Thank you for this great 5-Star recipe! I hadn't made spaghetti & meatballs for over 25 yrs. because it took too much time & effort. This recipe is so quick & easy I can't help but make it often. I added a bit of chopped onion and just a tiny bit of chopped garlic, instead of a whole clove the 2nd time I made this recipe. I used my cookie scoop to shape the meatballs & it made things go even quicker.

I made this one night when there was practically nothing left to eat in the house. My husband loved them! **Edited/updated** I have made these several times now, and although I like the easiness of simmering them in the sauce, we just don't like how oily it gets from the beef. The flavor is delicious, though! I always bake the meatballs for about 20 minutes and drain the fat off - then I add them to the sauce and simmer for a few more minutes. Thanks for sharing!

I JUST finish making this and after taking the first bite, I've got to say....WOW! I can't believe this actually came out of my kitchen, this is SUCH a wonderful and easy recipe!<br/><br/>I've got to say that I did substitute oregano for parsley, and instead of salt I used adobo seasoning (I'm Dominican, so I use adobo for absolutely EVERYTHING!) I also used grated parmesan cheese according to my liking! This is beautiful, thanks for such a lovely recipe!
