Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 0.5 lb ground beef, 0.25 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 egg until just combined. Roll into 12 small meatballs.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in the 2 cups marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and divide among plates.
Step 5
Spoon the meatballs and sauce over the spaghetti. Top with the 0.25 cup parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
