Method
Preparing the Pasta
Boil the Spaghetti
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Making the Meatballs
Combine Meatball Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Form Meatballs
Shape the mixture into 3 large meatballs, about 4 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking Meatballs
Bake the Meatballs
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
Assembling the Dish
Combine Spaghetti and Sauce
In a large baking dish, mix the cooked spaghetti with the marinara sauce until well coated. Place the baked meatballs on top of the spaghetti.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly over the meatballs and spaghetti.
Baking the Dish
Bake the Spaghetti
Return the assembled dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Preparing the Garlic Breadsticks
Bake the Breadsticks
Place the prepared garlic breadsticks in the oven for the last 5-7 minutes of the spaghetti baking time until golden and crispy.
Serving
Serve
Once the baked spaghetti is done, remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve hot with the garlic breadsticks on the side.
