Watching this video gave me chills. Almost identical to how my family makes our sauce. And the macaroni in one bowl, not too much sauce, with the meat in another is so spot on. So glad I found your channel. Too many Italian-Americans on the internet think they’re Tony Soprano or are role playing some caricature of what it is to be Italian. So glad to finally see someone representing our culture so well.
Today is Monday, and i have to say your channel is LEGIT. I made this recipe yesterday, and it was a hit. The whole family loved it. Easy and delicious. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try some more of your recipes.
Again thank you for sharing your families recipe. The back story of your grandparents was special. I will definitely use this later in the year. My wife and I are in Arizona and it’s pretty hot here to cook that long, but I again can’t wait to try your recipe.
Chris, so much passion, heart and soul went into this sauce and such an honor to your grand parents!!! Awesome, awesome video and recipe!!! Bob and I really enjoyed watching and will try making this Sunday sauce!! 😊
How touching and what treasured memories in your heart. God Bless your grandpatents and your patents. Tjank you for caringvand for sharing I love your recipe and ots originality and origin. The Sunday sauce is amazing.
Love seeing how different ppl make their Sunday gravy. I do a lot of the same you do, but I’ve never thought to incorporate a cheap steak so I might add that to my recipe next time. One thing I cannot believe that you didn’t do though is deglaze the meat with red wine after frying. Red wine is a MUST for me and I always use Rigatoni ! Looks delicious sir 🫡
Gravy is for Thanksgiving! So true. In my family we use sauce. Also you’re the first person since my grandmother to know the balls go in raw. I’ve been doing it for years because of her. No one else knows this severer. Until you! Love the video. Happy I found your channel.
After making my Italian Mother in law’s sauce for years, I tried your sauce. My family didn’t know I made a new recipe. They hands down said “Mom, this is the best sauce you’ve ever made.” They are now asking me to make sauce like I did it last time. Thank you!
Aloha from Hawaii! This recipe looks amazing and I am going to make it soon. I love how you share your connection to the food and your family. Liked and subscribed
Thanks for sharing! So many commonalities to my Italian family. I remember them using sausage links and grandma was so proud of the sausage. Like you say, the star of the show. I can smell that sauce in my mind. Take care!
Such a great job with the sauce, it looks simple and delicious. Beautifully done homage to your grandparents. Thank you for sharing your family recipies.
Your grandparents are proud of you man. Thanks for sharing. Again, I can't wait to give this or the gravy a try. Looks super tasty. Authentic old school... no bs. Subscribed.
Looks like my family’s Sauce. Grandparents came toAmerica in the early 1900’s from Celano. You don’t salt the water before boiling because it will take the water longer to boil. Salt raises the boiling point of water.
Thanks again I’ve been told the salt added when boiling avoids pitting your pan but didn’t say it because I’m not sure if that’s true or a fallacy Thanks again, we appreciate you!
Luv these recipes bc they are not difficult and reminds me on those weekend sauces and pasta I can smell from my bedroom and Mom is making all kinds of sides like homemade bread and the meats in the sauce. Thank you for your tasty recipes looks so yummy.
So many amazing tips in here. I'm going to try this over Christmas with my son. This looks like my mom's mother's sauce, your "gravy" (we called it sauce) is more like my father's mother's sauce. And I agree with whoever says this is one of the most underrated channels on TH-cam; this is real deal!
I love this. I remember watching my grandmother cook, she was the first born in the USA. I miss her food. I am going to have to try this. My introduction to Italian family cooking was from my wife and her Staten Island Sicilian Italian heritage. Their gravy is like your American gravy video. Their sauce is more like a marinara.
Another great video/recipe! God bless your grandparents! Thank you for sharing part of your family's history. Such a familiar story. My maternal grandparents were Domenico and Giselda DiSanto. Nana spoke very broken English and was illiterate so she never became a US citizen. She couldn't pass the test, but my grandfather did learn English, became a citizen and owned a car. We too, served it with the meat separate, but also had a separate bowl of sauce for those (like me) that wanted more sauce on top.
Love the recipes you do, although we can’t get a lot of the ingredients in the UK. I’m making Sunday Sauce/Gravy this Sunday so I’m very excited!! Keep up the good work!!!
Watched two videos so far and I’m already hooked. I can’t get enough. I haven’t seen them all so excuse my ignorance but I would love to see your take on homemade pasta. Specifically lasagna noodles. Thanks and keep the videos coming can’t wait to see the new ones and I’m going to binge watch all the rest of them.
Nice video. Growing up Italian we also carry on the family’s recipes carried down from generations. I remember growing up in New York and going to friends houses and having dinner and each family had there own type of sauce. Each one different but great. Also, the reason you don’t put salt in the water before boiling is because it will fall straight to the bottom and leave salt deposits on the bottom of the pot before dissolving. My grandmother taught us that! Grazie per aver condiviso.
I'm not italian but my partner is. And hey, i've loved italian food ever since i was a bambino. That said there's a difference between Italian American food and Italian food you get in italy, a big difference. One thing i like about this guy is he' so unopretentious, he add a bit of this or a bit of that and if you don't like that, omit that. Really this doesn't require a genius of an Einstein ro a grad degree from Yale. This is simple and delicious unpretentious italian American cooking at it's best.
You can post a Sunday Sauce/Gravy every week and I'll be here to watch! I do like the differences from the "American Gravy" versions and might try this method one day.
This is exactly how my mother used to make sauce (sugo, we called it). Gravy (here in Australia) doesn't mean a tomato pasta sauce but rather a brown sauce which is used on roasted meats and vegetables. Very odd hearing it called gravy here. Keep cooking great recipes, very enjoyable to watch. 😊
Great background story - thanks for sharing. Another great video. Question: Is slicing the garlic with a razor (Paulie of the Goodfellows) or adding sugar to the sauce (Clemenza of The Godfather) more northern style Italian cooking? Or just Hollywood being Hollywood?
No, nothing to do with the region. Unfortunately, the sugar is added by some folks, mainly American Italians here. The razor and garlic thing is somewhat of a real scenario. Not so much with a razor, but slicing real thin with a knife. Not too common though Good to hear from you Tex! Thanks for your continued support
I was so exited to see this recipe, as it is the closest to my family's (suburban Boston), including using the Pastene. No wine, no paste, but not sure about the sugar. Both families, my husbands and mine, used just sausages and meatballs, which were were thrown raw into the sauce. Have you any experience on putting raw sausages into the boiling sauce? I subscribed after seeing this video, and can't wait to see what you cook next.
It always shocks me when I see Italian American recipes with lots of chipped garlic. So refreshing to see a recipe that uses garlic the traditional way. Why do people put so much chopped garlic in their food? Like, Spanish Portuguese food uses garlic like that but they have completely different flavour combos to Southern Italian food so it works.
Great video. I'd like to try one of your recipes, but not sure which to try first?? Sauce, or Gravy?? I'm new to cooking Italian so not sure. Can you recommend?
Absolutely, and welcome aboard! Glad to help you. Go with the sauce. It’s easier with less ingredients and very delicious. You’ll be very happy with your results Thank you!. Let me know!
I was waiting for a live broadcast video 🤦♀️! Brain fart ! I started quite a " stir " about sauce or gravy ! I hope it earned you some subscribers! I love the same olive oil. I used to smash the garlic, I'm sooo glad you said no paste. Great video and tribute to Noni and nonu . I pretty much do the same, only I dared not stir it with anything other than a wooden spoon 😮 ! Oops you just said it ! I started baking my meatballs instead of frying ( health issues) love the flavor of the browning of the meat .
Did your family have a dessert/snack that was like a honey donut? My grandmother came from Tuscany area and taught all the grandkids certain recipes non of us got all the recipes. My grandmother never wrote them down. Unfortunately non of the grandkids were taught the honey donut/pastry recipe. That’s the one recipe I wish she would have taught one of us.
@@nathanmiller2521 I’ll put it into the work mix. I will be doing some desserts coming into the holiday season so will definitely put a star next to it for you. Thanks again.
This is one of the most underrated cooking channels on TH-cam I love all the stuff you do!!

Looks great. My mom used same tomatoe sauce, kitchen ready, & berio oil! Only hing she did different was she added a little paste.
Yes, Pastene is definitely my go to. Very solid as far as consistency.

Thank you for the great recipe! One question I have is did you toss the garlic cloves back in the sauce after you added the meat?
No, but you certainly could. Thank you!

I'm curious, do you prefer this sauce or the gravy sauce you make with the white wine and butter?
I love them both, however, for some reason I find myself making the gravy more
Thanks so much!
