Meatballs

Combine all ingredients, (except the oil), in a large bowl until well-combined.

Heat the oil in a large sautee pan over medium heat and add the meatballs.

Let them fry, cooking on each side until lightly browned, but not cooked all the way through. About 10-15 minutes.

Add the meatballs to tomato sauce and let them simmer on medium low heat for about 45 minutes.

Homemade Sauce

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat.

Add the onions and garlic until theyre softened- about 15 minutes.

Add the pureed tomatoes and juice, the bay leaf, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 40 minutes (with the meatballs in there!)

Remove the bay leaf and parsley prior to serving, and mix in the basil.

Serve, and enjoy!
