How to Make Italian Wedding Pasta

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the pot and set aside.
  3. Add carrots and celery to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in chicken broth, diced tomatoes (undrained), oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, return the meatballs to the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  6. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions, until tender. Stir in the chopped parsley during the last minute of cooking.
  7. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
