To make the meatballs, mix together ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set them aside on a plate.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and fresh basil to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Gently drop the meatballs into the simmering sauce and let them cook for 10-15 minutes until they are fully cooked.
Once the meatballs are cooked, add the cooked Italian sausage to the sauce and let it cook for 5 more minutes.
Serve the spaghetti on a large platter, topped with the meatballs, sausage, and sauce. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy your spaghetti and meatballs with Italian sausage while it's hot!
