5x7" acrylic Price on RequestWhen I was growing up in NY everyone I knew called spaghetti sauce gravy. As in:
"Pass the gravy, Please." "You need more gravy on that ziti?" "I gotta go start the gravy."
Heres a good recipe for gravy:
4 tablespoons olive oil
5 garlic cloves and one onion minced
5 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled and sliced*
1 6-oz. can tomato paste
splash of red wine
taste of sugar
10 fresh basil leaves
pepper
grated parmesean cheese
*OR 2 28-oz. cans ready-cut peeled tomatoes
In a deep 10-inch frying pan or pot heat the olive oil and gently sauté the garlic and onion.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste
Simmer
Simmer some more
Add wine, sugar to taste
Add basil and cheese

We also called it gravy when I was growing up down south. Guess that was just a generic term way back then.
Is that your recipe or just something you pulled off the web?
Wadda mean 'pulled off the web'?!?
Of course its real. And making it is an art not a science so you have to taste it and adjust seasonings as it simmers.
A painter that can cook - priceless combo!
I found your comment on our blog had been sent to spam. I have marked you as a nonspammer so you can comment away. However, don't waste your words on Lisa's stuff, wait for me.
