This was easily the best tomato sauce I’ve made, and my meatballs were so good too! My recipe was adapted from The Bear from the tv show on FX with some additions I had that needed used up before I go on holiday

Meatballs:
600g beef mince
300g pork mince
Parmesan
Pecorino Romano
Breadcrumbs
2 x eggs
A lot of parsley
Garlic powder
Dried Oregano
Salt
White pepper
Pan fried Onions and shallots

Sugo:
14 garlic cloves
Whole pack of fresh Basil
Guanciale (not much)
Olive oil (lots)

Cooked for about 30 mins on low

Add in like 4 fresh sweet tomatoes I had that needed used
Add 2 cans of san Marzano Italian tomatoes
1 can of water
A good splash of balsamic vinegar
Couple pinches of sugar to season

Cook down sauce while you fry (cast iron lots of olive oil) and shape the 50 meatballs I got out of this cook.

Garnish with a little fresh Parsley, olive oil & flaky salt
