ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE 
Handful of salt pork, cubed
2 lg. cloves garlic
10 chicken pieces
1 lb. veal
1/2 lb. hot sausage
1/2 lb. sweet sausage
4 tomatoes, canned and peeled
2 cans tomato paste

Brown salt pork and garlic. Add chicken veal, and sausage. Cook on medium heat, covered until meat is half cooked. Stir often. IMPORTANT: Do not remove stock from meat. Add tomatoes, crushing with hands and remaining stems and excess skin. Cook 5-10 minutes. Add paste. Simmer with cover cracked, several hours. Remove meat when cooked, add meatballs. If sauce is too acid or salty you have too much salt pork, or try different tomatoes.

MEATBALLS:

1 lb. hamburger
Season to taste - garlic fresh or powder
Italian bread crumbs
1 egg for every lb. of hamburger
Oregano
Parsley
Grated cheese

Make into balls and cook in tomato sauce. Do not fry meatballs.
