    List of Ingredients





    Sunday Gravy (Spaghetti Sauce)

    Source of Recipe
    Frank Pellegrino on FoodTV

    1 lb. piece lean beef (bottom round is good)
    1 lb. piece lean pork (I used tenderloin)
    1 lb. Italian sausage
    � c. olive oil
    4 garlic cloves, peeled
    3 T. tomato paste
    � c. water
    3 (35-oz.) cans San Marzano plum tomatoes
    Salt and pepper, to taste

    In a large dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and toss to
    coat with oil. Cut meat up into slices or chunks. Cook meat a few pieces at
    a time, until nicely browned on all sides. Remove meat from pan and set
    aside. When garlic cloves have browned, remove and discard them. (NOTE: This
    is where I added the onions and herbs.)

    Combine the tomato paste and water (or wine) and stir into oil. Stirring
    constantly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and juice, raise heat
    and bring to a boil. Using a tomato can, add 2 cans of water to the pan and
    bring to a boil again.

    Return the beef and pork to the sauce and add salt and pepper, to taste.
    Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 5 minutes. Lower heat and partially
    cover pan. Cook for approximately 2 hours, stirring occasionally until meat
    is almost falling apart and sauce is thick.

    One hour before sauce is ready, add the Italian sausage, meatballs and
    braciole (if using).

    Serves 8 to 10.
