  • Prepare the meatballs: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, garlic, Italian herbs, and pepper. Shape the mixture into small to medium meatballs.
  • Cook the meatballs: Heat oil in a pan on over medium to high heat. Add the onion, sauté for about 5 minutes, until brown. Add the meatballs, allow them to cook , occasionally shaking the pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Add the tomato sauce: Add the tomato sauce to the pan and let the meatballs cook in the sauce for about 15 minutes over low to medium heat.
  • Cook the pasta: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta.
