What You'll Need
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3/4 cup dry plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce (see Note)
- 1 pound spaghetti
What to Do
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients except pasta sauce and spaghetti; mix well.
- Form mixture into 12 meatballs then brown meatballs in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add pasta sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink.
- While meatballs finish cooking, cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and serve meatballs and sauce over spaghetti.
Note
