3. Get the Meatballs Ready
If you’re using store-bought meatballs, make sure they are fully cooked.
If you prefer homemade, quickly pan-cook or bake small meatballs beforehand.
Tip: Smaller meatballs work best—they distribute evenly and match the “wedding soup” feel.
4. Assemble the Dish
In a large baking dish:
- Add the cooked pasta
- Add the meatballs
- Sprinkle in the spinach
- Pour the chicken broth evenly over everything
Gently mix to distribute ingredients, but don’t over-stir—you want the structure to stay intact.
5. Bake to Perfection
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Then:
- Remove the foil
- Bake for another 10–15 minutes
This allows the top to slightly firm up while the inside stays moist and flavorful.
6. Let It Rest
Once out of the oven, let the dish sit for 5 minutes.
This helps the broth settle and gives the pasta time to absorb all the flavors.
