BAKED SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Making the perfect meatballs is an art form. Here’s how to do it:

1. Mixing: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian breadcrumbs, minced garlic, diced onion, eggs, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
2. Rolling: Roll the mixture into meatballs of equal size, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
3. Browning: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides until golden brown.

3. Preparing the Sauce

A delicious sauce is the heart of any pasta dish. Here’s how to make a flavorful sauce for our baked spaghetti:

1. Sautéing: In the same skillet used for the meatballs, sauté minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant.
2. Simmering: Add tomato sauce to the skillet and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

4. Cooking the Spaghetti

Cooking spaghetti may seem straightforward, but there’s a trick to achieving perfectly al dente noodles:

1. Boiling: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
2. Draining: Drain the cooked spaghetti and set aside.
