Method
Meatballs
Prepare the Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the Meatballs
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place the formed meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Sauce
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Prepare the Sauce
Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, sugar, salt, black pepper, and basil to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
Pasta
Cook the Spaghetti
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce
Once the meatballs are cooked and the sauce is ready, add the meatballs to the sauce and stir gently to coat. Serve over the cooked spaghetti.
