2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

2 teaspoons dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 large egg, lightly beaten

11 pound ground beef

Heat a skillet coated with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil. Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook them over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning them often so they brown evenly, until the centers are only slightly pink.

For the soup, heat the oil in a large saucepan or medium soup pot. Add the onion, celery, and garlic. Partially cover the pan and cook the vegetables over moderate heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, and spices. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium-low heat, and then add the pasta.

Keep the soup at a gentle simmer until the pasta is almost cooked, then transfer the meatballs to the pot and simmer gently for 3 minutes more to finish cooking the meatballs.
