Ingredients:

Serving

olive oil
1 lb bone in country-style spareribs or 1 lb pork neck bones
1 lb mild italian sausage
5 garlic cloves (i use 5)
1/2 cup tomato paste , less than
3 (14 1/2 oz) cans peeled whole tomatoes (or if you want use peeled fresh tomatoes from the garden)
salt and pepper
fresh basil leaf (you can buy it in the produce section)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup italian breadcrumbs
3 eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp chopped fresh italian parsley
salt and pepper

Directions:

SAUCE: Heat oil in large heavy pot (use a seasoned pot if you have one). Place the pork in the pot and brown until just about cooked. Transfer pork to plate. Do the same with the sausage and transfer to plate. Leave fat in pot. Add whole peeled garlic cloves cook until tender. Put garlic on plate with meat and stir in tomato paste until saucy . Chop up tomatoes leaving the tomato juice in the cans (I use my chopper) and add them to the pot.
Then add 1/2 of one can of the juice to the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the meats and garlic to the sauce and bring to a boil. Turn down to low and cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Leave the sauce on low and remove all the meat and garlic cloves.
Mix all ingredients for meatballs and shape into balls. Add to sauce turn up just a little higher than low and let cook the raw meatballs until they are done (1/2 hour) THATS IT!
Now this is an old recipe, but I have seen it in the sopranos cookbook and this is a bit different.
I used this sauce to make the ziti al forno from the sopranos cookbook (Ziti Al Forno (From the Sopranos Family Cookbook)) and it was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten, so I posted that too.
