1. Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, half the garlic, and half the onion in a large bowl, mixing until just combined.
2. Shape the mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs, roughly 2 inches in diameter.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the meatballs for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.
4. Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs, reduce heat to low, and simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
5. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook spaghetti according to package directions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
