Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 2 cups marinara sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons basil chopped, for garnish, fresh

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
