2 lbs spaghetti

1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups marinara sauce
16 small mozzarella balls

Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form into 16 meatballs and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a large saucepan.
Add cooked meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
Top each meatball with a mozzarella ball and place an olive slice in the center to create an “eyeball.”
