Stir in the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes and passata/puree and mix well.
Add sugar, dried basil, Tabasco sauce and salt and stir to combine.
Simmer on low heat for 1½ hours then add the meatballs and continue to simmer for another hour.
This is more sauce than you'll need but I make this much and freeze what I don't use.
Meatballs
Preheat oven 200C/400F
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix with bare hands for best results
Wet hands and shape meatballs about the size of a golf ball and place on a baking sheet that's been covered with tin foil and sprayed with cooking oil.
Bake for about 15 minutes until the meatballs are nicely browned (they will continue to cook in the sauce)
Spaghetti
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the dried spaghetti and cook for 13 minutes until al dente. Drain.
Serve spaghetti with sauce and top with meatballs and shaved Parmesan cheese on top.
