KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN TOMATO PASTA SAUCE AND PARMESAN MEATBALLS



Kittencal's Italian Tomato Pasta Sauce and Parmesan Meatballs image

There is a method to making the perfect sauce and that is a very long slow cooking time then refrigerate to blend the flavors, a good sauce needs time to "ripen" and develop it's full flavor, this sauce must be made a day or even up 4 days ahead in order for the flavors to intensify, the longer you leave it refrigerated the better it will be --- this recipe makes a fair amount use what you need then freeze the rest in plastic containers for another meal, for a quick thaw just pop in the microwave for about 8 minutes or a little more or thaw in refrigerator overnight, if desired you may partially precook the meatballs on a greased baking sheet in oven before adding to the sauce --- you will love this sauce and you will be making it often! ---- also see my recipe#150207

Time 3h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

prepared meatballs, recipe (see my Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs)
olive oil (to cover bottom of the pot)
1 large onion, chopped
6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (or to taste)
1 -2 bay leaf
1 tablespoon dried oregano (rubbed with fingers to release the oils)
1 tablespoon dried basil (rubbed with fingers to release the oils)
1 -2 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional or to taste)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/3-1/2 cup dry red wine (or to taste)
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (can use 3 cans if you plan of freezing some sauce)
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, well drained
1 tablespoon sugar (optional and to be added in the last 30 minutes of cooking time)

Steps:

  • Prepare the meatball recipe as directed on the recipe; transfer to a plate cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use (the meatballs may be prepared up to 1 day in advance).
  • Drain the diced tomatoes over a strainer.
  • Coat bottom of large heavy-bottomed pot with olive oil, heat over medium heat.
  • Saute onion with bay leaf, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper and crushed chili peppers for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions are transparent.
  • Add in fresh garlic; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste;mix and stir for about 2 minutes or until well combined with the onion mixture.
  • Add in the wine; stir well to combine.
  • Add the 2 cans crushed tomatoes (can use 3 cans if you are freezing some sauce) and the drained diced tomatoes, stir and bring to a light boil; boil for 5-8 minutes then reduce heat to low.
  • Add in uncooked meatballs to the sauce (if you are adding the meatballs uncooked do not stir for 30 minutes or you may run the risk of them falling apart in the simmering sauce).
  • Simmer uncovered on low heat for about 3-5 hours (the longer you simmer uncovered the thicker and richer your sauce will be so don't be afraid to simmer even 6 hours!) adding more salt if desired.
  • Skim off any fat that might gather on top of sauce.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate (with the meatballs in the sauce) a minimum of 1 day or up to 4 days before using.
  • Use as much as desired then freeze the rest for another meal, just reheat the sauce on top of the stove or heat in microwave (this will freeze well for up to 6 months).
  • Note: if desired, you can bake the meatballs in the oven before adding to the sauce.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef (do not exceed over 70 Percent fat)
1 egg
garlic powder
oregano
salt or pepper
1/2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs (my favorite is Progresso)
water
2 lbs pasta sauce

Steps:

  • Put ground beef in large bowl,
  • Add the egg and the bread crumbs.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, salt/pepper, there is no measuring for that, just sprinkle.
  • Mix meat mixture with clean hands.
  • Add about 1/4 cup water. The meat mixture will be soft.
  • In a large cooking pot, put sauce, start heating up the sauce, have it set on medium.
  • Now take about 2 tablespoons of meat and gently roll in ball, gently put each meatball in the sauce, (yes it will be raw) do not fry the meat balls before the sauce).
  • Do this until all the meatballs are in the sauce, cook for 1- 3 hours max. The longer the better. Delish!

Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com

Time 50m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork will work well also)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or use enough to hold the meat together (no dry breadcrumbs? just soak 3 slices of bread in the 1/3 )
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
  • Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
  • After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
  • **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
