0 of 8 done
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, half an egg (beaten), breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan (if using), half of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until well blended.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion and remaining minced garlic. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the tinned chopped tomatoes and dried oregano to the pan. Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  6. Return the meatballs to the pan, cover, and let them simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
  8. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan if desired.
