Preheat the broiler. Grease a rimmed sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Meatballs:
Place all meatball ingredients in a large bowl; stir to combine well. Shape mixture into small balls, 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in size. Place meatballs on prepared sheet pan. Coat the tops of the meatballs with the cooking spray.
Broil for 8-10 minutes until meatballs are lightly browned.
While meatballs are broiling, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; add the onion, celery and carrots; cook veggies for 4-5 minutes; add the crushed tomatoes with its juices, tomato sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and pasta to the soup; simmer for 10 minutes, or until pasta and vegetables are tender.
Serve, topped with parsley and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
