Italian Gravy

2 cans tomato paste
1 onion
1 clove garlic
olive oil
2 bay leaves
 
Fry onions and garlic in olive oil. 
Add tomato paste and fry together for about 5 minutes. 
Add about 1 quart of water. (You can always add more later.) 
Simmer in large pot for about 1/2 hour or so.

 Meatballs

1/2 pound lean pork
1 lb calf meat or beef. ( I prefer calf.  I never cooked beef.)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Italian cheese
some chopped garlic
chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
3 eggs
 
Mix together well and form into medium size balls.
Fry in pan on both sides. 
Add to gravy and cook together about 1 hour.
