This is the spaghetti sauce and meatball receipe that my grandmother
makes that has been handed on down. (Grandma is from Northern Italy).
It's very easy to make (I use a food processor to chop & dice).


Ingredients:

Olive Oil
1 Large Onion	(chopped)
1 Bell Pepper	(chopped)
Whole Head of Garlic (minced)
3 or 4 bay leaves
Oregeno - about 2 table spoons
Basil - about 2 table spoons
Salt - about 2 table spoons
Sugar - about 2 table spoons
Tomato Paste - 2 12oz cans
Tomato Puree - 4 24oz cans
Whole Tomatoes - 2 24oz cans


Pour Olive Oil in the bottom of LARGE pot, enough to cover bottom (about
1/4 inch deep), add onions, garlic and bell pepper.  Lightly brown in
oil.  Add all tomato stuff, stir well, add all other ingredients, stir well.
add a couple cans of water (approx 24 oz's).  Let simmer at least 5
hours (the longer it cooks the better it is!)

Meatballs:

1 lb hamburger
4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp of oregeno
1 tsp of basil
1 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
1 cup of parmeasan cheese
