Meatballs and Sauce Recipe
Start with your sauce.
Making homemade Italian Sauce is super easy and delicious.
Ingredients:
6-7 garlic cloves, chopped
1 can organic tomato paste
1 15oz can organic tomato sauce
3 28oz cans of organic whole peeled tomatoes
3oz of olive oil
salt
pepper
ground oregano
ground parsley
In large pot put in the olive oil and garlic - simmer (very low heat) until the garlic begins to get golden brown (2-4 minutes)
Add the tomato paste. continue to simmer for 2 minutes
Add the tomato sauce
Stir while continuing to simmer
Open the cans of peeled tomatoes 1 at a time pour into a medium sized bowl. Squish the tomatoes by hand until they have a semi smooth consistency and add to the pot
Continue to cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add seasonings to your liking - go easy on the salt until you get it just right. You can't add too much oregano
Cook for 90 minutes to 2 hours
MEATBALLS
While your sauce is simmering - it's meatball time!
Ingredients:
1lb ground veal
3/4lb ground pork
1/2lb ground beef
1 egg
4oz grated Parmesan cheese
3-4 minced garlic cloves
oregano
salt
pepper
mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand - make sure you mix well
in a large pan begin heating up olive oil on medium heat - enough oil to cook the meatballs - maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch deep
form your meatballs by hand and add to the pan (don't overcrowd the pan) cook on medium heat - move your meatballs - browning on all sides. As the meatballs are cooked - add them to your sauce.
Instead of pasta - use zucchini. I slice zucchini on a mandolin slicer and quickly cook it in a pan with olive oil.
You can also use spaghetti squash - Google it
