Instructions
1. To make the Sauce: Saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium-low heat until onion is tender.
2. Add tomato sauce, tomato puree, parsley, basil, water, salt, and sugar.
3. Stir and lower heat to a slow simmer. This best if it's left to simmer for at least 2 hours.
4. To make the Meatballs: Preheat oven to 350.
5. Combine 1/4 cup of bread crumbs with milk and let soak for 10 minutes. Combine with all remaining ingredients and shape into balls.
6. Cook for 30 minutes and then add to sauce. If you want to cook them the whole way in the oven, cook for 40-45 minutes, depending on size.
