Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Roll the mixture into meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add tomato sauce and oregano. Bring to a simmer, then return the meatballs to the skillet and coat them in the sauce.

  5. 5

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Drain the spaghetti and serve it topped with meatballs and sauce. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
