Sunday Sauce Recipe on Food52

Name: Sunday Sauce Recipe on Food52
Ingredients: 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs; 1/2 cup milk (or cream or half-and-half); 2 large eggs; 2/3 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese; 2 pounds ground chuck (85/15) (I think a mix of meats is best. I use beef and turkey, sometimes beef and pork, all three if I feel extravagant); Salt and pepper (A good amount of each—it\'s not a bad idea to fry off a tester before you cook the whole batch.); Olive oil, for frying; 1 to 2 pounds sweet or hot Italian sausage links (I try to find a brand with the fewest and most recognizable ingredients, i.e. no preservatives.); 2 (6-ounce) cans tomato paste; 3 (28-ounce) cans tomato puree (I often use crushed tomatoes here. If using whole tomatoes, dump them into a bowl in the sink and crush with your hands, carefully—they can sort of explode.); 2 medium onions, diced; 3 garlic cloves, minced or left whole (if you want to fish them out later); 1 cup white wine; 3 bay leaves, dried or fresh; 1 tablespoon dried oregano; 1/4 cup basil leaves, sliced into a fine chiffonade; Salt and pepper; 1 pinch sugar; Spaghetti, or whatever pasta shape you\'d like with this sauce, for serving
