Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

olive oil for greasing pan
1 pound lean ground beef
⅓ cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (24 ounce) jar Ragu Old World Style Traditional Pasta Sauce
12 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or more as needed for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, egg, and garlic in a medium bowl; mix well. Use a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop to portion into 12 to 13 meatballs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Bring sauce to a simmer in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place cooked meatballs into sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
Place hot pasta into a large bowl. Ladle some sauce over hot pasta; toss to coat. Serve with more sauce and meatballs; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
