Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
This no-fuss guide promises a hearty meal for family gatherings, serving 7 to 10 people, and combines a flavorful tomato-based sauce
with homemade meatballs for an authentic touch.
The recipe breaks down into two main parts: the sauce and the meatballs.
For the sauce, start with basic pantry staples like one chopped onion browned in 3 tablespoons of fat, then mix in a No. 2 can of
tomatoes (about 2 1/2 cups), two 6-ounce cans of tomato paste, 2 cups of water, and seasonings including 1 teaspoon salt,
1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a bay leaf.
Simmer this mixture slowly for an hour to let the flavors meld into a rich, aromatic base.
The meatballs elevate the dish with a blend of 3/4 pound ground beef and 1/4 pound ground pork, bound together by 1 cup of fine dry
bread crumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, 1/2 cup milk, and two well-beaten eggs.
Season with salt and pepper, form into small balls, brown them in hot fat, and add to the sauce for a final 15-minute cook.
Serve over spaghetti for a comforting, crowd-pleasing dinner.
