I made this with just pork and it turned out all right. It was better the second day. This review gets one star because of the lack of instructions.

I have the same trouble with all the recipes now. I've copied the instructions for you Elise. From 2 tablespoon olive oil down, is the recipe for the home made sauce. Everything above that is the meatballs.
Meatballs:
Combine all ingredients, (except the oil), in a large bowl until well-combined. Roll into 1+1/2 inch balls.
Heat the oil in a large sautee pan or dutch oven over medium heat and add the meatballs. Let them fry, cooking on each side until lightly browned, but not cooked all the way through. About 10-15 minutes.
Add the meatballs to tomato sauce and let them simmer on medium low heat for about 45 minutes.
Home made Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the onions and garlic until they’re softened- about 15 minutes.
Add the pureed tomatoes and juice, the bay leaf, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 40 minutes (with the meatballs in there!)
Remove the bay leaf and parsley prior to serving, and mix in the basil. Serve, and enjoy!
You can substitute the veal and/or pork with ground beef or ground turkey if preferred.
