Breadless Meatballs & Sauce

This was my first attempt at making pasta sauce and breadless meatballs.  And, it came out AMAZING!

First, add about 1/4 a cup of extra virgin olive oil to a large pot and then add about 3/4 - 1 cup of chopped onion and 5 TBSP garlic (we LOVE garlic so you can add less if you want).  Simmer.





Then I added 2 jars of tomatoes, one was plum tomatoes and one a regular jar (you could use 2 cans of whole tomatoes), about 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp organic honey, a bay leaf.  and cook for 1/2 to 2 hours on low heat.





Then begin preparing the meatballs.  I began the same way by adding about 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to a frying pan and adding in about 1/4 cup of onions and about 2-3 tbsp garlic. 




I added 2 omega 3 eggs, and 1 cup of grated cheese (like you put on pasta) to a bowl.

Then I added the contents of the frying pan and about 2 pounds of extra lean ground beef.  I also added salt, basil and oregano. 



Then I mixed it all up to a uniform consistency and formed balls.




Then I again added about 1 TBSP to the frying pan and fried the meatballs on all sides.




Then back to the sauce:  I added a can of tomato paste, dried basil (this was also from my garden), oregano, & pepper.  I also dumped in all the meatballs.


I then cooked on very low heat for several hours.  It needs at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better,  just keep the heat really low and keep stirring to not burn the bottom.
