Lunch: Garlic Lover's Meatballs and Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 12 meatballs. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown meatballs; drain.
For sauce, in a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, 2 cups water, tomato sauce and paste, parsley, cheese, basil, sugar and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; carefully add meatballs.
Simmer, covered, 3 hours to allow flavors to blend, stirring occasionally and adding additional water as necessary. If desired, serve with additional cheese and parsley.
