1/4 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs (medium or large)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a bowl, place ground beef, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and eggs; mix well and shape into balls.
- In a 9 x 13 pan, spray your pan with cooking oil, then place the meatballs and cook for 20-25 minutes until the temperature in the meatballs reaches 165 degrees.
- In a 4-quart place water, salt, and bay leaf over high heat. Bring water to a boil. Once it’s boiling, place the spaghetti in the pot a bring it down to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it’s al dente, meaning the pasta is cooked but still firm.
- In another 4-quart pot over medium to high heat, place butter. Melt butter; once the butter is melted, add all-purpose flour and mix for 2 minutes.
- Then, turn the burner down to medium, add milk, and mix with a whisk for 5-7 minutes until it starts to thicken. You will know when it’s thick when the sauce coats the back of the spoon.Â
- Once the sauce is done, add salt, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese; mix well and turn off the burner.
- Once the pasta is done, drain the pasta using a colander, then add the cooked pasta to the alfredo sauce and mix well.
- Begin plating, place spaghetti alfredo onto a plate, and add your cooked meatball. You can top it with some extra parmesan cheese and some chopped parsley.
