Tomato, Garlic and Parmesan Spaghetti Sauce W/Meatballs

A simple red sauce using tomato juice as it's base, adding garlic, Parmesan and meatballs and then simmered for hours. I often cheat and use precooked frozen Italian meatballs but if you are using your own, be sure to brown them in a skillet or in the oven before adding them to the sauce.
