SPINACH MEATBALLS:
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Combine the meatball ingredients (spinach, beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt) together in a large mixing bowl.
Roll the mixture in your hands to form small balls roughly 1-inch in diameter and place on a baking sheet.
Place the meatballs in the preheated oven and cook for 12 minutes then set aside.
SOUP:
Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the carrot, onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the water, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper then bring to a boil.
Stir in the orzo and meatballs then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender, about 8 minutes.
Season the soup with salt & pepper to taste then serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
