Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • Salt
  • 3/4 pound ground beef, pork and veal mixture
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup chopped shredded carrots
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, mashed into a paste with a little salt, optional
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 pound ditalini pasta

Directions

In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, bring the broth to a boil, then salt it and lower to a simmer.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the ground meat, eggs, carrots, cheese, bread crumbs, parsley and garlic paste, if using; season with pepper. Form into 1-inch balls.

Drop the meatballs into the broth and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pasta and cook until al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool before serving to your pooch! Season the people's portions with salt and pepper and sprinkle with more Parmigiano-Reggiano.

    I used to make this for our dog, Sparky, and it was nice for the three of us to be able to have a family meal together. Sparky loved it, and my husband and I liked it a lot, too. It was also a good recipe when he wasn't well toward the end of his life and had couldn't eat his dry food anymore. The vet gave us the thumbs up for giving him this meal. He was very old and we had to put him down in July, but I am so glad that I was able to make him some special meals.
