Ingredients

This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or when you want to impress your guests. You will need the following ingredients:

1 pound of ground beef
1/2 cup of bread crumbs
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of chopped parsley
1 egg
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1 pound of spaghetti
1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Start by preparing the meatballs. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Form the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Be sure to turn them so they cook evenly on all sides.

Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Add the cooked meatballs back to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and place it in a large bowl. Pour the sauce and meatballs over the spaghetti and toss to combine. Serve the spaghetti and meatballs with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
