OMG this is awesome. I'm Italian and we did the same thing on Sundays. Always homemade sauce. We use pork instead of lamb. All delish!!! Love the Nana!!
The beauty of Italian cuisine and recipes is its diversity. There’s no right or wrong, just personal preference and taste. Viva la cucina Italiana! Ciao da Canada! 🇮🇹🇨🇦
My Nonna used Crisco if she didn't render her own lard . Now I use Crisco for everything, from my savory dishes to my pies, tarts, my cake icing, everything, but I'd like to start rendering my own too. ...... Crisco is the best other than homemade. This looks amazing. I'm going to follow your recipe and make sauce soon....I make my own, I have a large amount in the freezer, but sometimes you just wanna try someone elses. Grazie !
Finally..someone's willing to share their sauce recipe..ive been asking my Italian friends but they all say they were kicked out of the kitchen when their moms were cooking... kudos for you for sharing...thank you
Omg my mother-in-law make it almost the same the only difference is that we simmer it for 4/5 hours and we add also short ribs to the receipt. So delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us!!! Great video!
Came here for a delicious recipe and I stumbled upon this awesome memory that you guys have made for yourselves. So many generations gathered together sharing and enjoying each other...thank you for sharing. I will definitely make this for my family and be thinking of this upload and your family...food truly does/can connect us all together.
My grandmother is Italian and her sauce is very similar. Every time you walked into her home, it smelled Sooooo good!! I can’t wait to try this recipe.
I love Italian food I consider myself black Italian thanks for sharing although the food look amazing I will put a Twist to it no disrespect I'll let you know how it turned out God bless you the family and the recipe now you can sell the recipe at least get royalties from it
Thanks so much for having me so glad you had the idea to do this so the family will have this recipe and memories and traditions to share for the next generations💕
Love this! Grew up in an all Italian family and this is very close to our sauce and meatball recipe. We use pork instead of lamb and my mom always made bracioles with scrambled eggs and pepperoni in the middle but she didn't put them in the sauce! I am going to have to try them this way. Our roots originate from Campobasso. Love hearing Grandma's stories and we never called it gravy either! Thanks for sharing!
I'm amazed she gave up this recipe! I am going to try it soon. I'm so tired of trying to fix a jar sauce. Thank you so much for sharing this! I would love to see a wine and food pairing as well!
Thank you for sharing your family recipe. Your MIL and Grandma are so lovely. I found this video today because I had a pot of sauce and meatballs on because I had some leftover meatballs in the freezer I needed to use up. I was wondering if I could make my sauce more authentic, and I have to say, many of the techniques and ingredients you shared I already do. I tend to like my sauce a bit thicker so I use sauce in the can, but next time I make it, I'm going to try the whole peeled tomatoes and throw them in the Ninja. I haven't made braciole in years and I kind of miss it. I'm also going to throw braciole in the pot next time as well. I remember my MIL at the time, taught me to use a bit of stuffing and hard boiled egg inside the braciole. It really was delicious. I've been making Italian sauce & meatballs for over 34 years now (since I was 20.) My Italian sister-in- law (ex SIL now) taught me how to make pasta sauce and meatballs I've added my own spin over the years. I'm not Italian only married into an Italian family, but man, I love Italian dishes and love learning to cook them as authentic as possible.
@@JessicaGiffin was at grocery store Friday and grabbed everything mentioned in your video. Then called some family and friends to come over. Little late to respond but every body took home left overs. They were full and happy. Thanks again and keep your recipes coming.
I have been trying to find my step grandma Josephine Infarinato's sauce recipie. When I was only 8 or 10 when she used to cook for us, then we moved after the divorce and my mom could not remember her recipie. I remember at her Sunday dinners there was a big dish of sauce served over rigatoni and a seperate dish of meats and giant meatballs. This sounds so close to what I remember. I looked on census records from the 40's to find where she immigrated from but all it said was italy. I will try it and let you know.thank you
The Locatelli cheese is the best !!! I even cut it off and snack on it getting the big chunks at Costco. I love your mother in law and grandmother in law !! Soo adorable! For my grandsons l usually just buy the little publix meatballs and cook them in the sauce . 🤭l will try your 200 yr old recipe some time with them and see how it goes 😏 Thanks for the video it was priceless 😍
Yesss we all snack on the cheese too! My husband used to eat locatelli cheese sandwiches in elementary school 😂 definitely let me know what you think if you make it and thank you for your kind words 💜💜💜
I make a recipe very close to this one. I add pork to my meatballs though . And some other secret ingredients to my braciole. Beautiful sauce though very nice.
Chris!!!! I miss her so much! ♥️♥️ I went to dinner with my fiancé for my birthday on Monday to an Italian place by us and he asked why I didn’t add meat to my pasta and I said you NEVER mix meat and pasta! #itssauce
OMG Jessica, I just got choked up watching this. My Father made sauce similar to this every Saturday. Now I know why the meat was always seperate in a bowl. We never had lamb but meatballs, sausage and short ribs went into the pot.. Mine today is different but my family likes it.. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm Italian as well and ever since my husband and I went to Italy we are dying to have more authentic Italian food. I can't to make this. Any advice where I can find the cheese? I live in California and dont have a Publix. Thanks!
Awwwww loved this . I’ve been binge watching your channel and was so excited to find this . Can’t wait to try . I hope not to disappoint Chris . I’m not Italian but I do have an old recipe that one of my aunts had given me from her mother n law that’s super old and they call it gravy . 🤷🏻♀️ hmmmmm I wonder what could be the difference . I love to cook and I can just tell this recipe sounds pretty amazing. If you know the late Anthony Bourdain his gravy recipe is amazing also . Just thought I share . Now on to more binging 👍🏼❤️
YOUR SAUCE AND ALL THE MEATS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MY FAMILY SAUCE ! AND PRECORINO ROMANO IS THE BEST CHEESE ! DIS YOUR FAMILY EVER PUT HARD BOILED EGGS IN THE SAUCE ? WE. HAD TO SOMETIMES BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE FIFTY MEATBALLS WERE TEN BY THE TIME WE ATE ON SUNDAY AND THURSDAY SAUCE ! I STILL LOVE EGGS IN SAUCE !
الا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله 🍒اللهم صل وسلم وبارك عل نبينا محمد وال نبينا محمد وسلام عل المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين لعلها تكون نجاه من النار باذن الله تعالى 💖🍒
I love your video it's so informative but I am curious about why are you using Publix tomato products which is a store bought brand and not the San Marzano Tomatoes which is preferred as the best. You do make a point about using only the best Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese. That's why I'm confused if you are going with the best don't use Publix store brand which is not the best.
Jessica 2 questions 1. What is evoo and 2 . what is in the round box pouring on meatballs?? bread crumbs?? amazing how you forgot to mention what it is.
@ 12:59 : "you would never have meat in a pasta ?" reply from the 81yo grandmother: "NEVER EVER !" then they add alot of meatballs into the tomatosauce for the pasta.
The canning process dates back to the late 18th century in France when the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, concerned about keeping his armies fed, offered a cash prize to whoever could develop a reliable method of food preservation.
May I suggest upping the quality of the ingredients? The tomatoes, evoo, fresh bay leave etc. and in Campania it is referred as Ragu which is a sauce made with meat so Gravy. To me it makes it sounds more special.
I hope this is it! we have an old spaghetti sauce that's about that old in our family know one can remember. My granddad has dementia now! Not it, you have no Burgundy.
I am Italian and Observed that it’s not authentic. spaghetti does not have protein. Secondly I do not know which part of Italy the recipe was from as I hail from Umbria which is the middle maybe the recipe was tweaked along your downline but I mean no offence it became a little americanise along the way .We also cook polpette without onion. And just finished it with salsa. The salsa was too watery and too much added. I also have not heard in history that vegetable shortening was used for this recipe. Italian cuisine is always simple, minimum effort maximum effect. Come back to Italy and trace back the lost roots of your bis Nonna . Complimenti 🙏🏼Comunque.
My Mom would roll in her ashes if she knew I used whole tomatoes and didn't squish em by hand. Oddly enough it is getting harder to find whole canned tomatoes where I live.
Jessica, Let me tell you, I made all the meats, all the sauce and noodles like you did and my whole family loved it. Now for a 24 year old man I'm the best cook in my family. When asked where I learned how to cook Italian, LOL I told the family one of my lady friends who works nights showed me a thing or 2 about a thing or 2. You're a Dollface good Bye.
I like to picture my relatives from 200 years ago clapping at my decision to use the advances of humanity to my advantage and I urge you to do the same Gary! 😬
My family has a Swedish Meatball recipe that came to America just after the Mayflower. With your logic of thinking I guess I shouldn’t make it because of store bought bread crumbs, flour in a paper bag and ground beef from the chest freezer.
Canning has been around for about 200 years. While canning back then was done in an effort to find a reliable form of preservation, it now saves us the time of boiling and peeling all the tomatoes, and making tomato paste. If you want to do those things to make the sauce, go ahead, my dude. You could even go through the process of rendering your own lard, which has a similar fat content to shortening and try to use that instead of Crisco if that’s too “modern” and inaccurate for you as well. This recipe can still be 200 years old and accurate with canned tomatoes.
Grandma is pure gold!
enjoyed your video , it's full of love and appreciation , much thnx ty 4sharin... God bless
Just becuase of your grandmother, family love and yourself of course I'm def supporting the channel

Nothing beats italian food. You're the king of the hill in that area. Be proud of it

What's the twist my dude?
A lot of souther Italy and Sicilian recipes have African influence in some dishes. Pine nut, raisin inside pork braciole or meatballs
I appreciate this video! The recipe, the girls voice, slowly explained all, the family dialogue...Im Italian so...it was endeering!
THANK YOU so very much. This is amazing
Yum! Loved hearing where the recipe came from in central Italy & her traditions
💜💜

I cant believe that your family has been using a Ninja for 200 years to make this sauce!! ;)
LOL, I’m sure they would have used it 100 years ago if they could
There is all kinds of gorgeous in this video
YOUR SAUCE AND ALL THE MEATS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MY FAMILY SAUCE ! AND PRECORINO ROMANO IS THE BEST CHEESE ! DIS YOUR FAMILY EVER PUT HARD BOILED EGGS IN THE SAUCE ? WE.

You'd probably like to marry into any family. I heard the Manson family was accepting applications....
Thank you for a great receipy !
🙏🏼💃☮️❤️🩹🥳
I am going to make and freeze a bunch of batches... #quarantine2020
i did something off the wall ! I took a simple Spaghetti and Meatballs into some thing AWESOME! > I put fried okra on top of it

Jessica 2 questions 1. What is evoo and 2 . what is in the round box pouring on meatballs?? bread crumbs?? amazing how you forgot to mention what it is.
can I use lard and not crisco
What size cans?
Lovely video but quick question …Crisco was invented in America in 1911…what did this family use before ? ( Since the recipe is 200 years old!)
i was the publix cans for me, spongebob meme, "aiight, ima head out"
@ 12:59 : "you would never have meat in a pasta ?" reply from the 81yo grandmother: "NEVER EVER !"
then they add alot of meatballs into the tomatosauce for the pasta.
Biggest mistake people make is they don't cook the sauce. You have to let that stuff cook
What you really mean is AUTHENTIC AMERICAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE. Spaghetti as we know it today is an American dish, not Italian
They had canned tomatoes 200 years ago?? 😂
😭
The canning process dates back to the late 18th century in France when the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, concerned about keeping his armies fed, offered a cash prize to whoever could develop a reliable method of food preservation.
May I suggest upping the quality of the ingredients? The tomatoes, evoo, fresh bay leave etc. and in Campania it is referred as Ragu which is a sauce made with meat so Gravy. To me it makes it sounds more special.
Make your own recipe then?
🍝
I hope this is it! we have an old spaghetti sauce that's about that old in our family know one can remember. My granddad has dementia now! Not it, you have no Burgundy.
Eeek, two things I’ll never eat, Lion & Lamb!
My cholesterol just went through the ROOF

You would get everyone to fill up on the cheap pasta first, so the meat goes further.
My Mom would roll in her ashes if she knew I used whole tomatoes and didn't squish em by hand. Oddly enough it is getting harder to find whole canned tomatoes where I live.
Jessica,

All spaghetti sauce is savory..... did you mean hearty?
200yo recipe with crisco
I like to picture my relatives from 200 years ago clapping at my decision to use the advances of humanity to my advantage and I urge you to do the same Gary! 😬
No disrespect but isn’t from scratch means no cans......how can I make it from the tomatoes? and why the can? If I may ask.
U mentioned 200 yr old recipe... but i saw can goods...
My family has a Swedish Meatball recipe that came to America just after the Mayflower. With your logic of thinking I guess I shouldn’t make it because of store bought bread crumbs, flour in a paper bag and ground beef from the chest freezer.

This recipe can still be 200 years old and accurate with canned tomatoes.
Because in the cans the work is already prepared for you!!! Also since when are tomatoes in season all
Chef boyardee that's dirty word
Honey, Call your husbands grandmother (The Matriarch) something other than Chris/ Cris Please........Why do you call her Cris?
I still like Martin Scorsece's mother's recipe better...
CRISCO?= HELL NO
EVOO WTF?!
You guys are not fooling around
Idk about you but when I see someone write scratch in the bio then see a can of tomatoes I get pissed
MEAT balls are not even from Italian it's
America Italian is where meatballs come from
polpette negli spaghetti? in italia non esiste, mi sa che la tua ricetta è stereotipata. MEATBALLS IN PASTA IS ANARCHY!
Move aside "Clemenza" Granny has a better recipe!
But if its caned, not really! Sorry.
Not from scratch if youre using canned
200 years old using canned tomatoes? 🤔 Okay.... 🙄
Believe it or not in 200 years people developed more efficient ways to cook with tomatoes. You can take that eye roll elsewhere ✌️
So basically to make spaghetti and meatballs using this recipe be prepared to take out a loan or re-mortgage your house.
Stop talking so much it get boring waiting✌️
