What a fine example of an Italian recipe! It has everything you need, to warm you through & through when it’s cold outside! Plus it is all made in a single soup pot! Cannot beat that with a stick!

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 2 T. minced garlic
• 1 T. Italian Seasoning
• 1 – 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes (or use 1 jar favorite tomato sauce)
• 1 quart chicken broth
• 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
• 1 c. dried low-carb pasta (I like fusilli, ziti, or elbow)
• 1 lb. meatballs formed into bite-sized balls.

Instructions:

1. In a Dutch Oven or soup kettle heat oil & garlic until garlic starts to sizzle.
2. Add chicken broth, tomatoes & Italian Seasoning. Bring to a boil.
3. Add meatballs & return to boil.
4. Turn heat down & simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes.
5. Add pasta & cook for 10 minutes more or until pasta is tender.
6. Serve.
