Meatballs and Sausage with Chianti Sauce

Sauce: Heat olive oil in dutch oven or lge fry pan with lid; add garlic& onion and saute until transparent; add tomato paste and smoosh it around until it's blended; add tomato sauce.

Before I add the whole tomatoes, I take the hard stem off.

Just grab it and rip it off each tomato, then hand crush each tomato before adding to the sauce mixture.

Add all your spices, bouillon cubes and wine.

Bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs.

Mama Mia!

Now that's my Irish way!

Meatballs: In lge bowl mix beef& pork with all the ingredients.

It'll be a bit mushy, but keep mixing, if it's still mushy add alittle more breadcrumbs.

Shape into meatballs.

In lge fry pan, add your sausage links, then to same pan add meatballs.

Flip sausage& meatballs as they brown, don't burn them.

When they look cooked, drain on paper towel.

Then add to your pot of sauce.

I hope I covered everything!

Good Luck I hope you enjoy.
