How to Make 5 Star Spaghetti Meatballs

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix.
3. Roll the meatball mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides.
5. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
6. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
9. While the meatballs are baking, cook spaghetti according to package directions.
10. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet with the meatballs and sauce. Toss to combine.
11. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
