To make the soup:Put a large stock pot over a medium flame and heat the oil. Add the carrots, onions and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Add in the meatballs and the spinach. Return the pot to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.

Drop the pasta into a pot of generously salted boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions.
