Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Shape the mixture into meatballs, using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for each meatball. Roll them gently between your hands to form round balls.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
-
Return the meatballs to the skillet and pour in the marinara sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
While the meatballs are simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
-
To serve, place a generous portion of pasta on each plate and top with the meatball mixture. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
