Method

Step-by-step instructions

Gather all ingredients.

Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder and beaten egg in a large bowl. Mix well and form into 12 balls. Store, covered, in refrigerator until needed.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is soft and translucent, being careful not to brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, salt, sugar and bay leaf. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 90 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste, basil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add meatballs, cover, and simmer 30 minutes more.

Serve hot and enjoy!
