Juicy Meatballs in Homemade Sauce That Will Transform Your Spaghetti!

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the milk and mix everything together until just combined.

Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and set them aside.

2. Brown the Meatballs:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Don’t worry about cooking them all the way through at this stage. Remove the meatballs and set them aside.

3. Make the Homemade Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried basil, and sugar (if using). Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Simmer the Meatballs in the Sauce:

Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Gently stir to coat them in the sauce, then cover the skillet and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.

5. Serve:

Cook your spaghetti according to the package directions and serve the juicy meatballs and sauce over the pasta. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
