Italian Gravy image

This recipe is a homemade spaghetti meat sauce that has been passed down to 4 generations of Sicilians. The recipe has been altered by each person to fit personal preference and taste. Fresh tomatoes can be put in the place of the puree but not recommended, due to the high acidity of the fresh tomatoes.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

I've tried many Italian gravy recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. It's so simple to make, but it tastes like it's been simmering for hours. I love that I can use it on pasta, chicken, or even vegetables.
