Spaghetti Sauce

Took home my pound of hamburger from Pioneer Meats (grass fed) and pound of all natural pork links and made spaghetti sauce for Saturday night dinner. I had been working in the yard so I didn't want to spend a long time standing by the stove. Used some Volio olive oil to saute the onion and 4 cloves of garlic (chopped fine)for about 8 minutes. Chopped up the links and broke up the hamburger and cooked until nicely blended with onion mixture. 1 1/2 tsp dried basil & 1 1/2 tsp oregano mixed in. Then 1 small can of tomato paste, 2 cans stewed tomatoes (15 oz) & one 15 oz tomato sauce. Stir together until mixed well, cover with lid and allow to cook on very low heat for about 2 hrs. The flavors will blend. I used Pappardelle's tomato basil pasta.  I went back outside and continued playing in the dirt. When the sauce was ready and I must say there was hardly any oil floating on the top of the yummy mixture. Dished up and ate heartily with some grated parmesan on top.
