Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs Italian breadcrumbs or the equivalent in roughly torn stale bread
- ½ cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or parmesan cheese plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh parsley
- ¼ small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ½ cup whole milk or half and half or water, plus more as needed
- 1 large egg
- 1 pound ground beef or pork, chicken, turkey or a mix of 50% beef, 25% pork, 25% veal
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced celery about 3 stalks
- 1 cup diced carrots about 2 medium
- 1 ½ cups diced yellow onion about 1 medium
- 10 cups chicken stock or broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 whole head escarole cleaned and roughly chopped
- ¾ cup acini di pepe pasta or other small variety such as Pastina, tubetti, ditalini or orzo
- grated Pecorino Romano or parmesan for serving

Notes
- Be careful not to over-mix the meat or it will become tough. To avoid this, make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined before adding the meat.
- Take the meat out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before making the meatballs so that it's easier to mix.
- I like to rub my hands with either a bit of water or oil when forming the meatballs.
