Did you think it wasn't going to appear this week. I have mentioned the recipe for this sauce before but I was looking back at old posts and realized I have never posted the recipe!
Here we go...

Heat olive oil in large pot. Add clove of garlic and chopped onions. Saute for 5 minutes. Add all meat. Cook over medium heat until browned. Meat does not need to be cooked through. Add tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add tomato paste to thicken, add 1 tbsp at a time as needed. add herbs, salt and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes.
