  7. Take about 1-2 tablespoons of meatball mixture and roll into balls until all are done.
  8. Put as many meatballs in the frying pan as possible.
  9. Brown on each side. (DO NOT COOK ALL THE WAY THROUGH. They will finish cooking in the sauce).

  23. Add all remaining ingredients except for the FRESH basil.

  25. Raise the heat to medium-low.
  26. Cover.
  27. Add FRESH basil half an hour before sauce is removed from the heat.
  28. Cook for 4-8 hours. (more is better!).
  29. If sauce starts bubbling, lower the heat.
  30. Keep doing taste tests to see if any more ingredients need to be added to your liking.
  31. When gravy is done, spoon out meatballs and pork chops and serve in a separate platter or large bowl. Enjoy gravy with your favorite pasta. (My selection would be Rigatoni, sprinkled with more romano cheese and a spoonful of ricotta cheese! Yummy!).
