1
Prepare the Meatballs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2
Form the Meatballs
Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet.
3
Bake the Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
4
Prepare the Sauce
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
5
Combine Meatballs and Sauce
Once the meatballs are cooked, gently add them to the saucepan with the tomato sauce. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
6
Cook the Spaghetti
While the meatballs are simmering in the sauce, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
7
Serve
Serve the spaghetti topped with meatballs and sauce. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
