Give this Italian meatball soup a try! Ladle soup, spaghetti and meatballs into bowls. Garnish with basil leaves and serve with Parmigiano-Reggiano, if using. Hi Nagi, What type of pasta would you substitute for the spaghetti to create a more soup-like dish instead of a spaghetti. And you can make the meatballs ahead of time and store them, covered with plastic wrap, in the fridge until you need 'em.
