Mama's Best Ever Spaghetti and Mozzarella Meatballs
  • Olive oil for greasing pan
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/3 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, plus extra for serving


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
  2. Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, mozzarella cheese, and garlic in a medium bowl. Use a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop to portion into 12 to 13 meatballs. Place on prepared baking sheet.
