This was pretty easy to make (especially if you use frozen meatballs) and the boys in my house loved it!

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped carrots

3 cloves garlic

1 pound fully cooked meatballs, frozen or homemade

32 oz beef broth

28 oz diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 1/2 cups ditalini pasta or elbow macaroni or any small pasta you like

Parmesan for sprinkling

1 Add olive oil to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots and saute for 3 – 5 minutes. Add meatballs and garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

2 Add beef broth, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes on medium low, stirring occasionally.

3 Add pasta and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
