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.
I'm from a Sicilian family and everything is the same, except we called it gravy. Brings back so many good memories.❤ You guys are so much fun to watch, and it's plain to see how much you love and respect one another, and have fun together! ❤ PS I was craving my homemade meatballs last night and made some at 2 in the morning. Cosi buono! 😋
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.
My family came here from Sicily in the early 1900’s. Giacomo and Mary, my grandparents. But they would never call it gravy because, my grandma said, Italians have so many different and wonderful sauces that to call it gravy was an American term that was meant for roasts. So this was our Sunday meat sauce and yes. Everything you put in brought back such vivid memories of 6 year old me standing on an old wooden stool, stirring the sauce with a wide wooden spoon while grandpa sang opera from La Traviata.
This is the best and correct way. It is mellow but that is important so you taste the tomato. Adding the basil at the end adds the sweetness like cooking on the farm. This is perfect and the best for what they could do coming to America. God bless you and your grandparents are proud for you and taught you well.
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!! 😊
Yay! Great to see a fellow Sicilian making Sunday sauce! I grew up in Chelsea, Mass. My grandparents came over from Sicily, and my Uncle owned a butcher shop on Prince St in the North End in Boston. My father made this sauce every Sunday!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, we’re actually from Salerno, I know I had accidentally said Sicily in the video but I need to edit that. We are from Salerno, which is on the Amalfi coast near Naples but, very close to Sicily lol
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND SUBBED, BRINGS ME TO MY CHILDHOOD. BOTH SETS OF MY GRANDPARENTS CAME OVER ON THE BOAT. MOTHERS SIDE FROM SICILY FATHERS FROM BARI. LOVE IT.
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!
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!
1:13 in the video, and I'm already taken back to when Nona was alive! Also, 2nd generation American Italian. I can't believe yours passed so close to each other! 😢 thank you for sharing💚🤍❤️
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.
I've done your Sunday gravy Italian American style twice.... It's fun to make can't wait to try this version. In the 80s I was in the Army stationed two years in northern Italy and want to find REAL authentic Italian recipes... The story of your grandparents certifies this as what I'm looking for😄👍
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.
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.
(Salt in rolling boil keeps the pot from pitting : the reasoning is to care for your utensil-salt and cold water sits on the bottom and pits the pan 😊). You came up on my feed this morning and so happy I watched it entirely! showing your family recipe is just what I needed to understand the slow cooking and flavors produced by a slow cook. Everything is a fast fast fast cook nowadays, and I knew there was a reason for the slow cook - I just hadn’t been interested in anyone before you to show me. Knowing the ingredient brand is very important, that is key to reproducing YOUR FAMILY flavors (great added info-thx) - I’m excited to watch the meatball presentation, and I’m excited to make some authentic family sauce and gravy “baby” Thank you so much chef
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!
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.
Awesome, thank you! Please check out our meatball videos. We have two of them on the channel. One is head-to-head baked versus fried versus in the sauce raw. I think you’ll enjoy them. Thanks again!
Grandparents are from Collecorvino, Italy. I still have my grandfathers original recipe for his sauce. Next to tomatoes in bold letters is “Hunts is best!” Thx for rekindling a memory!
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.
I'm trying this tonight! My store didn't have any of the pork chops (only center cut and you know those are way too dry), so I got some ribs and cut those up and put them in. Sometimes you gotta just use what you got.
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.
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.
Making this next weekend.. I made the meatballs and now they are the only ones I make.. everyone loves them. I'm sure this will be just as amazing.. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for teaching about cooking out the acidity! Yea, we served the meat and pasta in two separate bowls or dishes also. My dad would have broke off some good italian bread and dunked it in the sauce as my mom was getting ready to serve it. Good Job!
Love this. I have never fried my meatballs before,but I do add them 2 hours before the sauce is done. I don’t add any water,because it just has to be evaporated anyway. The only thing I do is add the grease to the pasta water,adds taste while not letting the pasta stick. Great video!
Dear Godfather, this is such a beautiful honor and celebration of your Grandparents through the cooking of their glorious Sicilian Sunday Sauce recipe. This truly comes from the heart, and I cannot thank you enough for sharing the magnificence of your family with the rest of the world. Although I am not Italian, I adore your spectacular culture and passion for life, love and family.
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
Never got to experience my Grandma's cooking. Closest I probably came was through my aunt Eleanor when she'd have my dad and us over for a dinner on Thursday night. Ty for sharing your memories and your experiences. I'll give it a try.
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.
Yummy!!! My local butcher sells a package of varied meats-sausage, pork with bones, beef steak-they call it “Ragu” meat. It makes the most delicious tomato sauce for pasta-I add my own homemade meatballs also.
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.
Our nana Lucia came thru Ellis and never learned English or drove. She was too busy cooking and having 13 kids. At 42 she became a naturalized citizen. An additional paper with names and DOBs had to be stapled on to record her kids. She lived a long happy life here :)
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.
Oh my goodness. This is so similar to my sauce. This Scottish-Irish WV girl learned in RI from a Portuguese girl that had Italian roots. Husbands grandfather was from Salerno also learned a few recipes from him. Cannot make it without the PASTENE. No sugar, geez. Where did that come from?
Hello Tennessee, can’t wait to get down there . One of our sons has a baseball tournament in pigeon Forge in August. Looking forward to checking it out. Enjoy the sauce and let me know how you like it! Thanks for your support.
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!!!
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.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. Just how I make my sauce! One thing to add , don’t salt your water until water is boiling or it puts your pot. 😊
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 🫡
The first thing my Gramma always did when cooking pasta, was remove a quarter to half a cup of the pasta water before draining it. It always went into the sauce. She told me it was this binding agent to help the sauce marry the pasta❣
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
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!
Thank you for sharing your heritage. Big difference between those who came over in the 40”s as opposed to those today. My dad was of German decent. I loved Italian food. Think my genes got mixed up. Rare if we had Italian food and if we did the sauce came out of a bottle. I hated brauswurst and cabbage. The only thing thing I would do different is I would crush the whole garlic. Not mince. I know, but I love garlic. Loved the big family get togethers from my Italian friends. Buon Appetito my friend.
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.
Yes, I’ve been there several times. They’re pretty good. I like Tuto Italiana in Hyde Park. They are awesome as well. Also, Aiellos on the South Shore. Thanks for the input!
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 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!
Why am I just seeing your channel??!! Love how you cook with your family traditions while not knocking the way anyone else does it👏🏾👏🏾.
Thanks, Chris!
Very flattering and honored to have you as a viewer.

@@leepeffers9331I was going to ask this because my father’s family is Sicilian and I identify with this❤
I like the no cut and remove garlic method and the no sugar (even though I use some). I will try.

Thank you, enjoy and let me know how you like it!
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 🫡
Watch my Sunday gravy video, I use wine in that.
This our traditional family sauce, so they never used wine.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your memories and the Beautiful Sauce/Gravy ❤
That’s what life’s about!
Thanks again Tammy!!!
Really, thank you! ❤
My pleasure ❤️
Awsome, thank you for your videos!
Thanks so much, enjoy!
The first thing my Gramma always did when cooking pasta, was remove a quarter to half a cup of the pasta water before draining it. It always went into the sauce. She told me it was this binding agent to help the sauce marry the pasta❣
Yes, I’ve seen that and do it myself in quite a few videos. Mainly sautéed pasta dishes it’s more common with.
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
Thank you I’ll try this recipe
Awesome, and thank you.
Let me know what you think!
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!
Also my grandsons and son in laws absolutely loved the ribs cooked in the sauce. First time I’ve ever had left over meatballs😂
Thanks so much, comments like these make it all worth while!
We are truly flattered!
Just subscribed! My mouth is watering--LOL!!!
Thank you so much, and welcome aboard!
Great tutorials. Thx.
Thank you!
I’m watching you right now and wow the memories ❤we never said pasta it was always macaroni or spaghetti
Yes, you are true old school!!
Made your sauce. You knocked it out the park.
No, you knocked it out of the park! Thanks so much, so happy you enjoyed it.
Good stuff!
Thanks again!!
I agree with everyone who is positive in a comment you need to have your own cookbook and giving your grandparents recipes
Thank you so much, that would be nice, but probably not in the cards lol
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 heard you don't add salt to the water until its boiling to prevent the salt from pitting your pan.
Yes, that is true.
I learned this from 2 Greedy Italians❤. It's cool to see another version. Lucky guy
Thanks so much, it is an honor to have you looking at the channel!
Thank you for sharing your heritage. Big difference between those who came over in the 40”s as opposed to those today. My dad was of German decent. I loved Italian food. Think my genes got mixed up. Rare if we had Italian food and if we did the sauce came out of a bottle. I hated brauswurst and cabbage. The only thing thing I would do different is I would crush the whole garlic. Not mince. I know, but I love garlic. Loved the big family get togethers from my Italian friends. Buon Appetito my friend.
Thank you so much for sharing, people like you make it all worthwhile! Enjoy and merry Christmas!
@ making your meatballs this weekend! Yummy.

Awesome, thanks so much and let me know how you enjoy them!
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.
Yes, you can absolutely put them in raw and I do so at times. Thanks so much for your support! Italian wedding soup coming up next!
Go to Pace in Saugus and get all the ingredients you need! We live in California now and miss it dearly!
Yes, I’ve been there several times. They’re pretty good. I like Tuto Italiana in Hyde Park. They are awesome as well. Also, Aiellos on the South Shore. Thanks for the input!
Looks amazing!
Thanks!
Just saw your channel. Perfecto!
Thank you Jennifer!
Welcome!
Hello from New Jersey!!
Hello Jersey!!
Thanks for your support ❤️
Absolutely mouthwatering.
Thanks Christine!
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!
I love the Cento San Marzano sweet delicious
Me too!
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. 😊
Thanks Chris!!
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!
Thanks brother, I will@@godfatherbbqitalian
Love this
Thank you, enjoy!
Wonderful example of '50s '60s Italian family sauce.
Thank you!
