Recipes

1 lb of ground meat (chicken, turkey or beef will work)

1 egg

1 slice of bread made into breadcrumbs

2T shredded Parmesan

1T Basil

1t salt

1 clove garlic crushed

Mix together everything but the meat. Work through meat with hands and form into 1″ - 1.5″ balls. Brown in olive oil over medium heat. (You are not cooking them, just browning the outside)

Transfer them into a pot with:

2 can tomato sauce

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cups broth (veggie or meat)

Cook over low heat for 2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

2 Links chicken sausage ( I used a Parmesan/basil one)

1/2 cup onion sliced thinly

1 medium zucchini sliced

1/2 cup sliced red pepper

5-6 mushrooms sliced

1 cup canned tomato sauce

2 garlic cloves

2. Add onion, zuchini, mushrooms and peppers
3. Cook until onion and zucchini is translucent
4. Add garlic and tomato sauce - cook until slightly thickened
5. Serve over pasta
