- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 bay leaves, fresh or dried
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground beef, pork and veal combined [There's no mix in my grocery store, so I just use lean ground beef.]
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano, a couple of handfuls
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs, a couple of handfuls
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
- 6 cups chicken stock or broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups dried pasta, rings, broken fettucini or ditalini [My store never has this. On the episode for this recipe, she recommended using the pasta salad macaroni. It looks like little rings.]
- 1 pound triple washed fresh spinach, coarsely chopped [I buy baby spinach and don't chop it. Hey, I already admitted I'm lazy.]

- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, cracked away from skin
- 8 slices crusty Italian semolina bread [I used sliced sourdough.]

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano
- 1 cup shredded Asiago
- * All of these cheeses are available in specialty cheese case and dairy aisle already shredded
