sugar to taste
Meatballs

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Add tomatoes to a bowl and crush them with your hand.
Heat olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat, then add in garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes, then add in tomatoes, tomato paste and seasonings. Bring to a low simmer while you prep the meatballs.
Combine all meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Roll into spheres, about 1½ inches in diameter.
Taste and adjust the sauce for seasonings, and add sugar if necessary. Place the meatballs in a baking dish and smother with sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30-45 minutes, until the meatballs measure 165°F with an instant read thermometer.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
