Your recipe is the only one closer to real Italian sauce. I start with a pork butt and brown it.
Add red chopped onion to take the bitterness out of the tomatoes. Add about five chopped cloves of fresh garlic. ( no garlic in a bottle) I only use San Marzano tomatoes.
3 cans of tomatoes which I give one zap in a blender. Fresh basil. Simmer for about three hours. Take out the pork butt and cut it up into slices. Never cook with sausage as it waters down the sauce. Cook the sausage separately. Adding the meatballs to the sauce soaks up too much of the sauce. Keep them on the side and add some sauce
This is how my grandmother who. me from Italy and mother both made their sauce.
