One of my great aunts on my mother’s side was an Italian war bride. Sometimes after church we went to their house for Sunday dinner. She made Sunday sauce with sausage, meatballs, and roast beef in it. Occasionally it had srolled up steak stuffed with spinach, bread crumbs, and pinenuts. I have often joked I must have been Italian in another life, because Italian food is so comforting to me, but actually it was my auntie’s cooking. She put a wholeclotta love in the food she cooked.
That Sunday Sauce sounds a lot like the one my husband’s mother has always made.
Italian food is very diverse, different regions having such different staples and specialties. It’s not all pasta or other stuff in tomato sauce.
