Directions:

For the Meatballs:

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get around 20-24 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through (about 12-15 minutes). Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.

For the Marinara Sauce:

In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chopped basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the cooked meatballs to the sauce and let them simmer for an additional 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

For Serving:

While the meatballs are simmering in the sauce, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain.
Serve the cooked spaghetti with the marinara sauce and meatballs on top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Enjoy your homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs, a comforting and classic Italian-American dish!
