Mamma Mia, Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs! image

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...
