  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, finely grated onion, and Italian seasonings.
  3. Scoop portions of the meat mixture and roll into golf ball-sized meatballs, making an indentation for the cheese.
  4. Place cheese inside each meatball and seal them up, ensuring the cheese is enclosed.

  6. While baking, bring salted water to a boil, add spaghetti, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.

  8. Plate spaghetti, top with meatballs, and ladle warm marinara sauce over them. Serve and enjoy!
