Instructions
Make the Meatballs
- In a large bowl, measure in the beef, sausage, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and spices.
- Using your hands, knead the ingredients together until they are well combined and evenly dispersed.
- Using an ice cream scoop (or a cookie scoop if you'd like smaller meatballs), measure out the ingredients. Form into balls in the palms of your hand.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic clove as the oil heats, letting the garlic infuse the oil.
- Add the meatballs to the Dutch oven when the oil is hot.
- Brown the meatballs on all sides, flipping every so often with kitchen tongs.
Make the sauce
- When the meatballs have browned, pour in the tomato puree, water and paste.
- Add the seasonings -- oregano, basil, pepper, salt, red pepper -- and stir until combined.
- Cover the Dutch oven. Lower the heat and simmer for an hour.
- Serve warm over spaghetti (or the pasta of your choice) with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
