Add meatballs for a classic Italian Sunday dinner. I’ve been making this recipe since I was a little girl. I made it on Sundays alongside my mother and Italian grandmother growing up and I’m so happy to pass it on to you.
Sunday Sauce {Sunday Gravy}
Italian Americans everywhere have a family Sunday sauce (also known as Sunday gravy). It’s a meal that cooks all day and brings the family together for a delicious weekend meal. When I say this is a staple in my house I really mean it. Once every few weeks, I make a huge pot of it this sauce and we have it for Sunday dinner. Then I break it up into portions (some with sausage and some without) and freeze it for easy weeknight meals when we need them.
How To Make Sunday Sauce
Start with browning the sausages until they are a deep brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Heat some olive oil in a large pot and saute chopped onions until soft. Add garlic and cook another minute before adding the crushed tomatoes. Add the browned sausage Add fresh basil and parsley. Stir in seasoning, bring to a boil, and simmer at least one hour. As the sauce cooks, it thickens and becomes more and more flavorful the longer it cooks. Taste for seasoning before serving and season to taste and serve over spaghetti. Enjoy Every Last bite.
