These meatballs and spaghetti sauce always get rave reviews when served to new friends and faces. It's not a difficult recipe, but it does take a few hours to make. It's totally worth it when your whole house is filled with the aroma of fresh tomato and spices! NOTE: The sauce is delicious even without the meatballs cooked in...

Steps:
- 1. Combine ALL meatball ingredients into a large bowl. Mix well. Roll into tightly packed balls, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Fry over medium heat until browned on all sides. Place aside on a plate or pan.
- 2. In a large pot or saucepan, sauté onion in olive oil until soft. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes longer.
- 3. Add parsley, bay leaves, basil, and oregano. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- 4. Add remaining ingredients and stir well, simmering for at least 30 minutes.
- 5. *If you are cooking meatballs* Carefully drop the browned meatballs into the sauce. Simmer for at least 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning on the bottom of the pot.
