Olive Garden is on of my favorite places for Italian food. But being Italian, I will tell you, there is nothing close to a good home cooked dinner with family. This soup reminds me a lot of one that I eat at the Olive Garden…only better.
Meatballs
1 1/2 lbs mild Italian sausage, casings removed
½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
½ grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic salt
Soup
4 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup mini pasta shells
1 bag (10oz) spinach leaves
grated parmesan cheese
Combine all ingredients for the meatballs; mix well then shape into bite-sized balls. Combine broth, paste, and garlic into your Rival Crock Pot. Add meatballs, cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. About 30 minutes before ready to serve add the pasta. When pasta is al dente add spinach leaves. Ladle into bowl and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Sometimes to change it up a bit I’ll use different types of pasta, as long as they are “mini”.
