1 (28 oz.) can whole tomatoes in juice
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp onion salt
1/4 salt
1 Tbsp. dried parsley

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, gently mix together all meatball ingredients. Form the meat mixture into balls about 2 inches in diameter. (Smaller than a golf ball.) Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brown meatballs turning gently with a spatula as they brown. Brown meatballs for about 7-8 minutes

While the meatballs are browning, place all of the sauce ingredients into a blender. Pulse or blend for about 30 seconds. Drain any grease from the meatballs and pour sauce in the skillet with the meatballs. Bring to a light boil; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered. Gently stir occasionally.

While sauce is simmering, cook ziti according to package directions and drain well. Add ziti to the skillet with the meatballs/sauce and stir gently. Spray a 13 X 9" casserole dish with nonstick spray and pour 1/2 of the ziti/meatball mixture into the dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over top. Carefully pour remaining ziti/meatball mixture over top of cheese. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over top and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
