  • Gently mix together the meat, breadcrumbs, cheese, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt & pepper, milk and egg.
  • Form the meatballs about the size of a golf ball and place on a cookie sheet or large plate. Just make as many as you can. Cover with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge until you are ready to cook.
  • Now empty the two cartons of chicken broth in a large pot and season the broth with salt & pepper and poultry seasoning. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium and add your meatballs. Cook the meatballs about 5 minutes.
  • Add you pasta, and stir frequently so it doesn't stick. Cook about 10 minutes or according to your package directions.
  • A few minutes before serving add your spinach. Cook just until wilted- about a minute. Top with extra Parmesan cheese and serve!
