Gently mix until fully combined. Shape into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add about half the meatballs and cook about 3 minutes per side, turning to brown all over. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
-
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same dutch oven and reduce heat to medium-low. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and dill.
-
Add wine and deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
-
Add pasta and meatballs to the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until pasta is tender and meatballs are cooked through. During the last minute of cooking, add spinach and let it wilt.
-
Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
