Directions

Sauce: Saute onions, pepper in oil until limp, then add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Sprinkle spices over onion mix and set to simmer for 1 more minute to bring out flavors. Add wine and set it reduce for a few minutes then add all other ingredients. Add meatballs after they are finished and set it simmer for at least an hour. Serve over Hot spaghetti with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Meatballs: Put slices of bread in bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 5 minutes then drain and squeeze out all water. Put all meats in a large bowl and add soaked bread and all other ingredients. Mix well but don’t overmix as you will make them tough. I form my meatballs with a scooper for uniform size and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with Pam. Bake meatballs in a 350*F oven until done. I turn and rotate them halfway to insure proper-browning all over. When finished drop them in your finished sauce.
