A soup that I created when I went a restaurant that had Italian Wedding Soup. Instead of being pastaless, like most recipes I see for Intalian Wedding Soup, this soup had little bits of pasta that looked like bb's. It was delicious. I tried to recreate it at home--not perfectly, but enough that we have this dish every couple of weeks. A great way to sneak in greens when no one is looking.
Cook acini de pepe according to package directions. Drain, but don't worry about getting every drop of water out--it's soup after all. I use frozen spinach, so I put it in the acini de pepe while I am making the ground beef. That way, the heat of the pasta warms up the spinach, and the final step doesn't take quite as long.
In a large skillet or wok, saute garlic in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, add ground beef. Cook until beef is thoroughly brown. Drain on paper towels. Add broth and gravy mix to wok/skillet, simmer on medium low; stir until mix is completely dissolved plus one minute. Add spinach, acini de pepe, and ground beef. Simmer until hot, just a few minutes.
