This is the sauce for all the meat-lovers in your life. It has two kinds of meat. My favorite is the simple vegan marinara sauce. The marinara sauce is also the base for this meat-lovers pasta sauce with meatballs and sausage.
Blend the whole tomatoes in a blender and add to a large kettle. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, stir well to mix.
Add the browned Italian Sausage.
Simmer for 2 hours stirring occasionally
At the end of the first hour add the meatballs and simmer for the second hour.
At the end of two hours, increase the heat to bring the sauce to an almost boil. Add salt to taste and adjust acidity by adding up to 2 tbsp sugar. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the starchy pasta water to thin to a good consistency. Serve over the pasta of your choice.
Cut small slits in the side of the sausage links and place sausage in a frying pan with ¼ inch of water.
Bring water to boil and cook the sausage in boiling water until water has evaporated.
Once water is all evaporated, add 1 tsp oil to the pan and fry sausage until browned on all sides.
Add sausage to the tomato sauce.
Place ground hamburger in a bowl and add all of the other ingredients.
Mix well. Form meatballs with a cookie scoop or your hands moistened with a little water to keep the meat from sticking to your fingers.
Place the meatballs on a parchment covered cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes, then add to the sauce at the end of the first hour of cooking.
Makes about 18 meatballs
substitute 3 tbsp. dried Italian Seasoning for the fresh herbs in the tomato sauce. Or substitute fresh herbs for the dried Italian seasoning in the meatballs.
A serving includes 2 meatballs and 1 Italian sausage in addition to 1 cup of sauce.
