Method

In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter.
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Enjoy!
