MOM'S IRISH-AMERICAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH SAUSAGE AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Brown all but 3 of the sausages in olive oil in a big pot on the stove.
• Turn down heat and add onion and garlic. Saute till just translucent.
• Add tomato puree, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar. Season with oregano, basil, parsley, and salt and pepper. Let simmer.
• Meanwhile, into a large bowl, squeeze the remaining 3 sausages out of their casings.
• Add mince, breadcrumbs, herbs and salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands (rubber gloves work great!). Use the palms of your hands to firmly form golf ball-sized meatballs (I got 12 out of this mixture).
• When the sauce is piping hot, and the sausages are cooked through (about 40 minutes), throw meatballs into the sauce and let cook for another 30-40 minutes.
• If you want to let the sauce and sausages simmer longer, feel free. But don't throw in the meatballs till 40 minutes before the end.
• Serve over spaghetti or use to make lasagna.
