    1 cup water
    4oz. (1 cup) uncooked Ditalini pasta (or medium shells)
    2 cups fresh spinach leaves, finely shredded (or frozen - squeeze out liquid)
    1 (8 oz.) can pizza sauce



    To Make Meatballs:

    1 lb. ground lean beef
    4-5 crackers (saltines)
    1 egg
    1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder (or to taste)
    1Tbsp. Italian Seasoning (or to taste)
    (note: Italian seasoning is Marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, sage, oregano, & basil)


Directions

To make meatballs:

Beat the egg slightly and mix in with the 1 lb. of ground beef. Crush the saltines and put it in with the beef. Add the Italian Seasoning. Mix all together. Make into little meatballs (fry in a frying pan).

If you rather, you could just use the frozen cooked Italian style meatballs instead.

In a large saucepan, bring broth and water to a boil. Add pasta and cooked meatballs; return to a boil. Cook 7 to 9 minutes or until pasta is almost tender. Do not drain.

Add spinach and pizza sauce; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. If desired, sprinkle individual servings with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
