Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above.
    • Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
    • Wash and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
  2. Saute Garlic:

    • Heat olive oil in a deep sauté pan over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
  3. Combine Ingredients:

    • Once the garlic is golden, add the chopped tomatoes to the pan.
    • Pour in the water and stir in the tomato paste until well combined.
    • Sprinkle in the dried oregano and add the chili peppers for a hint of spice.
    • Season with salt according to your taste preferences.
  4. Simmer:

    • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
    • Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
    • The longer the sauce simmers, the thicker and more flavorful it will become.
  5. Add Meatballs:

    • About 15 minutes before the sauce is done simmering, add in the optional Swedish Meatballs.
    • Stir gently to incorporate the meatballs into the sauce and allow them to heat through.
  6. Serve:

    • Once the sauce is thickened to your liking and the meatballs are heated through, it’s ready to serve.
    • Ladle the delicious tomato sauce over freshly cooked spaghetti or your favorite pasta.
    • Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.

Tips:

  • For a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to puree the cooked tomatoes before adding the meatballs.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili peppers used.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer preservation.
