Method:

1
Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons chopped basil in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for at least 40 minutes.
2
While the sauce simmers, combine ground beef, graham cracker crumbs, eggs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, parsley, and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl.
3
Mix well with clean hands, and shape into 20 walnut-size meatballs.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry meatballs until browned and cooked though, about 10 minutes.
5
Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce, and simmer gently while boiling the pasta.
6
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; stir in spaghetti. Cook the pasta until it has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
7
Drain well. Carefully toss the spaghetti with the sauce and meatballs.
8
Serve, sprinkling each plate with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.
