Spaghetti with Meatballs

I had quite a few garden fresh tomatoes, so I decided I would make spaghetti sauce from scratch with homemade meatballs.  I just wish I had made extra sauce to freeze...on the bright side, we did have leftovers for later this week.

I followed a very good recipe from All Recipes.
There were a few minor changes I made which I indicate below.

Meatballs

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs   1 cup store bought bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley  2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 egg, beaten

Sauce

• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• (Also added 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 yellow pepper, 1/2 of a carrot and 1/2 of a roasted red pepper)
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes  10 garden fresh tomatoes (peeled and crushed)
  
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Don't forget to visit All Recipes for directions on how to bring this all together.
Thank you!
