Spaghetti with Cheesy Meatballs

I love spaghetti, and these meatballs are really great. Anything cheesy is good with me. I served this with Italian salad. The meatballs are so filling, we could barely eat half our plates.

Ingredients:

1 lb extra lean ground beef
1/2 cup (1/2 slice) bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, diced
2 - 3 Tablespoons Romano cheese
2 - 3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can spaghetti sauce
Spaghetti noodles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400. Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions. In bowl, mix all ingredients except spaghetti sauce and noodles. Shape into 1 inch balls. Places in a large greased dish. Bake 20 - 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat spaghetti sauce in pan over medium heat. When meatballs are fully cooked, place into pan with spaghetti sauce. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Serve spaghetti sauce over noodles.
