Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes (whole, crushed or chopped)
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 3 italian sausages, grilled and sliced
• 1 lb meatballs, cooked (use your favorite recipe)
• red wine, just a splash
• 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

Recipe

• 1 heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot.
• 2 add garlic and cook for a few minutes. do not let the garlic burn.
• 3 add tomatoes and tomato paste. cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously so that a relatively smooth consistence is reached.
• 4 add sausages and meatballs and stir until the meat is coated.
• 5 add a splash of red wine, then the sugar according to taste.
• 6 reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• 7 serve by ladling over cooked pasta.
• 8 tip: it's not in the movie, but a teaspoon each of basil and oregano is suggested.
• 9 tip 2: if you're using canned whole tomatoes, draining them and then crushing them by hand will result in a chunky sauce. canned crushed tomatoes will create a slightly thinner sauce, while canned chopped tomatoes will result in a thicker sauce.
