For the Sauce:
In a large saucepan, heat oil till very hot. Add meats and cook till browned. Add onion and garlic and continue cooking on medium heat till onions have softened--being careful not to burn the garlic.
Lower the heat and add the wine. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and the water--bring to a simmer stirring occasionally. season with fresh ground pepper and gray salt. Add the basil and place the cover on the pan slightly ajar. Continue cooking---do not let the sauce boil. Simmer slowly. If you feel the sauce is too thick for you; add a little water. You can control the consistency
For the Meatballs:
Squeeze excess liquid from bread--combine with other ingredients in a bowl and mix with hands. If the mixture seems too wet, add some seasoned bread crumbs. (the mixture should be VERY moist---but not dripping wet) Form into medium size balls. Heat a large frying pan, add the evoo to cover the bottom, and when the oil is very hot, begin frying the balls---about 4-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels for a few minutes then add to the sauce. Stir well to combine all the meats, and continue cooking very slowly for a few hours
To Serve:
Cook your favorite pasta, al dante, of course. Drain. Place pasta in a large bowl, and cover with the desired amount of sauce. Remove meats to a serving platter and serve along side of the pasta. Top with grated cheese. |

Notes: This sauce is a staple in our home. We have "Macaroni" on Sunday--the sauce and the meat is great in sandwiches during the week.
Fresh Italian bread is a "no brainer" with this meal--and to us---it just tastes like Mother made it. We have a delicious wine with dinner--it enhances the flavor of the sauce.
