It's obviously pretty straightforward, but everyone's recipe differs. Mine differs every time I make it, depending on what I have in the kitchen!
Tomato Pasta Sauce
Sliced Onion
Garlic
Ripe Tomatoes
Tinned Tomatoes
Tomato Paste
Capsicum (Roasted and peeled, if you can be bothered)
Mixed Herbs (Today I used Basil, Parsley and Thyme)
Salt & Pepper
Tabasco
Worcestershire Sauce
Sweat the onions, then add everything else and simmer... Sometimes I puree it, sometimes I leave it pretty rustic.
Sauce, pureed.
Meat, balled.
Meatballs1kg Beef Mince
500g Pork Mince
Diced Onion
Chopped Chilli
Chopped Garlic
Chopped Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Sweat the onion, chilli and garlic slowly, then allow to cool before mixing into the meat and rest for half an hour. Shape into balls, about 50g/the size of a ping-pong ball. Seal the balls in hot oil, then pour over the tomato sauce and simmer gently for... a while.
Ideally, serve on top of spaghetti or linguini, garnish with finely chopped parsley and grated parmesan. Eat.
This batch wasn't bad, not fantastic. I like having capsicum in the sauce too, not really traditional (I don't think), but it adds a bit of extra depth.
