Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a small, heavy stockpot, heat the oil. When hot, add the onion, garlic and green pepper. Saute 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute another 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste (yes, the entire can), and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and simmer. Add spices.
  3. Brown half the ground beef (1 1/2 pounds) in a skillet, breaking it up into small chunks as it cooks. Drain thoroughly and add to sauce.
  4. Simmer 1-2 hours and make meatballs.
  5. Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Roll up your sleeves, wash your hands well, and mix thoroughly. (I loved this part when I was a kid.) Form into meatballs (I make mine about 1/2 )
  6. Put meatballs in skillet and cook over medium heat, turning as they brown.
  7. Serve with pasta and sauce, and lots of Parmesan cheese.
  8. The leftover sauce and meat balls can be frozen for another pasta dinner, or refrigerated and made into delicious meatball sub sandwiches the next day.
