Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb hamburger
3 heaping Tbsp parmesan or romano grated cheese
1/4 c breadcrumbs; 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
2 eggs
1 Tbsp parsley and 1 minced clove of garlic
cooking oil to cover bottom of skillet
1 lb italian sausage, cut into pieces desired and 3 whole cloves of garlic
SAUCE:
2 large can(s) whole tomatoes
2 8-oz can(s) tomato paste

Steps:

1. Mix all meatball ingredients, moisten with small handful of water and then roll into medium sized balls and fry until almost done. Remove from pan.
2. Fry sausage pieces and garlic cloves until nicely browned. Remove from pan.
3. Cook tomato paste in the pan used for browning meats for a couple of minutes.
4. Empty 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.
5. Add the sausages, garlic cloves, meatballs and season all with a couple pinches of basil leaves and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Simmer for 2 hours partially covered and stir once in awhile.
7. Be careful when stirring not to break up the meatballs.
