While meatballs are baking, in medium-size
saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add
onion; cook, stirring, until slightly softened,
about 3 minutes. Add garlic and orzo; cook,
stirring, until orzo is coated and onion is
softened, 3 more minutes. Add broth, salt, and
pepper. Simmer, covered, until orzo is tender,
about 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach, tomatoes
and mint; cook until spinach is wilted and
tomatoes are heated through, about 1 minute.
