6 -8 links mild Italian sausage (for those in Australia, I have found Coles Tuscan sausages are the best for this recipe)
1 large onion, chopped finely
4 small garlic cloves, crushed
3 (400 g) cans tomato puree
1 (800 g) can crushed tomatoes
1 (400 g) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons sugar
400 g lean ground beef
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
dried oregano, to taste
dried basil, to taste
dried parsley, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

1
Brown all but 3 of the sausages in olive oil in a big pot on the stove.
2
Turn down heat and add onion and garlic. Saute till just translucent.
3
Add tomato puree, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar. Season with oregano, basil, parsley, and salt and pepper. Let simmer.
4
Meanwhile, into a large bowl, squeeze the remaining 3 sausages out of their casings.
5
Add mince, breadcrumbs, herbs and salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands (rubber gloves work great!). Use the palms of your hands to firmly form golf ball-sized meatballs (I got 12 out of this mixture).
6
When the sauce is piping hot, and the sausages are cooked through (about 40 minutes), throw meatballs into the sauce and let cook for another 30-40 minutes.
7
If you want to let the sauce and sausages simmer longer, feel free. But don't throw in the meatballs till 40 minutes before the end.
8
Serve over spaghetti or use to make lasagna.
