Steps

1. Sicilian sauce is a classic Italian dish that adds depth of flavor to any pasta dish. It's made with fresh tomatoes, herbs, garlic, and other aromatics. In this recipe, we'll make a family Sicilian sauce from scratch and meatballs to go with it. Here's how to do it:
3. Ingredients for the Sicilian sauce:
5. * 4 fresh tomatoes
6. * 3 cloves garlic
7. * 1 onion
8. * 2 tbsp olive oil
9. * 2 tbsp tomato paste
10. * 1 tsp dried oregano
11. * 1 tsp dried basil
12. * Salt and pepper to taste
13. * Fresh parsley for garnish
15. Instructions:
17. 1. Start by making the meatballs. Mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated cheese (such as Parmesan), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
18. 2. Form the mixture into round balls about the size of a golf ball.
19. 3. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
20. 4. Add the meatballs to the pan and cook until browned on all sides.
21. 5. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.
22. 6. Now make the Sicilian sauce. Cut the fresh tomatoes in half, remove the seeds, and squeeze out the juice into a bowl.
23. 7. In the same saucepan where you cooked the meatballs, add the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and onion until softened.
24. 8. Add the tomato paste and stir until well combined with the onion mixture.
25. 9. Pour in the tomato juice and stir to combine.
26. 10. Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
27. 11. Simmer the sauce for about 20 minutes or until thickened.
