Divide the meat mixture evenly, using a tablespoon (optional). Shape into meatballs.
In an air fryer, cook the meatballs at 400°F for 10 minutes.
On a medium heat pan, add 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
In the same pan, add 1 cup homemade tomato sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tbsp flour, and 1 tsp paprika. Stir well for 30 seconds.
Stir in 1 cup unsalted chicken broth. Next, add air-fried meatballs to the pan. Mix well. Let them simmer for another 2 minutes.
Add 14 oz cooked spaghetti, 1 tsp chopped basil, and toss for 1 minute until everything is evenly coated in the tomato sauce.
Remove the pan from heat. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese (0.125 oz) and 1 tbsp chopped parsley. Enjoy.
