Add 2 teaspoons salt and tomato paste, stirring and cooking until the tomato pastes begins to turn dark in color and stick to the base of the pan. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add in 2, 28-ounce cans of Carmelina ‘e…San Marzano® Italian Organic Crushed Tomatoes in Puree, stirring to incorporate the fond that developed at the base of the pan. Add basil leaves, 1 teaspoon sugar, and stir.
  4. Carefully add meatballs to sauce, making sure they are almost entirely covered. Simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour until meatballs are thoroughly cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
