Directions: |
Directions:1. Add sausage to large pot; cook on medium heat to brown and extract fat. If desired you can add olive oil to pan, but I prefer to let the fat in the meat work for me. Turn to brown all sides; when done, remove to separate plate.
2. Add diced onions to pot there should be enough fat in the pot to work; if not add a little olive oil. When the onions have softened, add ground beef and stir to break up and brown.
3. Add garlic, herbs, salt and peppers; stir to incorporate. Add tomato paste and stir. Add red wine to paste can and set aside.
4. Add canned tomatoes. Pour the red wine from one empty can to another to everything out of the cans
too good to waste! Add mushrooms and sausage; cover and simmer.
5. Add meatballs into sauce gently.
6. Cook for about 3 4 hours. This batch will yield about 7 8 family portions. |

Notes: Jim & Marlene were visiting friends in Elmwood Park, and their Nonna made the pasta sauce. When Jim tasted it, he declared that it was just like Grandmas! Turns out both grandmas were from Bari! Marlene has modified this over the years to add a little Arrabiata to it. Makes enough for several portions to freeze.
