Instructions
Meatballs
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheet. Line sheet with aluminum foil and place oven-proof wire rack over top. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Add all meatball ingredients to a large bowl. Gently mix with your hands until combined. Roll into about 3/4 inch meatballs. You should have about 25 meatballs. *See Note
Step 3
Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside for later.
Soup
Step 4
Meanwhile, start the soup. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables have softened. Add the garlic, stir, and cook for another minute.
Step 5
Pour in the white wine, beef bone broth, chicken broth, bay leaf, white pepper, black pepper, and dry mustard. Bring to a boil.
Step 6
Once boiling, add the ancini de pepe pasta. Cook for about 10 minutes until the pasta is almost cooked through, stirring occasionally. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the meatballs and arugula. Cook for another 3 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
Step 7
Divide among bowls to serve. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper as desired.
