Penne Pasta

Saute chicken and garlic in olive oil until chicken is cooked through.
Add the tomatoes, then the washed veggies. Simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on, which helps steam the veggies. Add salt & pepper to taste.

ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP

1/2 Pound Ground Veal
1/2 Pound Ground Sirloin
1 Large Egg
1 Cup Grated Parmesan Or Romano Cheese
1/2 Cups Bread Crumbs
Salt And Pepper
2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley
8 Cups Homemade Chicken Broth
1 bunch of fresh spinach, Washed, Trimmed And Chopped
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Or Romano Cheese
1 cup acini de pepe or orzo pasta, cooked FIRM and drained


COOKING DIRECTIONS:

Heat the broth in a large pot. Mix together the meats, cheese, egg, bread crumbs, parsley and salt and pepper. Once the broth is hot, reduce it to a simmer. Form small meatballs about one inch in diameter, and drop them into the broth. Cook for about 5 minutes, and then drop in the escarole. Cook for a few more minutes or until all the meatballs float to the top, and the spinach is wilted. Skim off any foam that develops as the meatballs cook. Serve the soup in individual bowls, with a good helping of grated cheese on top.
