My Nana used to cook this for me when I was young and as she prepared things and we waited for the sauce to finish, she'd tell me great stories about her life in Sicily and other secret business! This recipe is the best sauce I've ever had- I really think
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 4 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
-
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION:
In a large pot mix together garlic, tomato sauce, tomato paste, parsley and basil. Bring sauce to a boil and then turn down the heat and simmer.
In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder and parsley. Shape into balls the size of a child's fist. In a skillet, fry meatballs in hot olive oil until brown. Add to sauce mixture. Simmer over low heat for four hours.
