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
