Here is how you make Italian Meatballs + Sauce:

Meatballs:This recipe is really easy, basic, and delicious. Let me know if you want the more complicated one.2 lbs ground beef (I usually get 96/4 to make them as healthy as possible)3 eggs1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbsSaltPepperOlive OilIf frozen, microwave beef on power level 2, but best used when fresh.Mix all together, but not too well. Form golf ball sized. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until well browned.Red Sauce:Also very basic and delicious.1 big can whole tomatoes1 small can tomato pasteGarlic (preferably fresh, but the jarred stuff is okay)Basil (preferably fresh, but dried works)OreganoCook red sauce with olive oil. Put tomatoes and tomato paste in blender, puree. Cook for about 20-30 minutes on stove. Don't add the basil until about a minute before the sauce is done; if you put the basil in too early, the bitterness in the leaf leeches into the sauce.Serving Size: 6Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GAYATHRINW.
