Put the beef, grated cheese, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and a lot of black pepper in a bowl. Lift the bread crumbs out of the milk (and squeeze some milk out if you want the meatballs firmer) and put them in the meat mixture. Gently mix the meat mixture together with your fingertips until just combined — the mixture should not be totally homogenous. Roll the meat into balls about 2 cm wide. Ideally, let them sit covered and refrigerated for a while, even overnight. Heat olive oil in a wide pan on moderate heat. Put in the meatballs, and cooking until the first side is browned. Carefully push the meatballs off the pan surface and try to brown the other sides as much as possible, taking care to not let the fond in the pan burn. Put in the the tomato paste and fry it for a moment. Put in the crushed tomatoes and deglaze the pan. Stir frequently for 10-20 min until the sauce has reduced to your liking. Right before you eat, mix a little grated cheese and chopped herb into the sauce before tasting to see if it needs more salt. Boil the spaghetti in salted water until almost done. Drain it and mix it into the sauce and meatballs, adding some of the cooking water if the sauce isn't liquid enough for you. Put it on a plate and top with more grated cheese and fresh herb.
