Prepare meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients of the meatballs with your hands until evenly combined. Make a small one-inch balls. Set aside.

Add chicken broth, water, salt & pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Return the fried meatballs to the pan, then add the acini di pepe pasta. Stir to combine.

Bring to a boil again, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, with the lid partially covered, for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the meatballs are cooked through.

Add the spinach and simmer an extra minute until soft. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
