Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and form into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Meatballs and Sauce

    Add the browned meatballs to the sauce and let them simmer together for another 10-15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the meatballs are simmering, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Serve the meatballs and sauce over the spaghetti. Toss salad greens with dressing and serve on the side.
