Preparing the Meatballs

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.

Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

Cooking the Meatballs

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil.
Place the meatballs in the skillet and brown on all sides, cooking for about 5-7 minutes.
Once browned, add the jar of Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce to the skillet, ensuring the meatballs are coated in the sauce.
Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are cooked through.

Cooking the Spaghetti

While the meatballs are simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the Rao’s Homemade Spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
Drain the spaghetti and set aside.

Serving

Place a serving of spaghetti on each plate.
Top the spaghetti with the meatballs and a generous amount of Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce.
Optionally, sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
