Easy & deilcious. I made my own sausage & just fried it ala ground meat without making meatballs. I did amp up the garlic. -
pretty good, a little too tomato-y for my tastes but definitely easy and quick to make! thanks for the recipe! -
This sauce went together very easily and the aroma of the meatballs simmering was driving us crazy, LOL. Instead of serving this over spaghetti, I made meatball sandwiches by using toasted hoagie rolls rubbed with fresh garlic cloves and then topped with the meatballs and sauce.

I live in Minnesota and own my own business - I am a manufacturers sales representative.
Since I travel some and my husband travels a fair amount in his job, I love to cook to
unwind and bring the family together over a home cooked meal. When one or the other
is traveling, left-overs work great! Since I like to try new recipes in addition to the old family
stand-by's my 6 year old loves to be in charge of labeling the new ones "keepers" or "throwers."
