To make the meatballs: Stir the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Then add the Parmesan cheese, beef, and pork. Shape the meat mixture into meatballs, and place on a baking sheet. I prefer the meatballs to be on the smaller side, but you can make them any size you want.

To make the soup: Bring the broth and frozen spinach to a boil in a large pot. Add the meatballs (uncooked) and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they don't stick. Add the pasta and continue cooking at a low boil until both the pasta and meatballs are cooked (approximately 20 minutes). Season with salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving, if you wish.
