Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Wedding Soup Pasta
Some recipes feel like they belong at a celebration—simple, comforting, and quietly elegant. Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Wedding Soup Pasta is one of those dishes. Inspired by the cozy flavors of Italian Wedding Soup, this baked version transforms a classic into a hearty, weeknight-friendly meal with almost no fuss.
Instead of juggling multiple pots, you get everything—tender pasta, savory broth, and juicy meatballs—melded together in one dish, finished in the oven until warm, cohesive, and deeply satisfying.
The Beauty of Simplicity
With just four main ingredients, this recipe proves that you don’t need a long shopping list to create something memorable. Each component plays a role:
- Pasta becomes the comforting backbone
- Meatballs bring richness and protein
- Broth infuses everything with flavor
- Greens (like spinach) add freshness and balance
As it bakes, the pasta absorbs the broth, the meatballs release their juices, and the greens soften into the mix—creating a dish that tastes like it took hours, not minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked small pasta (such as ditalini or small shells)
- 3–4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups fully cooked mini meatballs
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or other leafy greens)
