pasta is tender. Add the spinach and cook for 30 seconds to wilt, then ladle into bowls and scatter over some parmesan before serving.
