I looked it up. It was gemelli. We used 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground Italian Sausage for the gravy.
Sauce
2 tbsp oil
4 slices onion
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp water
clove garlic
tomato puree
3/4 can water
1 tsp salt
pepper
3 tsp sugar
Meatballs
1 lb round sirloin
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tbsp grated Romano
1 egg
1 tbsp chopped parsley
clove garlic
1/4 tsp salt
pepper
1 tsp oil
Combine all the ingredients for meatballs except the breadcrumbs, and mix thoroughly. Add the breadcrumbs a little at a time. With moistened hands, shape the meat mixture into balls.
Put a small amount of oil in a skillet, heat, and saute meatballs, turning until they take on a tan color. Do not brown them. Remove and add to the spaghetti sauce at beginning of the simmering stage.
Brown the onions in oil and discard. Add the tomato paste and water, then stir. Add the tomato puree, water, crushed garlic and spices. Heat to boiling, then lower the flame, add the meatballs and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
haven’t had that in a LONG time :)
must have been good
