broth, carrots, bring to simmer. Add orzo cook 5 minutes (pastina 2 minutes), stirring frequently

Add:

meatballs and simmer in broth 10minutes. Stir in spinach, simmer until wilted (about 1 minute)

** When using orzo we had to add extra broth because it soaked up so much of it. You can add broth to your desired consistency after the meatballs are done and before adding the spinach.
