Directions: |
Directions:Heat oil over medium-high heat in large stock pot. Sauté carrot, celery and onion until softened. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add tomato paste and sauté until paste has turned a brownish red. Add pasta sauce, crushed tomatoes, and all dried spices and stir to mix in. Put heat to low and make meatballs.
Mix beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, dried spices, salt, pepper and one egg in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed. Add the second egg if mixture is too tight or add more breadcrumbs if mixture is too loose. Pinch and roll into golf ball sized pieces and place on plate. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the meatballs on all sides. Add to sauce and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom.
Serve over spaghetti topped with grated Parmesan cheese and garlic bread.

Notes: Named for Bonnie Howard’s grandfather, Ed Howard, as this was one of 4 things he could cook! As with all good family recipes, you can make all sorts of variations like adding mushrooms or ground veal. Our favorite is to add pre-made sweet Italian sausage links, cut in half, browned like the meatballs, to let simmer in the sauce with the meatballs.
