Thoroughly knead the ground beef with the breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Shape into walnut-sized meatballs.
Cook the meatballs in olive oil, turning them until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Saute the onion in the same skillet, add the tomato sauce and meatballs, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Stir in the basil leaves.
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water according to the package directions, then drain.
Divide the spaghetti among plates and top with the meatball sauce. Serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.
