I made this slow-cooker recipe last week, and it was really good.  It calls for freshly grated Parmesan cheese, but I just used the kind that you shake out of the little cardboard can, and it was fine.

SPAGHETTI & MEATBALL SOUP

Prep:  45 mins  Cook:  6 1/4 hours  Makes:  8 servings

Meatball ingredients
1 cup soft bread crumbs
3/4 cup 2% milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 packages of ground mild Italian sausage (or links, de-cased)

Soup ingredients:
4 cups beef stock
1 jar (24 oz.) marinara sauce
3 cups water
1 teaspoon dried basil
8 oz. angel hair pasta, broken into 1 1/2 inch pieces
Parmesan rind, optional
Additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Preheat oven to 400.  In a large bowl, mix bread crumbs and milk.  Let stand for 5 minutes; drain.  Stir in eggs, cheese, and spices.  Add sausage; mix lightly but thoroughly.  Shape into 1-inch balls.  Place meatballs on a greased rack in a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.  Bake 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.

Transfer meatballs to a 6-qt. slow cooker.  Add stock, marinara sauce, water, basil, and, if desired, Parmesan rind.  Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours to allow flavors to blend.

Discard Parmesan rind.  Stir in pasta; cook, covered, on high 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender.  If desired, serve with additional cheese.

Editor's Note:  To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender.  Cover and pulse until crumbs form.  One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs.
