Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions for al dente texture. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Shape the meat mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and set them aside on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 6-8 minutes total. (They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.)
Transfer the meatballs to a pot of marinara sauce and simmer gently over low heat for 25-30 minutes, until the meatballs are fully cooked and flavorful.
While the meatballs cook, prepare the toasted ravioli: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes—one for flour, one for whisked eggs and milk, and one for breadcrumbs.
Dip each ravioli in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded ravioli in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
To serve, plate the spaghetti and top with meatballs and marinara sauce. Arrange the toasted ravioli on the side. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
