Ingredients

  • 250 g Spaghetti
  • 400 g Beef Ground
  • 1 Small Onion finely chopped
  • 1 Garlic minced
  • 1 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Oregano Dried
  • 400 g Tomatoes Canned, Chopped
  • 1 tsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • Salt And Black Pepper
  • Fresh Basil Leaves For Garnish

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
  • Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set them aside.
  • In the same pan, add the canned chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  • While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Once the tomato sauce has thickened, return the cooked meatballs to the pan. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the meatballs to soak up some of the sauce.
  • Serve the spaghetti topped with the meatballs and tomato sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
