Make the meatballs with ground meat with half Italian Sausage mixed in.
Saute’ (fry) some bacon, onions, & garlic.
Add into the frying pan with the bacon, onions and garlic some Tomato Paste, some Tomato Puree and some canned plum tomatoes. Crush the tomato’s and cook them down until they become a sauce. Add some liquor.. Just a bit.. Cointreau is nice.. Or Grand Marnier, or Van Der Hum which is made from tangerines if you can get it.
Cook the spaghetti. Add some sauce to it… not a lot.
In the pot lift it into a large ladle and wrap it around a large fork, the kind used to hold meat for slicing. Carefully remove it from the pot and plate it. Add sauce all around and add a few meatballs. It’s still spaghetti and meatballs but it’s kicked up a few notches. Plus the tomato paste and tomato puree add a richness to the sauce.
