Italian Meatballs
1 cup Breadcrumbs
1 small clove of garlic (finely chopped)
1 lb ground beef
3 eggs
2 tbs grated Parmesan cheese
Pepper
Salt
Basil leaf
Parsley (about tsp)
water
Mix breadcrumbs, garlic, ground beef, parmesan cheese, eggs, pepper, salt, basil leaf and parsley. Add enough water to make the mixture easier to roll and stick together (approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup). Moisten hands and roll into balls. Brown on all sides and add meatballs to sauce.
Sauce
1 Large can crushed tomatoes
1 Large can puree
2 Cans (12 oz) Contadina tomato paste
1 Small onion finely chopped
oil
Basil leaf
Parsely
Pepper
Salt
1 tsp sugar
Sausage, or pieces of pork, or meatballs
Brown meatballs first, remove and set aside. Brown meat (if you have some), than sausage with chopped onion and set aside. I brown all this in a fry pan.
In a large pot put crushed tomatoes, puree, and paste. Fill each can of tomato paste twice. Add basil, parsley, pepper, salt, and sugar. Then add meatballs and meat as well as oil and onion. Simmer until sauce thickens and meat is done. When sauce is done, if oil rises to top, spoon the excess oil off with spoon before using. Spread over pasta with grated Parmesan cheese.
