A classic spaghetti and meatballs recipe that brings the warmth of home cooking to your table, filled with juicy meatballs and vibrant marinara sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Spaghetti
  • 1 pound Ground beef
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cups Marinara sauce
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for later if needed.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a plate as you gather them all together.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sauté them until they are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  5. Once browned, add marinara sauce to the skillet with the meatballs. Reduce the heat and let everything simmer together for 10-15 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through, and the sauce is heated.
  6. To serve, place a generous portion of spaghetti on each plate and top with meatballs and marinara sauce. Garnish with fresh basil for a fragrant finish.

Notes
