Homemade Spaghetti Sauce & Meatballs image

Typical tomato-based spaghetti sauce, but it is sooo much better than prepared sauce, still very easy to make. The meatballs are the only time-consuming part and they need to simmer in the sauce all day to be exceptional. This recipe was given to me 10 years ago by my mother

The sauce was amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still delicious. The meatballs were a bit dry, but overall this recipe is a winner.
