Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.

Meatball Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Meatball Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 3

    Form and Cook the Meatball

    Shape the mixture into a single large meatball. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatball and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the canned tomato sauce over medium heat. Stir in the Italian seasoning and sugar, letting it simmer for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot. Pour the sauce over the spaghetti and toss to combine. Place the meatball on top, garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
