Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of very well-salted water to boil and heat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, and coat it lightly with a nonstick spray.
Step 2
Place meat, crumbs, milk, parsley, cheese, salt, pepper, onion powder, eggs, and garlic in a large bowl, and mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until evenly mixed.
Step 3
Using wet hands if needed, form mixture into 2-inch meatballs (I used a 3 tablespoon scoop) and arrange on prepared tray. Roast for 12 minutes, until cooked through (you can cut one in half).
Step 4
Once water is boiling, cook spaghetti until one minute shy of tender.
Step 5
Heat pasta sauce in a deep saucepan add meatballs to the sauce and stir so they are coated. Reduce heat to a low simmer, put a lid on the pot, and simmer meatballs in the sauce for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Serve pasta and meatballs. Garnish with additional parsley and Parmesan (optional).
