i like this sauce quite a bit and think you will as well. the meatballs add a nice flavor to sauce. i am interested in hearing out people's meatball recipes.
1. saute 1 clove finely diced garlic and 1 finely diced shallot in a generous quantity of olive oil.
2. skin 6 vine ripened tomatoes and dice. (dip tomatoes in boiling water for 30sec. called blanching(sp)).
3. in a pot, puree tomatoes with a hand blender and then toss in garlic / shallot mix. this leaves the garlic/shallots chunks instead of pureed.
4. cook on low heat and add salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, a splash of red wine, and i like a little crushed red pepper. you might add a pinch of oregano.
5. simmer while preparing meat balls.
6. add meat balls and simmer for 45 min.
7. just when you are going to take it off the stove, add a small pat of butter.
8. serve with whatever pasta. i prefer cork screws or some small crazy shape.
