Penne With Meatballs

Braeden's birthday dinner was his call and he decided on "meatballs." (Of course, I added sauce and pasta to complete the meal.)

Meatballs:

2 pounds of Ground Veal
2 beaten eggs
3/4 C Flavored Bread Crumbs
1/2 C Parmesan Cheese
1 T Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper

Squish it all together, shape into balls and broil on high to brown. Turn meatballs over and brown other side.



Sauce:

Saute garlic and onion in olive oil, than add
2 Cans Crushed Tomatoes
1 Can Tomato Sauce
1 small can Tomato Paste
1 T Italian seasoning
Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper
Pinch of Sugar

Add meatballs and simmer 4-6 hours in a crock pot or 3 hours on the stove on a low setting - stirring often.  Serve over your choice of pasta.



Footnote - I must thank Monique DiAuto, my friend on Long Island that taught me to make sauce and meatballs. The recipe was passed down from her husband's grandmother.
