Ingredients

 Marinara sauce4 Cup (16 tbs)
 Lean ground beef1 1/2 Pound
 Bread crumbs1 Cup (16 tbs)
 Yellow onion1 Small, grated
 Parsley1/2 Cup (16 tbs), minced
 Cold water1/4 Cup (16 tbs)
 Salt1/2 Teaspoon
 Black pepper1/4 Teaspoon
 1 large egg, lightly beaten
 Olive oil1 Tablespoon
 1 pound regular or thin spaghetti

Directions

1. While the Marinara Sauce cooks, make the meatballs: In a large bowl mix the beef, bread, onion, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the water, salt, pepper, and egg. Shape into twenty-four 2-inch balls.
2. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Saute the meatballs, turning frequently, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, bring a stockpot of unsalted water to a boil; add the spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain, transfer to a pasta bowl or other large bowl, and top with the meatballs and sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of parsley. Serve with Caesar Salad.
