Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Wedding Soup Pasta

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Combine the Base

Add the uncooked pasta directly into the dish. Pour in the chicken broth, making sure the pasta is mostly submerged. This is key—the pasta will cook right in the oven.

Step 3: Add the Meatballs

Scatter the mini meatballs evenly over the pasta. As they heat, they’ll flavor the broth and enrich the entire dish.

Step 4: Bake Covered

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about 25–30 minutes. This traps steam and allows the pasta to cook evenly.

Step 5: Add the Greens

Carefully remove the foil and stir in the spinach. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, for another 5–10 minutes until the greens are wilted and everything is tender.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Let the pasta sit for a few minutes before serving. The broth will thicken slightly, creating a silky, soup-like sauce.

Tips for Extra Flavor

If you want to build on the base recipe without complicating it:

• Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top before serving
• Add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder
• Finish with a drizzle of olive oil for richness
