    Directions

    1. * See recipe for Grandma's Italian Sausage In a large heavy pot brown the sausage over a medium heat. Remove and add in the short ribs. Brown the ribs.
    2. Remove. If necessary, add in a couple of Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil and brown the meatballs Or possibly you can brown them in the oven together with the sausage and ribs. Remove the meatballs and add in the garlic and tomato paste to the pan drippings. Cook till the drippings are absorbed. Adjust the tomato paste and drippings till they are well combined. (Add in extra tomato paste or possibly remove some of the drippings.) Add in the fresh tomatoes, onions, green pepper, parsley, sweet basil, oregano, red pepper and salt and freshly grnd black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Add in the sausage, ribs and meatballs. Reduce heat and simmer over a VERY LOW heat for two or possibly three hrs. Adjust seasonings. About 1/2 hour before cooking is finished add in sliced mushrooms, sugar and Parmesan cheese. This is a very rich spaghetti sauce and sooo delicious, you may never want toat any other spaghetti sauce again. If you're lucky sufficient to have a little sauce left over, it's great for pizza.
    3. MEATBALLS Combine the grnd beef, garlic, Large eggs, Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and Italian parsley. Form into meat balls. Fry them in the drippings from the sausage and ribs, or possibly if there aren't sufficient drippings, add in a little extra virgin olive oil, browning on all sides.
