3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
1 package (12 Oz. Size) Al Fresco Tomato And Basil Chicken Meatballs
1 whole Small Onion, Diced

1/2 cups Dry White Wine
5 cups Chicken Stock

1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet and brown the chicken meatballs on all sides, until heated through, 5 minutes total. Remove from heat.
2
In a deep pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Add the crushed pepper along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until they the veggies start to soften, 6 minutes.
3
Add the wine and stock. Bring to a light boil.
4
Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 minutes.
5
Add the chicken meatballs and spinach. Simmer for about 5 more minutes. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
6
Ladle into bowls and serve with crusty bread. I dumped a lot of grated parmesan cheese on mine and it turned my life upside down.
