I made the sauce tonight. I have been trying different recipes forever trying to nail it. It happened. This is it. NAILED IT. Thank you!!! Amazing sauce.
this is the best tomato sauce on the planet. i’ve been making it this way ever since the video came out. i must confess i do take 2 small cloves of garlic and make it into a paste with some sicilian sea salt adding it to soffritto after it has cooked for 15-20 minutes. always use the san marzano tomatoes i process them in a food mill, perfect consistency every time. blending the vegetables with the extra virgin olive oil for the soffritto is brilliant. there are other tomato sauces out there that are very good, this one is simply the best. well done Vincenzo. greetings from Long Island. - Tim
I'm going to try this next Sunday sauce I make. I need garlic in mine so glad to hear someone else tried that.. I also sometimes throw a bone in there but I feel like it's not needed with this sauce
I was surprised he didn’t use garlic or any other Italian herb. Just wondering what pasta would go with this, best he didn’t tell us. Lol. Going to make it tonight.
@@samcohen1625 I made it with garlic, and added a light amount of other herbs (oregano, but more of a mix), mostly just adding basil at the end. It was very good, though I prefer a sauce with a bone/meat in it and to cook longer. I'll be doing the blending step w/celery+carrots+onion+olive oil from now on, for sure.
Yes! I am Italian and I remember with pleasure when my grandmother cooked the tomato sauce and I ate half of it spreading it on hot bread! Perfect match 👌
Not sure why but you brought me right back with your comment. Litteraly made me emotional. Probably the best memories of my life, my Nonna cooking pasta and family having fun around an amazing plate of rigatoni and meatballs swimming in the best marinara sauce ever made. Oh and don't forget the romano. 🥲
@@simonmonty7171 yes if you have never had him me made speghetti sauce with fresh Italian bread. Hot preferably with butter. The sauce in a bowl so you can dip the bread in and hopefully have some homemade meatballs. You don’t need speghetti!! That’s a meal itself!! My kids always fought over who got to dip the first piece of bread to test the sauce to see if it was ready for a bowl! I’m making a pot of homemade speghetti sauce today and my youngest daughter is waiting impatiently with my grandson for grandpa to bring them some because they are sick. So naturally grandma is cooking for them. I haven’t made my homemade speghetti sauce in about 4 years since I had a stroke so the whole family is waiting for it. I’m making meatballs and sweet Italian sausage to go with it and sent my husband for some fresh bread! We live close to Philly, but he won’t go over the bridge to get real fresh Italian bread. But we’ll suffice with what he finds locally in south Jersey! It’s been simmering for a few hours and has a few more to go to be perfect!!!
My son has made this a few times now and it's brilliant. Very much like the sauce my Italian born mother and grandmother made. We are 100% Italian on both sides (and my husband was born in Italy! )and my mother called it gravy! Please don't get mad! Love your cooking style!
Hey there! So glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe and that it reminded you of your Italian roots 🇮🇹 No worries about the terminology, everyone has their own way of doing things! Hope you keep enjoying the videos and recipes 🤗🍝
@@vincenzosplate Thank you so much! I've referred you and your RUclips channel to several friends who now love it, too! My beloved, late mother would so approve of your true Italian cooking! Thank you for your dedication to our roots.❤️
I made this pasta sauce. Omg! Best pasta sauce I've ever had! The closest I can think of was this Italian restaurant I worked at when I was first year of uni. Absolutely delicious!
It's always nice to hear that people are enjoying my recipes. I'm happy that you found the sauce to be similar to the one you had at the Italian restaurant you worked at. That's a high compliment, and I'm honored that you think my sauce is comparable.
I appreciate that! Please apply what you learned whenever you cook something in the kitchen and don't forget to share your gift with family and friends. Impress them with your talent.
I made this today, sort of..I used a whole onion, 3 cans of chopped toms, amount 60 ml of oil in total and also added garlic and oregano.. so I did stray from the recipe a little but wow what a beautiful thick delicious sauce. I’m so satisfied that I made it myself and its not full of sugar and preservatives, I’ll definitely be making it again and trying more of your recipes! I served mine on home made tagliatelle with a bit of pecorino / it was so good !
Nothing will ever smell and taste as good to me then fresh pasta sauce. My grandmother made such good spaghetti, I'd get off the bus from school and the house would smell amazing!
There's something truly special about the aroma and flavor of homemade pasta sauce, especially when it's made by someone you love. Those childhood memories of your grandmother's spaghetti sound wonderful. Food has a way of bringing back cherished moments. 🍝👵🏼🏡💕
Half my freezer full of this sauce, all fresh from our garden. I cook it for about 6 hours lid off or till its reduced to a nice thick sauce . We stopped bottling the sauce, now we just put them in takeaway containers then in the freezer. Thanks for sharing people who try your recipe will love it.
Made it, loved it. The tomatoes clearly were the star. They stood out, vibrant, clean and fresh tasting. This is my new sauce recipe. Thank you for sharing the recipe, Vincenzo.
Vincenzo, I love watching you cook.... I learn SO much. You not only tell your audience what to use, you explain WHY you use these ingredients. This is very important to understand why only certain ingredients will work. I am a big fan of your from Virginia in the USA. Thank you for your posts.
Thank you Vincenzo for showing us how the real authentic Italian preparations are done on your channel. Really grateful for all these simple and mind blowing secrets that you share. Having tried this sauce and many other recipes you have shown, I can confidently say that Italian cooking at home has never been the same again!
My husband makes a Sofrito that is Puerto Rican. We use it as a seasoning base to many of our meals. We make it in batches and freeze it in mason jars.
I've been trying to make a great pasta sauce for many years, having flirted with buying San Marzanos in the past, experimenting with all sorts of things, and nothing's got it as good as this. The mixture of the pureed, gently cooked soffrito, pre-blended good tomatoes (I bought some 2.5kg San Marzano tins) and gentle hour with the lid on seem to be the big secrets. A truly lovely sauce, thank you so much!
Thank you, Paisano for helping me get back to our roots through our lifeblood: FOOD 🙏 Can’t wait to start making these. A lot of what you say in your videos is what my mom (Neapolitan/Sicilian) also was taught growing up. A lot of our culture and cuisine got lost over the years
I have made my own sauce for over 50 years because moving to the south, what they consider pasta sauce tastes like it comes out of a franco american spaghetti can. Although I love my sauce recipe, even my son in law loves it and he's a great cook, this knocks it out of the park. Delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing. I really love your videos.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I've been searching for how to make a tomato basil sauce with a soffritto base - the right way. Finally, I found out. You nailed it. When it comes to Italian cuisine, you're the best!
I love the idea of the Sofrito. I always use fresh sweet cherry tomatoes 🍅 I blend them and strain the skins and the seeds, so so delicious 😋 thank you for the tip.
I've been blending the soffritto for years and it really does make a huge difference. With enough olive oil it acts as an emulsifier and it also acts somewhat like a blond to light brown roux where the flavors develop and then helps thicken the sauce. It's a no brainer also from a production standpoint. It's much easier to blend than to do a small dice by hand.
Hi! We call it TUCO! I learned from my Nonna Pepina (who was from Capo D'Orlando) . My father continued the tradition to cook Tuco with many tomatoes. Here in Peru we can get italian tomatoes. Instead basil we use bay leaves :) But I tried with basil too. Soooo delicious!! Thank you for this video! It remember us we are italian people!
Well Vincenzo, I made this sauce tonight. I didn't blend the onion, carrot and celery, but I did chop them finely by hand. I kind of like chunky. This sauce was superb! It tastes very sunny. The only thing wrong with it is you failed to warn that the tomatoes EXPLODE when crushing them by hand!😁 I had tomato guts all over my counter!! THANK YOU VINCENZO!!!
I must admit Vincenzo, I had my doubts about your passata recipe. I thought, "surely it can't be this easy. Surely thev fresh basil can't add such good flavor that fast. " I was so surprised at how simple and delicious it was. I used that recipe to add to this one. It makes me wonder what I've been doing with my life. My kids loved making it all day because we made a much bigger batch and we didn't have a vegetable mill, unfortunately. Best homemade pizza and spaghetti sauce I've ever tasted. Thank you so much.
I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the passata recipe and found it simple yet delicious! 🍅🌿 It's amazing how a few fresh ingredients can elevate the flavor of a dish. I'm glad your kids had fun making it too, even without a vegetable mill. Keep exploring and experimenting in the kitchen. Buon appetito! 🍕🍝
Vincenzo, thank you for sharing this secret with me. This is the best and simplest sauce I have ever had the pleasure of making. Your wisdom has blessed me I will never make sauce the old way again. Love and peace you absolute legend. Xo
I made this last night for today, for my girlfriend and me. Best pasta I ever had, also used the tips from the 10 mistakes when cooking pasta, different world. I want to thank you Vincenzo, I learned spices just accompliment the sauce, the taste should come from the ingredients itself Usually put garlic salt, celery salt and chilli, stuff like that... horrible abominations I created there haha Not anymore! ♥
Glad you found the recipe helpful! Exciting to hear about your progress with pasta. Keep experimenting with spices and remember, quality ingredients are key 🍝👨🍳
I made this and it was absolutely fantastic! Especially to dip the PALOTTE CACIO E UOVA in. Magnificent! I canned a lot of it last fall and it only lasted six months. I'm doing double the amount this fall.
That's wonderful to hear! 😄🇮🇹 Pairing this pasta with PALOTTE CACIO E UOVA sounds like a heavenly combination. Doubling up on the canning is a smart move. Enjoy your delicious homemade Italian treats! 🍝🧀🍳👌
My 3 kids definitely approve. It’s the only sauce they’ll eat. I grow my own Roma & San Maranzano tomatoes & every harv st we make & can our sauce for the entire year
thank for sharing this secret, what a jewel on RUclips this channel is, i never had an idea the sauce is as simple as this, from this point i will rather buy high quality tomato's instead of expensive sauces in store
@@vincenzosplate I must admit it is pretty hard to get my hands on san Marzano tomatoes where i live, i have found slightly different breed Piennolo tomato from location of Vesuvio, and i wanted to try one before i start cooking the sauce and i ended up eating it all so none left for the sauce it was that much delicious, i will have to try again next week :D
@@vincenzosplate I have tried the sauce it is Perfect 11/10 especially with freshly baked Ciabatta from your ciabatta for home oven recipe, these two together = heaven on earth and in the mouth :D
Today is my little girl second birthday, she wants from me to cook her favourite sauce. Thank you Vincenzo for this channel, my family loves your recipes. Greetings from Bulgaria. ❤
My pleasure 😊 I hope you enjoy recreating this amazing tomato sauce recipe. It’s a very versatile sauce that fits really well with the dishes you plan on making for this.
Your channel is like angels handing you the secrets of heaven, i tried your foccacia recipe and impressed many guests today. I can't wait to make this sauce, been looking for a while for this recipe!
Thank you for sharing your secret recipe with passion and care. I used to use bottled pasta sauce before watching your video. But not anymore. I feel so happy to say good bye to the artificial sauce and my awful cooking. i even add wine and sugar to the artificial sauce to try to make it taste better. Furthermore, I invite my friend to have him taste your sauce with meat balls. He loved it. I'm so lucky to have you here as a guide to authentic italian cuisine.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! I'm thrilled to hear that my tomato and basil sauce recipe has made a positive difference in your cooking journey. Saying goodbye to bottled pasta sauce and embracing homemade with fresh ingredients is a fantastic step towards authentic Italian cuisine
Made this beautiful sauce on Sunday and my wife and I LOVED it! Not bad for a first attempt; I am looking forward to improving my technique and will definitely be making this again. I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you. I really want to try your Nonna's amazing lasagne next! 👍
It’s all about surface area. The blending for the soffiritto is perfect. My blender doesn’t get it as fine, so I just cook it for longer before adding the tomatoes. Personally, I find 10-15, sometimes even 17 minutes to work very well. I have a Christmas batch going right now and my family isn’t even Italian, but they asked for it! 😂
Found this video, made this sauce the other day, and OMG!!!! It is the best, so much flavour, and used it with a lasagna..... when your children want a second portion you know you have nailed it, THANK YOU!!!!!!
I was looking for a good Italian sauce to make and came across your video. This sauce looks so good! I will make it the next time I have pasta. Thank you for showing us how!
Vincenzo Grazie!! Thank you for sharing this video, I really like your recipe and myself and my family are going to try making it, and of course some beautiful fresh pasta! Boun Apetito!! Thanks Jason Del Signore
That's incredible! 🎉🍝 I'm thrilled that you found the sauce to be the best you've made. Thank you for your support and kind words. Keep enjoying the deliciousness! 😊👨🍳
This sauce is the BOMB! Easy to make and taste better than what you get at the store! Made it 2 times now. Only need to find even better boxed tomatoes.
The best part about this sauce is that it goes well with everything! My family is part Italian, and part Greek, so whether I'm making a pasta dish, or a Greek Lathero, I can use this sauce is both, or over chicken....or over veal....or over lamb....literally everything! Thank you so much for sharing Vincenzo! Really enjoy your channel! Ci vediamo my friend!
thank you so much for making these videos. Tomato sauce may seem really easy to prepare, but there's so many mistakes you can make (especially if you aren't a talented cook). Thank you for entertaing us while educating us!
it is always a pleasure for me to share these recipes! As you said, the sauce is not very simple, but if you follow the right recipe it can be done perfectly! 😋
Thank you! 😄 Your approach of blending the veggies into the sauce sounds wonderful too. Enjoy trying it "my way" this time, and feel free to experiment with different techniques. Cooking is all about creativity and making it your own! Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍝👨🍳😊
You are about to convert me to turn into an Italian. Thank you so much for this video and the others too! I was planning to cook something special for my Mom for her birthday next week.
That's wonderful to hear! 🎉 I'm sure your mom will be delighted with the special birthday meal. Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions while preparing the dish. Enjoy cooking and creating beautiful memories with your family!
I made the sauce 6 times and is best ever. Thank you, your recipe is #1. I didn't find the tomatoes that you're using but I could get some Mutti from Parma. Sauce is perfect!👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I have an Italian store near to me and they import everything. I'll have to make this because there is nothing like good pasta on a winter's day. Beautiful and easy to make!
I found that it's best to let the sauce cool before eating it, as that gives it time for the flavors to really come out. Delicious! All three of my children are learning to make this sauce.
That's a fantastic approach! Allowing the sauce to cool and letting the flavors meld is a great way to enhance the taste. It's wonderful to hear that you're passing down the tradition to your children, creating beautiful memories together. Buon appetito and may your cooking adventures continue to be enjoyable and memorable! 👨🍳🇮🇹❤️👩🍳👨🍳👶🍝
Our parent’s and grandparent’s generation in the New York area called it gravy because they were poor and we would all eat together on Sundays; cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc. and there would be meatballs and/or braciole and sausage inside. Our moms and grandmas would cook it for hours all morning on Sunday. So it was not a sugo or (sauce) for us. It was much more substantial than a basic sugo or salsa, considering all of the meat inside. Then we would eat it with spaghetti or macaroni and top it with fresh ricotta. Of course who can forget my pop’s bottle of red wine under the dinner table. So proud and blessed for the history of our culture and family.
What a beautiful tradition! It's amazing how food can be such a powerful connection to our heritage and family history. Your description of Sunday gatherings filled with gravy, meatballs, braciole, and sausage is making my mouth water! Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your family's culinary traditions I hope you continue to make more traditions with them.
Holy Moly, I just made this and DAMMM it tastes AMAZING 🤩 Usually I struggle to get the right taste and consistency but not after using your recipe 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Soffritto, the Italian Mirepoix. You guys might share the Alps, but food wise you share so much. This is a wonderful recipe that can be used for just about anything. The rock salt is key.
You've got it spot on! 🍲🇮🇹 Soffritto and Mirepoix are culinary cousins, and they're the heart of many savory dishes. That rock salt brings the magic together. Keep enjoying the shared flavors from the Alps and beyond! 🏔️👨🍳🌟
I thought i knew how to so a simple tomato sauce... Thank you very mucho. Indeed, italian tomatoes are completely diferent. Thank you Vincenzo, i learned how to improve my pasta with your grandma, and now you thought me how to so the tomatoe sauce

I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the passata recipe and found it simple yet delicious! 🍅🌿 It's amazing how a few fresh ingredients can elevate the flavor of a dish. I'm glad your kids had fun making it too, even without a vegetable mill. Keep exploring and experimenting in the kitchen. Buon appetito! 🍕🍝
Vincenzo, thank you for sharing this secret with me. This is the best and simplest sauce I have ever had the pleasure of making. Your wisdom has blessed me I will never make sauce the old way again. Love and peace you absolute legend. Xo
omg thank you very much .❤ I'm super glad you loved this recipe 😍
I just made this tomato sauce and my wife said it was the best tomato sauce she ever had. It's also probably the best one i've ever had too. Cheers.
I made this last night for today, for my girlfriend and me. Best pasta I ever had, also used the tips from the 10 mistakes when cooking pasta, different world.
I want to thank you Vincenzo, I learned spices just accompliment the sauce, the taste should come from the ingredients itself
Usually put garlic salt, celery salt and chilli, stuff like that... horrible abominations I created there haha
Not anymore! ♥
Glad you found the recipe helpful! Exciting to hear about your progress with pasta. Keep experimenting with spices and remember, quality ingredients are key 🍝👨🍳
I made this and it was absolutely fantastic! Especially to dip the PALOTTE CACIO E UOVA in. Magnificent! I canned a lot of it last fall and it only lasted six months. I'm doing double the amount this fall.
That's wonderful to hear! 😄🇮🇹 Pairing this pasta with PALOTTE CACIO E UOVA sounds like a heavenly combination. Doubling up on the canning is a smart move. Enjoy your delicious homemade Italian treats! 🍝🧀🍳👌
A loaf of bread, a bowl of your sugo, and a glass of wine is all I need! Grazie Signor!
Mmh, what a goodness 😍
Vincenzo, you are my hero now! I could barely resist eating the entire pot I made. Thank you for sharing this!
WOW 😍 I'm now a hero!! 😁
Thank you so much, I'm really happy you tried and loved it 🤩
I just made this and it’s the best marinara sauce I have ever tasted. The soffrito was easy and made all the difference. Thank you for sharing
wow amazing! I'm really happy you loved it 😍 with which pasta did you serve it? 😋
@@vincenzosplate with meatballs. My husband and I aren’t going to make it any other way. Thank you for sharing
Barilla spaghettini
Omg thank you so much, for months i was searching for a pasta sauce. Finally i did find it, this sauce is the best
I just made this sauce today and OMG thanks Vincenzo it was awesome. Everyone in the family loved it.
WOW I'm happy to hear that! 😍
My 3 kids definitely approve. It’s the only sauce they’ll eat. I grow my own Roma & San Maranzano tomatoes & every harv st we make & can our sauce for the entire year
That's fantastic! Nothing beats homemade sauce from fresh tomatoes. Your kids have great taste! 🍅👨👩👧👦 Keep up the great work in the kitchen! 👨🍳
thank for sharing this secret, what a jewel on RUclips this channel is, i never had an idea the sauce is as simple as this, from this point i will rather buy high quality tomato's instead of expensive sauces in store
Yayyy, now you can make Tomato sauce to perfection! This is suuuper easy and delicious!
Please try this recipe and let me know 😋
@@vincenzosplate I must admit it is pretty hard to get my hands on san Marzano tomatoes where i live, i have found slightly different breed Piennolo tomato from location of Vesuvio, and i wanted to try one before i start cooking the sauce and i ended up eating it all so none left for the sauce it was that much delicious, i will have to try again next week :D
@@vincenzosplate I have tried the sauce it is Perfect 11/10 especially with freshly baked Ciabatta from your ciabatta for home oven recipe, these two together = heaven on earth and in the mouth :D
Today is my little girl second birthday, she wants from me to cook her favourite sauce. Thank you Vincenzo for this channel, my family loves your recipes. Greetings from Bulgaria. ❤
Unfortunately in Algeria we haven't Italian tomatoes but I tried your recipe and it was very delicious, thank you Sir 😍♥
amazing! That means you did a great job ☺️ thank you Maya ❤️
But we have a better olive oil sis 🤫
@@petitmohfennec7193 hell yes😋😍

Please make it as soon as possible, and let me know 😋
@@vincenzosplate tried it last night, it has a really, really authentic taste and is ao easy to make!!! Thank you Vincenzo! You are my hero!!
Thank you for sharing your secret recipe with passion and care. I used to use bottled pasta sauce before watching your video. But not anymore. I feel so happy to say good bye to the artificial sauce and my awful cooking. i even add wine and sugar to the artificial sauce to try to make it taste better. Furthermore, I invite my friend to have him taste your sauce with meat balls. He loved it. I'm so lucky to have you here as a guide to authentic italian cuisine.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! I'm thrilled to hear that my tomato and basil sauce recipe has made a positive difference in your cooking journey. Saying goodbye to bottled pasta sauce and embracing homemade with fresh ingredients is a fantastic step towards authentic Italian cuisine
Clicked thinking I know it all. Learned a lot. Grateful. Thank you!
wow, I'm glad it was helpful! Many many thanks ❤️
idid know nothing but iam excited to try
Good job Mr/Mrs Watts👌
Why no garlic in this recipe tho ?
@Wulfric Looking for errors.🤣
Your videos have made me a big fan of Italian cuisine. My guests at home love the food
I appreciate it 🙏🏻❤️
Grazie per acculturare il mondo, ci vorrebbero molte persone come lei.
puoi darmi del tu Angelo!
Grazie mille 😘
Boy, it. sure makes a difference doing the addition of blended carrot, onion and celery. Who would have thought?! Thank you.
Absolutely! 🥕🧅🌿 Blending carrot, onion, and celery is a classic Italian technique that adds depth to many dishes. Happy cooking! 😊👨🍳🇮🇹
Made this beautiful sauce on Sunday and my wife and I LOVED it! Not bad for a first attempt; I am looking forward to improving my technique and will definitely be making this again. I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you. I really want to try your Nonna's amazing lasagne next! 👍
Wow, thank you so much Mark, I’m happy you and your wife loved this sauce! 😋
Now you can only get better 👏🏻
It’s all about surface area. The blending for the soffiritto is perfect. My blender doesn’t get it as fine, so I just cook it for longer before adding the tomatoes. Personally, I find 10-15, sometimes even 17 minutes to work very well. I have a Christmas batch going right now and my family isn’t even Italian, but they asked for it! 😂
How bad can that be. Simple, quality ingredients. Can't wait to make it. Love his style and his passion. Very easy to listen to.
Hope you enjoy 😍 Please make it and let me know 😋 I'm sure you will do an amazing job!
Found this video, made this sauce the other day, and OMG!!!! It is the best, so much flavour, and used it with a lasagna..... when your children want a second portion you know you have nailed it, THANK YOU!!!!!!
That's fantastic! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the sauce and that it was a hit with your family. Your kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you! 🙌🍝😊
Just made this sauce. It’s absolute perfection! 😍 thank you, Vincenzo!
Wow I’m so glad you loved it!
Perfect....I put it all in crock pot overnight, and blend next day...smooth like the sauce should be..ty
Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it goes. Happy cooking!

Wow I love to hear that 😍 thank you Zack!
I made the sauce yesterday, oh boy my children loved it with spaghetti. Greetings from Johannesburg RSA
The best part about this sauce is that it goes well with everything! My family is part Italian, and part Greek, so whether I'm making a pasta dish, or a Greek Lathero, I can use this sauce is both, or over chicken....or over veal....or over lamb....literally everything! Thank you so much for sharing Vincenzo! Really enjoy your channel! Ci vediamo my friend!
That’s exact as you said! This sauce it’s definitely perfect! Thank you

Thank you! 😄 Your approach of blending the veggies into the sauce sounds wonderful too. Enjoy trying it "my way" this time, and feel free to experiment with different techniques. Cooking is all about creativity and making it your own! Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍝👨🍳😊

Thanks! I have an Italian store near to me and they import everything. I'll have to make this because there is nothing like good pasta on a winter's day. Beautiful and easy to make!
wow you're really lucky!
Please try it and let me know 😋
I found that it's best to let the sauce cool before eating it, as that gives it time for the flavors to really come out. Delicious! All three of my children are learning to make this sauce.
That's a fantastic approach! Allowing the sauce to cool and letting the flavors meld is a great way to enhance the taste. It's wonderful to hear that you're passing down the tradition to your children, creating beautiful memories together. Buon appetito and may your cooking adventures continue to be enjoyable and memorable! 👨🍳🇮🇹❤️👩🍳👨🍳👶🍝
Our parent’s and grandparent’s generation in the New York area called it gravy because they were poor and we would all eat together on Sundays; cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc. and there would be meatballs and/or braciole and sausage inside. Our moms and grandmas would cook it for hours all morning on Sunday. So it was not a sugo or (sauce) for us. It was much more substantial than a basic sugo or salsa, considering all of the meat inside. Then we would eat it with spaghetti or macaroni and top it with fresh ricotta. Of course who can forget my pop’s bottle of red wine under the dinner table. So proud and blessed for the history of our culture and family.
What a beautiful tradition! It's amazing how food can be such a powerful connection to our heritage and family history. Your description of Sunday gatherings filled with gravy, meatballs, braciole, and sausage is making my mouth water! Thank you for sharing this glimpse into your family's culinary traditions I hope you continue to make more traditions with them.
Holy Moly, I just made this and DAMMM it tastes AMAZING 🤩
Usually I struggle to get the right taste and consistency but not after using your recipe 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wooow I’m super glad to hear that 😍 great job my friend!!
Soffritto, the Italian Mirepoix. You guys might share the Alps, but food wise you share so much. This is a wonderful recipe that can be used for just about anything. The rock salt is key.
You've got it spot on! 🍲🇮🇹 Soffritto and Mirepoix are culinary cousins, and they're the heart of many savory dishes. That rock salt brings the magic together. Keep enjoying the shared flavors from the Alps and beyond! 🏔️👨🍳🌟
OMG! The sugo looks soooooooooooooooo delicious - I would call my sugo "Vincenzo's Sugo".
Wow, what an honour 😍😍 thank you my friend! ❤️
I sometimes come back to this video just for the presentation. Amazing sauce!!
oh wow thank you a lot! 🙏🏻 Have you ever made this sauce?

I make too much and freeze batches for pizza and pasta. Delicious
I really love the Italian pasta, well done on the pasta sauce. I will have to try it.
Thank you Minerva 😘 Please try it ASAP 😋😋
I have so much basil in my garden. I can't wait to test this method out.
Wonderful! Please try it and let me know!
I love your passion. I make my sauce exactly the same way and agree to cook the sauce slow.

So you make the best tomato sauce 😁😍
