In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit 5 minutes to soak.
Add ground beef, ground pork, eggs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
Form mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 18-20).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs in batches, turning to brown all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
Transfer browned meatballs to a plate. Pour off excess oil from skillet.
Add marinara sauce to skillet and bring to a simmer. Return meatballs to sauce, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
Serve hot over spaghetti, with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
