- Saute the garlic and onions until transparent. Add in the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 more minutes or until the aroma starts come out.
- Add the tomatoes and the tomato paste and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and add in the white wine (or broth), herbs, seasonings, bouillon, and sugar. Simmer at least a half hour adjusting for taste.
- The Meatballs
- Combine all the ingredients and mix well being careful not to over mix.
- You can test flavor by frying a little of meat mixture before making the meatballs.
- Take a small portion of meat mixture and roll into balls. Don't mash too hard, but just enough to keep it's shape. (Over-handling makes meat tough)
- Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil.
- Place the meatballs in the hot oil and brown all sides.
- Place browned meatballs into an oven safe dish coated with marinara sauce.
- Spoon marinara sauce over the meatballs and sprinkle some mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees, or until juices run clear.
