This has to be the best sauce recipe I have watched, simple and straight to the point. I like to cook mine for 2 days to absorb all the flavors.

Thank you so much for sharing this!
My maternal great grandparents were from Sicily➡️ NOLA. We ate Sunday gravy and meatballs EVERY Sunday as a kid, growing up in Baton Rouge. I’ve missed this ever since my great grandma and grandma died. Because of your video, it’s my turn to start the tradition for my little girls.

My wife and I prepared and cooked all of the meat and onions last night. This morning, we started cooking the sauce and then put in all the meat. She kept telling me, "You're killing me" because of all the wonderful aromas. We just added some mushrooms because we love mushrooms. We've been tasting it all day (for salt content 😊). It is the best sauce we've ever tasted. Thank you so much for sharing.

Italian American immigrants when they came over here in the 1890's thru 1930's, they had to create their own recipes, because they couldn't find the supplies they could in the old country! They were astonished with the amount of meat there was, and learned to braise all different cuts to feed their families! I honor those immigrants, their courage and sacrifice, their hard work and most importantly their love, which is eternal!

All I can say is I followed this recipe and I feel like a chef. This was so good, totally unbelievable! I made the meatballs also. I didn't have breadcrumbs so I whizzed a box of Aldi stuffing mix and used some of that. Deep flipping licious! So tender just like you said. Other than the stuffing mix I followed to the letter. OMG people you can be a chef too! The whole house smelled so good I called the neighbors over just to smell. Nicole, you are the best cook, chef 👩‍🍳

My nonna (from Palermo) always used fennel seed in her sauce. I love it so I do it too. 
Every family has their way & their traditions. It's all good. 🍝

I love All Recipes. They are usually very simple and not too many ingredients.

It's fun to see how people put together their sugo. We all do it a little differently. That's the fun of it. Your sauce looked delicious.

My wife and I live in Medellin, Colombia. (Originally from Houston, Texas.) This morning, I went to our big local market and found one of the pork sellers. They weren't hard to find because they were carving up an entire pig on the side table. I ordered 2 kg of "huesos de cuello de cerdo" (bones of the neck of the pig). They were happy to oblige. The total cost was 45, 000 COP (about $10 US.) Thank you for sharing this wonderful secret family recipe.

My oldest son moved to Japan. When I went to visit, the one thing he requested was my sauce. Having him come in the kitchen and constantly tasting it made my entire trip. I've never done the meat like that but I guarantee I'll be doing it from now on! Thanks for sharing your secrets!

[arlenerodriguez]

I am so excited for this recipe! That sauce looks too DEEE-LICIOUS!! Homemade, cook all day sauce is a recipe I've always wanted. I absolutely will be trying to make it and pray is comes out remotely close to yours. Since I found your channel, I have been watching your vids back to back and appreciating and enjoying every single one. Thank you loads for sharing with us. Arlene

[laurakasinski]

I made this today and my family loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe 🙏🏼

[MelyndaVang]

Thank you Nicole. I love your Sunday sauce. I used your recipe as a base. I use pork chops along with the pork chop bones...italian sausage, and italian meatballs. So good! My older son who normally does not like spaghetti tried this and fall in love with spaghetti. this is a game changee for my family when everybody actually loves spaghetti and you can just cook one thing instead of 4 things bc someone doesn't like the main recipe. But now, everybody loves the main recipe. LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
