We start this recipe by making meatballs, but if you want to start with the frozen kind, we won't judge. And even though homemade marinara would be easy enough, we always use the jarred kind.

Ingredients
- 3/4 lb.
ground beef
- 1/2 cup
finely chopped onion
- 1/3 cup
bread crumbs (preferably Italian)
- 1/4 cup
plus 2 tbsp. grated parmesan, divided
- 1/4 cup
chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1
egg, lightly beaten
- 2
cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lb.
spaghetti
- 2 cups
marinara sauce
- 2
tubes crescent dough
- 1 1/2 cups
shredded mozzarella
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, ¼ cup Parmesan, parsley, egg and garlic until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into small meatballs (about 1”) and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil.
- Step 2Bake until mostly cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°.
- Step 3Meanwhile, make pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Step 4Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll crescent rolls and piece together like a sun shape, slightly overlapping, on the parchment. Top with spaghetti then nestle baked meatballs on top. Spoon about 1 cup marinara sauce over meatballs and spaghetti then sprinkle mozzarella on top. Gently roll up.
- Step 5Brush tops of crescents with olive oil then sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
- Step 6Bake until crescents are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with more parsley and serve warm with marinara for dipping.
