Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside; drain excess oil if necessary.

In the same skillet, add canned tomatoes, sugar, and basil; simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavors.

Return meatballs to the skillet; cover and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Serve meatballs over spaghetti; garnish with additional parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.
