Instructions
Step 1
Meatballs
Step 2
Combine all ingredients, (except the oil), in a large bowl until well-combined.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a large sautee pan over medium heat and add the meatballs. Let them fry, cooking on each side until lightly browned, but not cooked all the way through. About 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Add the meatballs to tomato sauce and let them simmer on medium low heat for about 45 minutes.
Step 5
Homemade Sauce
Step 6
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the onions and garlic until they’re softened- about 15 minutes.
Step 7
Add the pureed tomatoes and juice, the bay leaf, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Step 8
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 40 minutes (with the meatballs in there!)
Step 9
Remove the bay leaf and parsley prior to serving, and mix in the basil. Serve, and enjoy!
