Ingredients for Spaghetti and Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, basil, sugar, and salt. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked meatballs to the marinara sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the spaghetti, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
