MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
Source of Recipe
internet
List of Ingredients
13 oz canned tomatoes (1 large can), coarsely chopped,
with juice
4 oz tomato sauce (1 small can)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 tsp chili powder
MEATBALL INGREDIENTS:
1 lb pork sausage
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 egg
1 lb pasta (tagliarini, spaghetti, or whatever)
Recipe
(1) Combine the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil
while preparing the meatballs.
(2) Mix all meatball ingredients. It is easiest to do
this with your hands. Form into walnut-sized
balls.
(3) Drop the meatballs into BOILING sauce. If the
sauce is not boiling, the meatballs will fall to
pieces. Simmer gently for about an hour. If you
are making the sauce to eat right away, you will
probably want to skim the grease that cooks out of
the sausage periodically. If you are making this
ahead, the grease will congeal when it sits over-
night in the refrigerator, and you can remove it
easily then.
(4) Check for salt. Depending on the brands of
sausage and tomatoes you use, you may not need
any. If you need to add salt, be sparing.
(5) Boil the pasta. Pour the sauce and meatballs over
it and serve with grated parmesan, or combine and
reheat in a casserole, sprinkled with parmesan.
NOTES
This is fine made a day ahead. Chilling it gives you a
chance to remove the grease that cooks out of the sausage
