  • 1 step

    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. In a large bowl, combine beef mince, finely chopped fresh oregano, fresh parsley, dried breadcrumbs, roughly 1/3 of a beaten egg per person, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

  • 2 step

    Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

  • 3 step

    While the meatballs are baking, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  • 4 step

    For the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and onion, sautéing until soft and translucent.

  • 5 step

    Add the chopped tomatoes and dried chilli flakes to the pan according to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 6 step

    Stir in a spoonful of cream cheese into the tomato sauce until fully incorporated and the sauce becomes creamy. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  • 7 step

    Add the baked meatballs to the creamy tomato sauce and gently mix to coat all the meatballs with the sauce.

  • 8 step

    Serve the spaghetti on plates, top with the meatballs and sauce. Garnish with finely grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
