Ingredients
3 pounds ground beef
1/4 box spaghetti
1 jar marinara
1 cup plain breadcrumbs

8 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup powdered parmesan cheese
1/4 cream
1/2 bunch fresh basil chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Directions
1. In a large bowl, add in ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, parmesan, cream, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
2. Blanch pasta according to label instructions then toss with 1/2 jar marinara and remaining oregano.
3. Lay a piece of plastic wrap down on the counter and spread out into a circle 1/3 inch thick.
4. Add about 1 cup of pasta into the center then carefully lift all for corners of the plastic wrap to the center creating a ball.
5. Carefully shape into a ball then gently place in baking dish.
6. Bake at 400°F for 30-45 minutes.

Pro tip: When making the meatball, be sure to leave the sides somewhat thick, otherwise, the meatball may fall apart.

When you slice into it, you'll reveal perfectly-cooked pasta that's just begging to be devoured.
