Hi - Full blooded Paisana here ❤ I've made a ton of meatballs, myself but I learned a great tip from Food Network's Anne Burrell a few years ago. After she mixes her meat for meatballs, she always fries herself up a little "test patty" to make sure her seasoning is good before cooking the meatballs. You don't want to cook up everything. sit down to eat and discover your meatballs could have used a little more salt. Now I always - always - fry up a test patty to be sure. It's a good tip and a great practice. ❤
Reminds me of my moms cooking. Every Sunday she maker her gravy, meatballs and sauge. Before church I'll get a piece of Italian bread and spread the sauce over it. Mmmm good. Thanks for the memories.
I recently discovered this channel and I had to subscribe because of Nicole McLaughlin. I love her approach to cooking and I find her very likeable. Can’t wait to make her Meatballs & Sunday Gravy 😊 and many more of her recipes!
I grew up in Canada (grandparents born in Italy), and we made sauce the same way. I loved that smell on Sundays. Mom used button ribs sometimes, and pork hocks.
So delicious! My dad was Italian and my mom learned to make “Sunday gravy” from his grandmother. I do it the same way as they all did. I use pork chops or ribs, meatballs and I add a carrot instead of sugar. Same cans as you used too. Love it so much🙏🥰
My mother made this sauce and I have no way of replicating it. Yours is so like hers, 😮. She cooked hers for two days. It was definitely a grandma hug. ❤
For years I've made what I call my "Texalian Gravy" and people love it ... always! But followed your recipe to the letter and my son and I were slammed. Thank you for sharing and you're a wonderful host. Blessings
Thank you for sharing your Sunday recipe Grandma Harriet made the three meats the to the sauce I feel in love with it can't wait to try yours and my family loves sauce too thank you again 😃❤️
Ok, 1 hour till I'm sitting down enjoying. The sauce has been cooking for over 3.5 hrs. I've been busy and made plenty of meatballs for the next 3 meals or meatball subs. Anyway I'm loving this recipe, Thank You ❤
Found your video and was surprised to see you called your sauce, sugo! My Sicilian Grandma made sugo almost every Sunday, and now we make it for special occasions. The first time I learned the recipe, I was surprised that it was all tomato paste! But that explained the flavor. I didn't know anyone else made this type of sauce! I've seen many Italians make sauce on youtube, but never sugo and never tomato paste! Ours has less herbs, just onions, garlic, and beef bones (not pork) along with meatballs. And yes, Grandma had the white bread ready and it was common to sneak a meatball sandwich before lunch. P.S. We always had muddica (bread crumbs) to go on top. This was not optional.
Nice vid! Thank you for sharing your family recipe! Little trick, try sprinkling a little salt on the garlic. Helps make it sweat and prevents it from so getting so sticky.
That looks really, really good. The only thing I'd add is thyme, and I love sliced mushrooms (fresh, I'd sautéed them with the onion and garlic). Really good video I'm gonna try this.
Great recipe! We called it sauce not gravy. Mom would add red wine after she cooked the tomato paste. She added dried basil before cooking, then after it’s almost done, she added the fresh basil. For my meatballs I use a cheese grater n shred the onion. The onion is small n thin and almost disappears in the meatball.

I don’t eat beef or pork. So I used turkey Yes Turkey it came out great Meatballs I use ground Turkey and hot Italian sausage (ya it was just a little pork) I used ALL you ideas. My Family went NUTS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤❤😊
I’m actually interested in the sauce that your mom made using all tomato paste and water. Can you elaborate or post a video on that? I grew up in a southern suburb of Chicago, Chicago Heights, very Italian, and I loved their sauce, just have not been able to duplicate it! I know the ingredients only name tomato paste as the tomato factor, no others. I did make your sauce and loved it but am just curious how your mom’s is different from yours. I’m 77 and outlived my favorite Chicago Heights restaurants but still long for their sauces❣❣❣
Oh boy, this is my grandpas and mom's sauce. (And we also did the bread taste test with fresh Italian bread! Mmm Nothing like it.) The pork and meatballs is s far cry from using only American ground beef. Gramps came from Italy around 1900. It's impossible to find this authentic meat sauce in any restaurant unless it's a stand alone restaurant run by someone from ltaly.😊
Nicole and our family are meatballs always have two slices of white bread soaked in milk and then about a half a cup of warm water. Otherwise we make ours like you make yours.🍷❤🍷 I love your videos!!!!
I include red wine in my sauce instead of sugar. I think they both counteract the acidity of the tomatoes, but the wine just adds a little somethin, somethin. 😊
I bake my meatballs then throw into crockpot then then the crushed tomatoes ,stewed tomatoes, and I bake some sweet Italian sausage links put into the sauce. Let it go, 2 hours give a stir….oh….so good….the meat makes the sauce
Suggestion for you - put all onion and garlic in the food processor, take out and then put your bread in there and blitz as well. Put 1/4 cup of milk or less on that bread, it makes for a soft meatball! Make life easy for yourself!
My 'Sunday Sauce' starts in Sunday and ends on Wednesday or what we here in New England call 'Prince Spaghetti Day'....my recipe is very similar to yours.
@@nicolemclaughlin9844 Prince was a company that made pasta. My 10th grade geometry teacher (1968/69) always announced it Wednesday, Prince Spaghetti day. Yes I'm old....LOL If I remember correctly it was at one point an Ad campaign
@@bboyzgram I remember Prince Spaghetti Day too! It was part of an ad campaign. Don't remember when Wednesday's stopped being Prince Spaghetti Day. Thanks for the memories
My wife will eat spaghetti only to please me, But when I made yours, stand bad she LOVES it. Thank You. P.S. Your recipe was a lot of sauce. I froze enough for 3 more meals,
Best UA-cam cook out there. Warm, inviting and just down to earth! Big fan and can't wait to try my first Sunday sauce! ❤😊
wow, thank you!!
Her Sunday Sauce and Meatballs are delicious! I keep it in the freezer to feed instant cravings.😉
I agree!
total babe

I have waited forever to see someone make Sunday gravy with neckbones. I didn’t think that anyone else did outside of my family. Thank you.
I think maybe Laura Vitale uses neck bones in her Sunday sauce.
I’ve been making it with neck bones 25 years. You can’t beat the flavor.
Nicole is the best. I love her cooking and her personality ❤❤❤
100% Class Doll….. what an Angel ‼️
I’m Italian and I love this.
You’re my favorite UA-cam cook. You know how to make sauce and I appreciate that. All of your presentations are fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼
Nicole is the best, and I can’t wait to try this recipe. Always enjoy watching this channel. Keep the videos coming!
I tried it following her recipe.
OMG spaghetti and meatballs like ya never had!! So good! I highly recommend ❤
This young lady has the “gift” as a TV personality. Can’t teach it. And it does not hurt that she is easy on the eyes
Great video, thanks
I absolutely love your videos.....I was raised as a Jersey Italian second generation. You know I love Italian food!!!
How wonderful! Brought back so many memories of my nonna & mum. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
There is nothing better than Sunday sauce made by mom, this video made me smile and brought back delicious memories! 🍝🤗
Reminds me of my moms cooking. Every Sunday she maker her gravy, meatballs and sauge. Before church I'll get a piece of Italian bread and spread the sauce over it. Mmmm good. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you! Was having a bad day missing my mom, but this put a smile on my face.😊
Cooking in pajamas is the best!
I recently discovered this channel and I had to subscribe because of Nicole McLaughlin. I love her approach to cooking and I find her very likeable. Can’t wait to make her Meatballs & Sunday Gravy 😊 and many more of her recipes!
i think it’s silly when people won’t share their recipe! It’s a compliment if someone wants to make it. “sharing is caring” 😂
Absolutely. I feel complimented and I am happy to give my recipes to anyone who asks. 😋
You are definitely the best chef on UA-cam. Funny and down to earth!! I knew there had to be italian in there somewhere!! Lol❤
I’ve never made my meatballs with Italian sausage. Can’t wait to try this
Brilliant. I'm crying.❤
Watching this brings back so many memories for me. Dipping bread in the sauce is a tasty treat, we do it all the time.
That looks so good! The only addition that pot needs is some braciole.
I grew up in Canada (grandparents born in Italy), and we made sauce the same way. I loved that smell on Sundays. Mom used button ribs sometimes, and pork hocks.

Omg i love this sauce you made also i love how natural you are so down to earth thank you for your wonderful recipes i just discovered your channel
OMG, I’ve learned so much from you but this is seriously the best. You are such an awesome teacher ❤
My Mom was from Bari and pronounced it shugo -
Also added red wine
My mother made this sauce and I have no way of replicating it. Yours is so like hers, 😮. She cooked hers for two days. It was definitely a grandma hug. ❤
I Love cooking a sauce all day med low the longer the better more flavor Yessssss Indeed

Im wondering why you didn't add in any red wine to the sauce?
Looks great! Thanks for the tip on Leon Bridges!!

❤❤ I love Italian food ❤ ..
amazing recipe
Nicole you are hands down, my best go to chef for making a verity of food.
God bless and keep it coming.
Adding fresh chopped basil toward the end of the cooking is a necessity in my gravy.
❤ Yummy 😋! Looks delicious 😋! Gotta try this recipe
Looks delish! How about a chicken pot pie recipe of some sort next Nicole!
One of my favorites 😋
Oh boy, this is my grandpas and mom's sauce. (And we also did the bread taste test with fresh Italian bread! Mmm Nothing like it.) The pork and meatballs is s far cry from using only American ground beef. Gramps came from Italy around 1900.

Yummy .. 🙂👍🍷🍷

I love your videos!!!!
My dad's mom used to do that and I do that when I'm out of breadcrumbs! So yummy!
Yum 😋
Whats a good substitute for those mythical sausages you can only get in alabama?
I include red wine in my sauce instead of sugar. I think they both counteract the acidity of the tomatoes, but the wine just adds a little somethin, somethin. 😊
Looks delicious!
Love this!! ❤👏🏼
I’ll try this one 😊
let us know when you do! - Nicole
Looks yummy❤️
Nice!
I bake my meatballs then throw into crockpot then then the crushed tomatoes ,stewed tomatoes, and I bake some sweet Italian sausage links put into the sauce. Let it go, 2 hours give a stir….oh….so good….the meat makes the sauce
So what are you do with the other stuff the pork and sausage that you put in there? do you not eat that ?
Suggestion for you - put all onion and garlic in the food processor, take out and then put your bread in there and blitz as well. Put 1/4 cup of milk or less on that bread, it makes for a soft meatball! Make life easy for yourself!
Love,love,love your video!❤
Thank you!!
Bravo
I've been waiting for this recipe. ❤
Hey Nicole - try a dash of cinnamon in your meat when your browning it up!!!! It's an amazing flavor that no one will guess - and you'll LOVE IT!
You have a nice personality, i could watch you all day 😊 ❤

Love it when she says the only acceptable frozen meatballs are the ones you made before and froze 😂
In addition a shout out to your teacher AKA Grandma 😊❤😊❤
Looks good, but know wine in the sauce?
I love a southern Italian accent
As a Boston girls adorable
