Ingredients:
- 400g spaghetti
- 500g tomato sauce (one can)
- 1 onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 500g minced meat mix (beef and pork)
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Delikat, salt, pepper, and basil to taste
- Oil for frying

Preparation:
1. Start by boiling the spaghetti. Fill a large pot with water, add a tablespoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the spaghetti and follow the package instructions to cook them al dente. Once cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Let them drain well.

2. While the pasta is boiling, you can prepare the meatballs. In a skillet, heat a little oil and add the finely chopped onion. Sauté the onion over medium heat until it becomes slightly golden and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute to release the flavors.

3. In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, sautéed onion and garlic, finely chopped parsley, flour, egg, salt, pepper, and Delikat. Mix all the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture. With wet hands, form the meatballs the size of a golf ball.

4. In a deep skillet, heat the oil and fry the meatballs over medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to allow the meatballs to brown evenly. Once fried, remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

5. Now, let’s prepare the sauce. In the same skillet, add a little oil, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until golden. Then, add the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken and develop flavors. Season with salt, pepper, and basil to taste.

6. Once the sauce is ready, add the fried meatballs and let them simmer together in the sauce for another 5-10 minutes, so the flavors combine.

7. Finally, serve the spaghetti on plates, add the meatballs with sauce on top, and if desired, sprinkle some chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost.

Serving suggestions: These spaghetti with meatballs are delicious alongside a fresh green salad or a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Possible variations: You can add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce for extra nutrients and texture. You can also experiment with different types of meat for the meatballs, such as turkey or chicken, for a lighter option.
