Tomorrow is the wedding of my favorite Bachelor--Sean. I think that Chris is pretty happy that he is finally getting married because he has been my TV crush for over a year. I decided to have a wedding themed dinner that we can eat while watching the wedding. I contemplated looking up the menu plan for their actual wedding, but I never got around to it. Chris suggested that I make Italian Wedding soup and I agreed. We will also be eating wedding cake (white cupcakes with white frosting, actually.)
When I pulled out my Italian Wedding Soup Recipe, I noticed that it was falling apart and realized that I needed to put it online. My mom gave me this recipe several years ago over the phone. She often dumbs down recipes for me, so I am not sure how complex this recipe is, but it is delicious!
Meatballs:
1 lb ground pork
3/4 c Italian Bread crumbs
2 eggs
1/2 c Parm cheese
Mix ingredients together and make small meatballs. Freeze on cookie sheet
Next, boil 8 oz aciniepe pasta until cooked- about 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
Take out your pressure cooker and add
1 T olive oil
2 cloves chopped garlic
1/2 C finely chopped onion
1 1/2 coarsely chopped carrots
Cook 3-4 minutes (lid off)
Next, add 2 quarts chicken broth. Bring to boil.
Add frozen meatballs
Put lid on pressure cooker. Cook 10 minutes. Let broth depressurize. Take off lid.
Add 9-10 oz baby spinach. Add cooked pasta. Add Parmesan cheese to taste.
