I'll do it cause you are my extented familia.:wink: It's traditional Sicilian sauce or southern Italian. Basically more sweeter (sugar) than most people like; tomato paste, baking soda to lower the acid level, garlic, onion, basil, oregano, bay leaves (later removed).

The meat balls sure look good, are they all beef or a combo beef and pork? The sauce looks really smooth and good

Thanks for sharing.
The baking soda is a good idea I have never heard of. Thanks. My sauce is very similar except I add olive oil too. Did you actually put sugar in there?

You are probably right she was in her late 80's (back in the mid 70's), didn't speak a lick of english and her daughters did all the translation so that must be it. Thanks

Sounds great! I'll have to give that a try on our next noodle night.
