Kathleen’s family, having strong Italian-American roots, has equally strong views regarding the naming of tomato sauce. To them, this classic Italian sauce is always called gravy.

No matter what you call it, there’s no doubt that a good recipe for this Italian staple is a must-have. There are no shortage of gravy recipes, from the quick and easy to ones that take hours. We recently posted one of our favorite gravy recipes, and it’s made easily in under an hour.

Our gravy is great over pasta, topped on chicken parm, or used as a dipping sauce for our fried zucchini patties. So please, stop buying shitty jarred tomato sauce, and enter the world of delicious, homemade gravy that awaits you.
