Check out this other great version of Sunday sauce: ua-cam.com/video/HLaCr1RL8j0/v-deo.html. It's a newer video and besides the sauce, it covers more info on tomato brands and varieties. Like what's the difference between plum, passata, crushed, paste, etc...
Question, I felt like my sauce on sunday, became almost very thick and not as smooth. Does the evaporationc contribute to it?
@@Will6721 Hey there! So it can be a few things. All brands of tomatoes will have slightly varying amounts of water in them. The heat of the stove and how ajar the lid is left open can greatly affect evaporation. Also, the longer it cooks the thicker it will get. If you find it is getting too thick, you could add a bit of water (maybe 4-8 ounces or so) and back off on the heat. Just keep the heat very low and the lid slightly cracked. Hope this helps!
Very nice. I've seen many Sunday Gravy recipes. I like yours quite a bit. Mine needs garlic & beef. But I thought the pork chops were a nice idea.
Nice sauce pot. What about using cast iron pot? Any issue with a tomato sauce long term simmer in cast iron?
@@adam1863 Use something non-reactive for long simmering acidic sauces. Heavy SS or enameled cast iron.
The old women, the nonas in my South Philly neighborhood taught this Irish girl to make gravy with fresh plum tomatoes from the roof top garden. Sundays from September through October was heaven in South Philly with aromas from everybodys gravy wafting through open screen doors and filling the street with a comfotable peace.
this is like poetry
I have a friend south philly . That maked sunday Gravy . Just like her people did in the old county . She only had to toss one pot way. You burn tomato gravy You wont get it outcof the pot.
That sounds like heaven and reminds me of the North End (little Italy) in Boston!
It doesnt seem like a good place to start dieting, but a really good place to live at. :]
I learned how to make the best gravy from Angie..17th n Mifflin.
I made this sauce today, went by the Italian butcher to get hot and sweet sausage and a bone in pork chop purchased tomatoes as noted and crushed by hand. Cooked all day stirring every 15 minutes as directed. Cued up a Goodfellas Italian Dinner playlist on Spotify poured a glass of red wine and got it done. It was well worth the effort absolutely delicious thanks for this recipe!
How is it possible that this channel hasn't blown up yet? Professional attitude and presentation, but without being overly "stuffy" or too "glossy", excellent editing, great recipes and of course amazing narration! You can tell that this is a real person doing real cooking. Excellent work, sir!
Thanks very much! It has always been my goal to be real and not fancy or pretentious. I promise to never be fake haha.
Had the same question after i found this channel and saw some of the videos having only a few thousand views. Maybe the algorythm doesnt like tasty food. :]
I kind of hope it doesn't blow up.....
It's blown up now! I looked up best food influencers and that's how I got here!!! Great job!!❤❤❤
He's cooking Italian recipes and doesn't use garlic but does use tomato paste. And you wonder why his channel isn't "blowing up"?
Love this story and love how when you talk about your childhood and your grandma’s cooking your whole face lights up!
Thanks! She was the "cook" for so many years and knew so much!
I followed this exactly--the pork chops and sausage tasted great. I cooked it all on lowest heat for 8 hours and it was GREAT! I never thought I could make sauce like this--thank you! Your videos are great because there's not any long narration beforehand--this makes them useful to have on an iPad in the kitchen.
"You gotta have the Pork"
"Ahh that's that's the flavor"
"Scotch." .... "Medium rare, huh? Hm, an aristocrat..." "3 small onions thats all I did"
Don't put too many onions in the Sauce lol
"two cans, two big cans"
Looks like great stuff. I am a German Protestant growing up in all Italian Catholic neighborhood. This reminds me of my childhood where grandma started her gravy on Friday evening. Us kids went house to house and grandma let us dip bread in the gravy till we weren't hungry for dinner. Great times
My ethnicity is Irish - my best friend growing up was Italian. I would love to go to her house on Sundays where her mom and aunt would be making gravy! It was the best ever!!! In their memory I am going to give the a try!! Thank you!!!
You ethnicity is American.🤦♂️
@@spanqueluv9er American is her nationality not ethnicity.
@@spanqueluv9er the only ethnic americans are native americans. We're a nation of immigrants.
@@davidminutella I was born IN the USA, and so was my mother and grandmother and great-grandmother and great-great grandmother too- I never immigrated from anywhere and neither did they. THERE are no "ethnic" Americans - humans first appeared and Evolved in Africa and spread from there. IF we follow YOUR logic - we are all Africans.
My wife's been blown away with my cooking since I found your channel. Everything I've tried from your channel has come out great. Did Sunday Gravy for the first time today and it came out amazing. Thanks man!
That's great to hear! Really glad you're enjoying the recipes.
Same here....lol
Ditto!
Facts, this channel has been a cheat code stg 😂
I’m a black man and I grow up with Italian friend every Sunday would have me over to eat, I also worked for a pizzeria and the owner would make all sorts of great dishes which I learned to make.
I had a talk today with my grandfather's last surviving sister. She's 90 her mother would make dinner for 0 people every Sunday. Like you growing up i went to my grandmother's house for 3 o'clock dinner soup to salad. it was beyond incredible. Here's to the good old days.
My granny was from Naples. We lived with her! She made pasta and meatballs Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. Sunday she would do a roast also. Pork , eye of the round. On Easter we would have braciola and homemade cheese ravioli.
You are super! - My new go to channel. Editing is perfect. Your manner , your humour, every little detail! Well done! Run for President.
San Marzano tomatoes are KEY every time...From the base of Mt. Vesuvius these gems come from, no other can touch their flavor...San Marzano tomatoes just rule, but not cheap...
Weird. Being from the U.K. I’d never even heard of them until I saw old mobster movies etc. I’ve never seen them in stores. They don’t even call for them in actual Italian recipes I read.
So fascinating. It’s interesting to note that tomatoes are native to South America and were cultivated for thousands of years by indigenous natives from one tiny wild type about the size of a grape tomato. Spanish colonizers brought them back to Europe and from there the people of so many European nations took the cultivation of the tomato even further. The same goes for potatoes and corn.. both native to South America and cultivated by the natives for millennia. Then introduced to Europe by the Spanish.
I'm an Englishman and I love your vids. I love the insight into Italian American cooking. It's so good
I'm from just south of Chicago but my father's family came from Avellino near Naples. He & my mother made a big pot of gravy like this each Sunday too. My dad called this his "blood transfusion". Typically, we would also have a roast chicken or beef roast & a big Italian salad. My mother would make some form of homemade pasta. The next day the leftover pasta was reheated (I always preferred it the 2nd day) & served with a sirloin steak. And, of course, family or friends would come by to enjoy this with us. Every Sunday, growing up, this happened. I miss my parents & friends from those days, seated around our big round table, eating together. They're all gone now. Make these memories for your family now because the time goes by so fast.
I grew up in NJ. My grandmother was Sicilian and my mother was half-Sicilian and half-Calabrese. When I was a kid in the 80s, my whole family (aunts, uncles, and cousins) would go to my grandmother's apartment for dinner every Sunday. We all called the sauce "gravy" (though they rarely made a meat sauce). Someone was always pre-assigned to pick up the bread from Pechter's Bakery. I still make the standard Sunday dinner for my kids usually with meatballs (but on any day not just Sunday).
I'm sure your kids love it as much as mine do. No matter what I make I'd say this is their favorite.
Love watching different people make Sunday sauce. Every family does it a little bit different, but just a delicious meal in all its forms
Thanks man! I always love to try other family versions too.
If it ain't over sauced, then I ain't the boss. I love how you are so flexible in allowing your viewers to do what they want and make their creations according to THEIR tastes. It's their mixture, let them do what they want. That's why I am a happy subscriber.
Having grown up as an Italian American in
Brooklyn I love watching your shows! Going through your videos I’m reminded of all the recipes grandma used to make! Thank you!
My grandmother was from Sicily so it was called sugu in our house! They would use meatballs, unbelievably good!
I cannot believe this! This is the way my Sicilian grandmother taught me to make our family spaghetti sauce! She grew up in Rhode Island. My grandfather was Portuguese so it was a real culture mix. Myself, my cousins and my brother all make this sauce. It's about a 2 day process. We each have our own special twist to it. As well, we've always done both sweet and hot sausages. The joke was you never knew which you would get. At the table we'd bicker over sausages if someone got one they didn't like. As well, I have always carefully watched my stovetop sauce to avoid burning, and grieved when I had a burnt spot. So I have recently been experimenting with my crockpot.... no burnt bottom!! I can still adjust flavor as it cooks. But... I am limited by the size of the crockpot as far as the amount of sauce. I absolutely love your technique and recipes. Thank you so much for sharing! Best wishes!
Hey, I think it's common to make it this way amongst people who grew up in the Northeast. My Grandfather was Sicilian and did a lot of the cooking before he died. My Grandmother continued the traditions and this is how she made the sauce. So funny about the sausages! My brother and I would always be cutting them open to see which one it was too😂. The crockpot is great when you can't stir frequently, but I'm always making so much that I'd need to have 3 of them going. Thanks for the comment!
Been going down a rabbit hole this last week trying to catch up on your videos. I love the simplicity. I can do this!!! 😋
Tried this today, Tuesday, November 30th. Needless to say the entire family wants this at least weekly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, and talking through this step- by- step!
Really glad it was a hit!
I watch a lot of food channels on UA-cam. So glad I found yours, it is one of the best. I like your approach and simplicity. Greatly appreciated, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the compliment! There are a ton of great cooking channels on UA-cam. Appreciate you including me on that list!
Yes, simple video with a great explanation of each step, will definately try this!
I made Sunday gravy pretty much just as you said, except I added some fresh basil because I like it and I have a bunch of it growing in my garden. It came out really well. I cooked it for about 5 hours and the pork chops came out nice and tender. The sausages came out the same. I'm usually not a huge fan of really thick sauce, but the taste of this made it great. Thanks for all of your Italian recipes. I've made several of them and all came out well.
Well now I'ma have to whip some up for my friend, Ramonda! She's originally from Brooklyn, feeds me whenever I visit, and deserves some homemade gravy that she didn't have to make herself!
Thanque for all your beautiful, no nonsense recipes... I've only watched two of your videos as of posting this, but you've quickly become one of my favorite chefs.
I make this about once a month, I start at 7 or 8:00 in the morning and eat at 6 or 7:00 in the evening. I use plenty of basil, etc. from my garden, and my own home-canned San Marzanos and plenty of sweet peppers. Lots of pepper, fried garlic/sweet onions, and maybe a hot pepper depending on who I’m cooking for. Bone-in pork chops, beef shank, and my meatballs, which are amazing. I’m not an Italian (German/Dutch/‘Black Dutch’ and some Algonquin), but I sure wish I was when it comes to food. Beautiful sauce, beautiful weekly family meal. Great work!
That all sounds great. Thanks for the comment!
Just watching this video I could remember the smell of Nana's kitchen like it was yesterday, even though it's been over 60 years ago. Every Sunday we would drive in from Long Island to Nana's brownstone in Brooklyn . The aroma of that sauce started hitting your senses before you even got to the top of the stairway. As a child Sunday dinner was one of my finest memories. All the adults were speaking Italian, smoking Chesterfields like they were going out of style, and eagerly awaiting the Canasta game after dinner. Just watching you cook with that wonderful New York accent really took me down memory lane. And by the way, Thank you for not putting any spices in the sauce.
Thanks for sharing! You can't believe how many people criticize that I don't use spices in this sauce.
John I bet you started eating dinner right around 2 PM, there abouts, just after Sunday Mass. Ahh the memories!
@@monermccarthy7198 That's exactly right. Right around 2:00 pm we started with the pasta and then the meat course which my grandmother served with potatoes that were cooked along with the meat. And it went on from there. My fondest memory is the Italian hard candies that were in a cut glass candy dish followed by my Nana slipping me a quarter with a big grin on her face. She only spoke Italian, but love is the same in any language.
@@jerrera45 Thanks for sharing this, my parents left Long Island and settled us in Putnam County, when relatives came to visit, they thought they were going to the end of earth. I digress, but Sunday dinners were just like yours. I definitely know what you mean about getting a quarter. Back then , a quarter got you icecream sandwiches and a candy bar.
@@monermccarthy7198 Thank you for your reply. It seems we share the same values and memories. This has gotten me so nostalgic, guess what?... I'm making Sunday gravy tomorrow 👍
DEAREST SIR , I. USUALLY WATCH RECIPES FEATURING OLDER PEOPLE , I MADE YOUR SUNDAY GRAVY TONIGHT AND WOW !! YOU ARE SO YOUNG AND SO VERY GIFTED . THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH .
Thanks very much! So glad you enjoyed it.
That's how I grew up In Brooklyn, and there is nothing like that Italian twist bread. No Sunday dinner is complete without it.
Been watchin these from random people for years. This is the BEST series ever. Nails it. Everything I’ve ever been taught to perfection
Thanks a lot man! I didn't have my production skills down yet while making this series, but I'm glad you think it's legit. I hope to make a new series this year with better audio/video quality and add some variations on the recipes in this series.
When I was growing up, my grandmother would do something similar to this but she only made it for her own "special" occasion. But, instead of serving it with pasta, she would make polenta. Once the polenta was cooked, she would take the pot to a table covered with a large wooden board, dump the polenta into the middle of the board and spread it out. Then she would cover it with sauce. She would then pile the various meats in the middle of the polenta. Everyone sitting around the table would then eat their way to the pile of meat in the centre (no straight-line shortcuts!!). Whoever got to the meat first got their choice of whatever they wanted. She said that it was the way her mother served polenta when she was a little girl growing up in Italy! I would love to see how you make polenta.
Hey thanks for sharing your story. I've seen what you described in videos. My Grandmother and her whole family never made polenta so I didn't eat it growing up. I do make it now. In fact I made it recently for an beef stew recipe I published to my website. When I make polenta I use a lot of parmesan cheese and butter to finish. It takes a while to make creamy polenta properly. A good task to have the kids take care of and stir.
Hi Jim. As you mentioned, sauce or gravy…….lol! Grandma called it “gravy”, and we continue the name. She also used pork bones, sausage, meat balls and sometimes Braciole in her gravy. Your videos are great with choices or options to choose. I’m not only a home bread baker, but cook also and your recipes are spot on.
I love making a pot with all of them in at the same time. But it's been a while since I've done it. Thanks for liking the recipes!
There's nothing better than a chef who really knows what they're doing who doesn't boss other people around. Gives them latitude to make it their own recipe
Thank you very much!
My college kid, who lived in the dorm before COVID, found this while searching for food he could make with a microwave. Once he was home we made this! Awesome tasting and simple to follow. We’ve made twice and learned to triple the Sunday sauce so we can make the meatball recipe and so on. Thank you for posting! BTW, your kids are adorable!
Hey there! Thanks so much. Making way more sauce is imo the way to go. I'm happy you and your son enjoyed it and the other recipes in the series.
‘Vin! Don’t put too many onions in the sauce!’
Also, your editing is too good to have less than 1000 subs. I hit the button. Great content.
Haha yeah got to take it easy with the onions. Thanks for the sub!
''What are you talking about it's just 3 small onions.''
That my favorite movie, literally that was one of the only r rated movies my pops let me watch when I was a kid. That prison scene stuck to me, it's one of the many reasons why I love cooking. Especially when it takes time and appreciation. I'm Mexican American, but my love and passion for real Italian cooking is deep.
But I hear that he slices the garlic so thin with a razor that it melts in the pan. How can you argue with that?
@@steveo5611 Ray, your grammar is too good for anyone who would put too much onions in the sauce. But the pork, you gotta have the pork. The pork's the flavour.
Making this sauce again! It is the best sauce! Thank you for sharing. We used to have this Sunday Gravy every holiday at my in laws house. I asked my dear MIL for the recipe many times but she always refused. After 20 years of being married to my husband I am glad to say that despite my mother in laws less than gracious attitude I can now make my husband Sunday gravy at our house. Thanks again for sharing!!
I'm glad you like this recipe. I'm sorry she wouldn't share it with you. I like to share all my secrets but encourage everyone to make the recipe their own by adding a tweak or two. Thanks for the comment!
What a stingy, insecure MIL. I'm honored if I get asked for my recipes. And I always share.
I can't wait to make this Jim! I'm not Italian, but I like to call it GRAVY! BRAVISSIMO!!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. It was easy to follow for a guy who isnt exactly skilled in this type of cooking, and my results were spectacular. This will now be in my regular rotation.
Great to hear!
I've been fixing the Sopranos Sunday gravy,I found the recipe and everyone loves it.
Sweet sausages and lamb/beef meatballs over your favorite pasta..use real parmigiano cheese.
Salad and bread,call everyone to the table..
Howard is the greatest to ever grace a mic!!
I feel like. Was back home with my Mom, Dad and Grandmother. You brought back many memories.
My wife is a Pope (famous Italian cooking family) and this is really close to how she taught me to make sauce. The major difference is they add a LOT of oregano and some basil. They call it "browning" the sauce. They also up the salt some. I've tried both neck bones and pork chops, but I prefer bone in country ribs. It is amazing to have a pot of this going in the house, especially when it's chilly outside.
Thanks for sharing. I agree nothing beats a pot of sauce in the fall and winter.
I just discovered this series and absolutely LOVE IT!
I like how you walk the viewer through each step by step process and also show the process in it’s entirety. And how nothings carved in stone which relieves anxiety about trying to make a recipe perfectly. 👍🏻
Hello and welcome to the channel! I do try to stress that there are so many ways to go about making recipes and still produce great results. Appreciate the feedback!
@@SipandFeast one of the best, simplest yet at same time comprehensive videos I’ve seen for making Sunday Gravy. I particularly like how you do it as a Series.
Thanks I figured it was a series worth doing! I also made another 5 video series with meat sauce (ragu) and what you can make with that. ua-cam.com/play/PL0QyikC1o6v2IA68LB_Kp8AWShDOSyyjV.html
I found your channel this week and have been binge watching. I love how you explain and show all the ingredients and techniques. I’m super excited to start cooking your recipes!! They all look so delicious! I was born and raised in the mountain west with not a drop of Italian blood in my family tree and had never heard red sauce called gravy until a couple of years ago. I’ll probably try this one first.
Its beautiful you keep your traditions alive
Made your sauce and it was amazing, I didn't have pork chops but I had a beautiful osso bucco to use and one package of hot italian sausages, thank you again for this recipe and presentation!
I made this yesterday in my slow cooker, it was amazing!! I normally don’t eat sausage because it’s so chewy but cooked in this sauce, it was perfect!! This made a wonderful meal for my family 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's that time again! Sunday gravy baby! Love your recipe the best; super simple and absolutely delicious! I remember when you first came out with this channel not to long ago. I'm happy to see your growth to over 100k!
I very much appreciate it. Thanks for being here from the beginning.
I made this today. Just got done eating it actually. I used the same tomatoes in the can except I got the pureed ones because I dont like chunks and seeds in my sauce. And I put alot of garlic in it, onion, and basil. For meat I went fat overload and made 3lbs of meatballs & 12 sweet sausage (not a fan of the sausage so im giving it away) it was good just dont like sausage lol
This sauce is by far the best sauce I have ever tasted. 10/10. Seriously, if you have a sunday free and get the time please make this. Even just for a sphagetti, it's so good.
So far every recipe you have offered I've tried and my family has loved them! Thank you so much.
I just wanted to let you know, that based on seeing your tomato recommendations on a few of your videos I tried the Cento for the first time. Every other Friday, I make a Chicago style deep dish. Well, I used the last of my own canned tomatoes last month and Cento San Marzanos were on sale at my local grocer, so I bought them. I have to say, they worked very well on the pizza and were really quite delicious. So, thank you for the recommendation. I LOVE them!
Glad you like them. Not sure if you can find Sclafani, but those are great too and less expensive.
You know by the way he pronounces "sawce" and "lawng" that this guy has got it going on.
Great job!
Thank you! I lived in Minnesota for 3 years and my accent could stop a room😂
And you know he must love Chawclate and cawffee
My grandma from Italy lived in Pleasantville NY.. her sauce could make you cry. I stood at her side cooking. You seem like you had similar story
Yeah same thing. My Grandmother lived with us my whole life and had her own kitchen. I was down there often probably annoying her lol.
Absolutely reminds me of my Grandparents house on the weekends growing up. Sauce, pasta (rigatoni a lot of times), meatballs, Italian sausage, etc. Grandma made meatballs the night before and would cook the sauce all day long. Definitely subscribed. Thanks for posting.
Thanks very much and welcome to the channel!
That really looks delicious. You use the best ingredients and it really makes a difference. Thanks.
Just made this for myself, glad it took a while actually because I was bored out of my mind with this quarantine(I also used a t bone steak as weird as that sounds and it came out great!). Got enough portions to last me awhile too, perfect to sit down and watch goodfellas to!
That's great to hear! Any meat can be great in a long cooked sauce. Often I will save the bone from a big steak and use it in the sauce too. Glad you enjoyed it!
I finally made this and it was so delicious but I have a few tips.
1) Make sure you take the pork chop out early because I forgot and not only did the meat completely fall apart but so did the bones.
2) I cut the recipe in half thinking I would have a ton of sauce left over. I made his baked pasta (ziti) the next day and it took all of it. I definitely recommend making a large batch and freezing it.
This brings back wonderful memories of visiting my grandparents in Brooklyn and hearing my grandmother say we can eat the lasagne or baked ziti or ravioli as soon as the gravy is done.
Vinnie, Don't Put Too Many Onions In The Sauce!!
So what do you do with the sausage and pork?
Ive made this a dozen times over the last year or two. Just put the lid on todays batch. Ive tried a few different meats (always hot sausage) like pork chops, bacon, pork shoulder. I cant really tell much difference. This is the best sauce ever. I cut the recipe in half since its just the two of us but man even the hot sausage hoagies the next day are amazing. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love this site! I'm one of those people who live for the sauce! For me that's where all of the flavor is! (I can't wait to make the Braciole!) Just a couple of noodles of some sort thrown into a bowl of sauce and I am a happy camper! 😊
I found a recipe for Sunday sauce several years ago that’s made with short ribs and Italian sausage and I think it’s probably exactly like yours. I’d always made ‘spaghetti sauce’ with hamburger meat, and with a little sausage sometimes. The difference in the Sunday sauce was really amazing, now it’s hard to make it any other way.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's nice to have a few recipes to go to. I love the meat sauce (ragu) too. In fact I made a whole series on it and the dishes (stuffed shells, lasagna, etc..) to make with it. But for just typical Sunday sauce, this is my go to recipe.
@@SipandFeast I’ll have to check that series out. You’ve got a lot of great videos!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching them!
Wow, you make it almost exactly how I make it except I pulse carrots and celery with the onion. The carrots sweeten the sauce so you don’t need the sugar.
I always put carrots in mine too and people can never detect the exact nature of the “sweet” they’re tasting.
Made this today, Wednesday and it was fantastic. Even our cat loved it.
Great to hear!
Love your videos, I'm currently binging them at 4 am. Thanks for making great food and content!
~Yum!! And I LOVE your apron!! I started some Italian San Marzano tomato seeds a couple of weeks ago so hopefully they do well and I’ll drop some off to you this summer!!! :-)
Hi Elaina! Thanks I have a couple of aprons😀. Looking forward to those seedlings!
Sip and Feast ~Seedlings or the tomatoes?? Happy to bring you either (or both)!!
@@elaina2323 Whichever you want. This year I'm going to plant a few planters. Next year will be a bigger garden.
His voice 😍
Very nice video! I really enjoy your style, not over the top, not overly wordy. And most importantly, awesome recipes, thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and am happy you like the recipes🙏
I am Italian but our Sunday gravy had the sausage beef short ribs and country style pork ribs and garlic sliced so thin it melted into the sauce. My Ma cooked her sauce no less than 8hrs cause she said it was sacrilegious to cook it for less😂. Love that you are making the series it brings back great memories of family and laughter! Thank you
"Vinne was in charge of the tomato sauce. I felt he used too many onions, but it was still a good sauce."
He had this method for cutting the garlic with a razor blade
^*Vinnie, not Vinne you🤡🤦♂️
Mani-cotti? Phonetically, that’s too Americanized. Italians like my Nonna (Grandma) pronounced it Mani-gaut. It’s all good. I make my sauce/gravy pretty much the same way. We like lots of garlic. My Grandmother always fried the paste, too. The only thing seemingly missing besides red pepper flakes was the vino. Hahaha! TFS!
👍🏻🍅🍝🍷🇮🇹🇺🇸
I was trying to say it the correct way. If anything I get criticized for my harsh NY accent. In the manicotti video I made I talked about the manigaut/manicotti pronunciation. Always got to have the vino😄
In my house we have what I call Dago Sunday. I set out antipasti, olives, cheese, bread, salumi, wines, etc while I'm finishing cooking. Then early dinner is some version of Sunday Gravy with some pasta, a salad or veggie, and finished with Panna Cotta or some pastry like cannoli or pizzelle.
This guy makes sugo exactly the way I was taught by my Sicilian grandmother. It’s about the meat and especially the technique and not all that seasoning. Do not over sauce, extra sugo on the side. Perfecto!
Thanks! I can't tell you how many people say where's the seasoning. I think they are watching too much TikTok lol.
Thanks for showing everyone that Sunday sauce is not all that hard to make. Like you said, it's all about the meat!
I watch many UA-cam cooking videos. You and Pasquale have the best Italian channels. Like you, I've been cooking Italian food since I was around 9 yrs old (73 now). For many years, I was the main cook in my Fire Dept in North Jersey. So, I've fed many people over the years. Your cooking style and recipes are so similar to how I cook. I still learn from your tips.
I agree with almost all of your choices, especially your views on the different cans of tomatoes. I think Pastene ground tomatoes are similar to the Sclafani you use for some quick recipes (I use it right from the can for my pizza sauce). I like them both. I'm beginning to use the Italian bottles of passata that are everywhere now.
I may have missed it, but have you done a video on making the crepes for manicotti?
Thanks for liking the channel! Since you cooked for a large group I'm sure you got some great tips yourself. Since making this video, I've started using more Passata as well.
I made a manicotti video with the dried tubes, but hopefully, I'll make a video with homemade crepes this year. Truth be told, I normally just use the boxed manicotti.
Great, brings back memories of friends families cooking the Sunday meal. Nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I made Sunday gravy this past weekend and then made your baked ziti. It was a hit! Thanks, and keep those videos coming
Great to hear!
Oof Madon! I just made this and holy schnikes. Pure bliss and goodness. I halved the ingredients, and substituted the hot italian sausage with braciole. Use 3/4 pounds of flat steak for the braciole, and 6 sweet italian sausages. Browned my meat with a little oil and then started my onions. Deglazed with a red wine. Added two 28 oz San Marzano tomatoes; hand squeezed. Went with 1 onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Just let it go low and slow for 7 hours and oh my. Super easy and it blew everybodies mind away.
My first attempt at Sunday gravy was disastrous. The gravy was overly complex when it didn't have to be.
Little fresh basil and Parsley to finish.
Hey man! That's great to hear how well it turned of for you all! I really think simple is best with Sunday sauce/gravy. I believe many people make it complex because they are scared to write out a simple recipe with barely any ingredients. In my experience the best bet is to leave the spice cabinet alone and just let the meat flavor the good quality plum tomatoes.
great video...reminds me of what my mom did when i was growing up - she was from Napoli.....Italian food is the very best...
This is prepared, the same way I was taught, manja!!!
Never had an Italian-American Sunday dinner(We’re Mexican-American) my son loves Italian food definitely going to make this for him and the hubby. Thank you!!🫶🏼💕
WOW thank you so much for this video! I just happened to come across it and my Italian grandmother used to make a sauce just like this for us but I never got the recipe. I will have to try and recreate this now
Sadly i'm not Italian,but wish i were!, i love your yt it gets to almost like i am part of a family meal ,THANK YOU, and keep up the AWESOME work!
An Italian here, and I love your cooking.
My Mother (non Italian) would cook the gravy overnight on the stove with beef bones. Out of this world good!!!
Love your style, man. Thanks for sharing your recipes and your family. Hope to keep seeing new videos all the time!
You need to start teaching your son how to cook all of this good Italian food!!! We would love to see him and you in videos together teaching him so he will continue the tradition of cooking. I am one who loves extra sauce on my noodles!!!!
This might be my new favorite channel! I've gone back to watch from the beginning. Keep up the great videos!
I really appreciate it! Hopefully you can see an improvement.
I made the sauce in my crock pot then added the browned meat for the last hour or two. So easy and with the oven browned meatballs too.
So glad my Husband and I found your UA-cam Channel. We have learned much from you and look forward to adding your recipes to our lives.
Thanks for being very informative.
Great job!
Thanks very much! Glad you're both enjoying the channel.
The narration is the best part of the video !!
Every Sunday and Wednesday was sauce in our house with meatballs pork and homemade sausage thanks for bringing back great memories I still make it
I love this recipe and video. Never thought to remove the meat from the sauce just cut it up and kept it in the sauce.I like yr way.
Simple, easy, spot on. Exactly what I remember from my Grandmas and Mom and Aunt. Perfect!
Thank you man!
Morning Jim, I've enjoyed your videos and instruction for a number of years, and have recommended you to my son (Laguna Beach Fire) and grandson as they too love to cook. Today I'm making Sunday Sauce and decided to experiment. I'm using some leftover ground beef as well as sweet italian sausage (ground), as well as some spicy chicken sausage along with smoked ham hocks. I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks, John.
My husband and I just discovered your channel. Your sauce is very similar to what he makes. We are going to include pork chops going forward. Delicious!
I recently discovered your channel. I have been cooking for many years and have endeavored to make “Italian food” that was worthy of the name. I’ve been successful with this and that, but when I saw your recipes I had a “Eureka!” moment. I instantly knew that you would help me raise my game. My inaugural attempt was yesterday - Sunday - with this recipe. It was a smashing success. Thank you so much for your outstanding videos. I’m looking for many more excellent meals in the days to come.
So great to hear! Hope you enjoy the other recipes too.
