Directions:
- Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in Dutch oven.
- Add 1/4 cup onions and saute until soft but not brown.
- Add both cans of tomato products and get the sauce hot and simmering, not boiling because you don't want to scorch it.
- In a large bowl, mix first 11 ingredients until blended. Over-mixing will toughen the meatballs.
- Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inches across.
- Drop them into the hot sauce, making sure they are covered. Don't stir too much because you don't want to break them up.
- Cover and simmer one hour.
- Serve over pasta of your choice (I like angel hair), garnish with some extra parmesan.
