How To Make favorite spaghetti sauce
-
Step 1Mix all meatball ingredients, moisten with small handful of water and then roll into medium sized balls and fry until almost done. Remove from pan.
-
Step 2Fry sausage pieces and garlic cloves until nicely browned. Remove from pan.
-
Step 3Cook tomato paste in the pan used for browning meats for a couple of minutes.
-
Step 4Empty tomatoes into a saucepan (I like a smooth sauce, so I blend them in a blender first). Otherwise, break up tomatoes with a spoon. Bring to a soft boil, turn down to a simmer and add the tomato paste to the simmering tomatoes.
-
Step 5Add the sausages, garlic cloves, meatballs and season all with a couple pinches of basil leaves and salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 6Simmer for 2 hours partially covered and stir once in awhile.
-
Step 7Be careful when stirring not to break up the meatballs.
