    Utensils Used
    | 1. Make meatballs first. | 2. Combine all meatball ingredients, adding enough Italian bread crumbs to allow the ground meat to stick together when formed into a ball. | 3. Form meatballs into size slightly smaller than Dunkin Donuts munchkins, or a little smaller than a golf ball. | 4. Set aside meatballs. | 5. Cover bottom of a large pot with a light coating of olive oil. | 6. Dice fresh garlic and add to pot, frying until golden (about 30 seconds), but do not burn. | 7. Add paste, puree, crushed tomatoes and water. | 8. Add spices to taste. Go easy on the red pepper flakes, as you can always add more later. | 9. Stir. Note: tomato sauce splatters if left unattended on the stove. | 10. When sauce begins to boil, lower the heat and place meatballs in one by one. | 11. Let cook for 15 minutes and then stir, being careful not to break apart meatballs. Thereafter, stir occasionally to prevent meatballs from sticking to the bottom of the pot. | 12. Cook over low heat for 2 1/2 hours. | 13. If sauce is too thick, add more water. | 14. If sauce is too spicy, add some sugar to balance out the spice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
