Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook to deepen the color for more flavor.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste and stir well. Add the sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn and the flavors develop.
- Meanwhile, prepare the meatballs. Break the beef apart in a large bowl. Add the beaten egg, bread crumbs, oregano, mint, salt and pepper. Gently mix with your hands until blended. Don't overwork the beef or the meatballs will be tough.
- Shape the mixture into about 12 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Drop them into the sauce and stir gently to cover in sauce. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Boil the pasta according to the package directions. Drain.
- Remove the meatballs from the sauce and add the pasta. Gently stir to coat the pasta then add the meatballs back to the pan. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right meatballs: Not all frozen meatballs are created equal. Look for meatballs made with high-quality ingredients and a good ratio of meat to bread crumbs. Avoid meatballs that are too heavily breaded or made with low-quality meat.
- Thaw the meatballs properly: Before cooking, thaw the meatballs in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. This will help them cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs: Browning the meatballs before adding them to the sauce will help to develop their flavor and give them a nice crispy texture.
- Choose a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your frozen meatballs shine. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and complements the meatballs well. Some popular options include tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, and honey garlic sauce.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce: Once you've added the meatballs to the sauce, let them simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will help to infuse the meatballs with the flavor of the sauce.
- Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta or rice: Frozen meatballs are a great addition to any pasta or rice dish. They're also delicious served on their own with a side of vegetables.
Conclusion:
Frozen meatballs are a convenient and versatile ingredient that can be used to create a variety of delicious meals. With a little planning and effort, you can easily turn frozen meatballs into a flavorful and satisfying dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a bag of frozen meatballs and get creative in the kitchen!
