      I worked with a lady once who had immigrated to Texas from Italy. She was talking about making spaghetti for her family and I asked for her recipe. She said "It is from the old country. Is my secret family recipe. I cannot tell you and you wouldn't understand how to do it anyway." Nonna saying "I cannot tell you everything" reminds me of her.

    You are all so priceless !!! Nonno's story had me in stitches !! The sauce looks amazing! My own Nonna.... (for some reason we ended up calling her Nonnie - i think it just was easier to say when we were little) but she would sit me at the table with my own small bowl of her sauce and fresh bread to "test" it for the rest of the family. So good ! every time! Now i'm a Nonna to my own grandson - he's only a year old but i'm already having him "test" for the family........lol Love you all !!!

    I love hearing Nonno’s stories. My late husband decided to do some plastering in the kitchen many years ago. He didn’t put a plastic sheet up in the doorways. The sticky plaster dust went everywhere. I was so mad, I threw his tools out the back door! We were cleaning for days.
    Good news, I made Nonna’s tomato sauce and entered it in the Petrolia, Ontario fair, last month. I won first prize!! Thanks you guys❤️

    The ribs added the extra kick to the sauce and every ingredient made the sauce even more flavorful . I loved hearing how Nonno was trying make dinner for Nonna on her birthday when they first got married . What an endearing memory 😊

    I love watching these. My grandfather immigrated from Campofelice and though he spoke broken English and my grandmother was a great cook my Pap did the sauce. It was so much like this recipe. Brings back wonderful memories. Every Sunday all my Aunts, Uncles and cousins would gather after church to be together, eat his sauce and sip on his homemade wine. He'd pour us kids a glass of 7up and top it with a swig of dago red. Great memories. Thank you. You're a great cook and everything else!❤

    My kitchen disaster occurred in 2018. I had made a very large pot of chicken bone broth, and filled my sun tea jar for some storage, mason jars for the rest. I picked up the jar to move it and the bottom came completely off and hot broth spilled everywhere! I was absolutely stunned. My Dad was there that day and he jumped into action helping me clean everything up. Thank you Dad! I told him this made up for him knocking over a huge glass of ice water on my lap at a restaurant where were eating lunch, immediately after picking my son up from the airport who had come home on military leave. Gotta love family!

    I wish I could reach right through my screen and have some of Nonna's sauce. It looks so good. I worked at a restaurant. Very small kitchen. We used the great big jugs of salad dressing. Like 4 or so liter. I was filling a squeeze bottle and the hug jug smacked down on the counter and literally went everywhere. It exploded like a rocket. It was on the walls, the ceiling, floor everywhere. Place smelled like sun-dried tomatoe and oregano for days. Took 3 of us 2 hours to clean that up.

    I just discovered this channel. (Your algorithm is working for you! I've been watching home cooking channels?) But the sell was the grandparents' interactions. Nonna reminds me of my Hungarian mother & aunt & grandma. Nonno reminds me a little of my own dad though he was Scotts Irish, U. S. born. Together they remind me of my parents. I'm pretty sure this channel will just explode. Much love❤.

    Delicious sauce Nonna 😋❤ When my dad was in the army as a cook for 12 months in Italy many years ago, he thought he would cook some rice for the troops. He did exactly the same as Nonno, too much rice and not enough water! The rice started plopping up in the air and all over the floor 😂 He then quickly took the rice off the stove and cooked spaghetti for the troops which was a success thankfully 💪❤

    And I LOVE some of Nonna’s sayings, I CAN’T TELL YOU EVERYTHING.
    FORGET ABOUT IT. 🤣🤣❤️❤️
    Of course I LOVE all of Nonna’s recipes and literally save them all. I actually made Nonna’s meatloaf the other day and everybody absolutely LOVED it. In fact they wanted me to make it last week again. Looks like I’ll be making that this week AND the sauce.❤️

    My kitchen disaster was on an Easter many years ago, i wanted to help cut the ham after it was done with my mother andnsister in law while the rest of the family were outside playing and having a great time. So I start cutting the ham down and I was listening to my mama and sister talking and laughing and having fun, and i didn't realize that tge ham was slowly sliding to the edge of the table! Then yes the whole thing crashed to the floor and the ham smacked right down on the floor! Oh man i wanted to just die right away! My mama started cracking up laughing and we all died with laughter! I thought i ruined dinner, but no! Mama picked up the ham and cut of the surface that landed on the floor, cleaned it up, and reseasoned it! The whole family had no idea it happened, and it's been our little secret ever since! We still crack up about it every easter😂😂
