It is, first and foremost, about family and the memories and traditions it creates.
What Is Sunday Gravy?
You see, you start out with a little bit of oil.
Then you fry some garlic.
Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; ya ensure it doesnt stick.
You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs; heh…?
And a little bit o wine.
An a little bit o sugar, and thats my trick.
The gravy would typically be prepped early in the morning and left to simmer while families would attend mass.
Choose what your family enjoys most and has access to.

This recipe makes 10-12 servings.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs
If youre makingmeatballs from scratch, preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, combine the meatball ingredients.
Using clean hands, mix together until evenly combined.
Then shape them into 1-inch meatballs.
The recipe should yield roughly 20-24 meatballs.
Arrange on a sheet pan with a wire rack about 1/2 inch apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs begin to brown.
Remove and set aside.
Meanwhile, place a large stock pot over medium-high heat.
(The process is just likesearing a steak.)
Remove the meat to a plate, then sear the sausages to brown them on all sides as well.
Add all the canned tomatoes to a large bowl.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions.
Then, add the tomatoes, carrots, basil, parsley and oregano.
Stir to combine, then layer in the seared meats, sausages and partially cooked meatballs.
Nestle theParmesan rind(if using) in the sauce, then bring the mixture to a low boil.
Remove the Parmesan rind and discard.
Then, transfer the sausages, meatballs and boned meats to a platter before serving.
Top the pasta and gravy with plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and additional fresh basil.
The meats cooked in the gravy then work as a hearty second course.
Of course, you’ve got the option to never go wrong with classic spaghetti, either.
Serve your Sunday gravy with one ofNonnas best Italian desserts!
