Method
Meatballs
Prepare the Meatball Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the Meatballs
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Meatballs
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.
Pomodorina Sauce
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Spaghetti
Cook the Spaghetti
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Combine the Dish
Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain and add it to the skillet with the Pomodorina sauce. Toss to combine and heat through for a couple of minutes.
Serve
Place the spaghetti on a plate, top with meatballs, and garnish with additional chopped basil or grated Parmesan if desired.
