Perfect Sunday Sauce that will make Nonna Proud

I ate spaghetti at my grandparents house EVERY SUNDAY. Everyone was welcome at this table. The tradition of the DiMarino sauce is something hard to capture. It's about so much more than the sauce. My grandfather was literally making sauce when he died. I used to go over early and eat sauce sandwiches. The dogs beards were permanently stained red from eating leftover spaghetti. My uncle makes sauce that tastes identical to my grandparents and NOTHING tastes better. It is the definition of the best sauce in the world to me. People would come over to the family dinner and would no joke talk about it for the rest of their lives. That sauce was love.

I made this a few weekends in a row last year and let me tell you it's time consuming but absolutely worth it. You get leftovers for days that reheat incredibly well, the sauce itself freezes and reheats great, and so on. My mom's side of the family is Greek so I definitely spent plenty of Sundays getting stuffed with yia yia's dolmades and spanakopita, but this is on another level.

Sunday sauce gotta simmer all day w the balls, ribs, sausage

Been watching this channel for a few years now and it's so nice to see it grow. You consistently put out high quality and professional recipes with a great amount of respect for tradition. Keep it up man, greetings from Belgium

This looks so good, the ricotta garnish is just that extra thing that really takes it next level!

I love how you take the essential foundation of the sauce that everyone Italian grew up with and , but add technique and nuances that just kick up to a way higher level. I am definitely trying this!

So…just my experience with this recipe, folks…I set aside last Sunday to make this sauce..11/24/2023…. First…it turned out AMAZING..!! I used the same three meats that Chef Steve used… BUT…I used a Dutch oven to seer them…using a low pan like in the video will create a splattery mess, IMO… (but it’s a kitchen, I get it)…. I also used 1 large can of Nina’s tomatoes from Costco and 2 28-oz can of San Marzanos…also from Costco… Crushed by hand, no food mill… The sauce reduced quite a bit over the 7-9 hours that I cooked it, but MY LORD, was it OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD… Some good pasta, wine and high-quality Parmesano reggiano and you get some serious grub for you and your loved ones… A lot of work, but waaaay worth it, IMO… Kudos to the chef from NY..!! You hit this one outta the park, Sir…. Definitely the best cooking channel on Ytube…Cheers from Ohio….

Crushing it bro. Love everything you do. Videos are entertaining and educational, and of the half dozen or so of your dishes that I’ve made, everything has been delicious. Thanks for making the world a better place!

I’ve waited for this for sooo long. There is something so refreshing about hearing how other people make their sauce. The little differences are like learning about someones family history. all agree though that the bread dip is absolutely necessary 😊

This channel is the best! Definitely got me motivated to cook a new Italian dish almost every day during the pandemic. Got to the point now that yesterday I cooked home made egg fresh lasagna sheets with a Venice style fish sauce and bechamel 😅

My mother made Sunday sauce every week, and the whole house was filled with the delicious aroma and the windows in the kitchen would be fogged up from the condensation from the long simmering sauce. No jar sauce can ever come close to the flavor of my mother's and grandmother's homemade sauce. And yes, there was always a loaf of Italian bread for dipping while the sauce cooked. I miss them and those days. I think I'll make some sauce this weekend.

This channel deserves millions of subscribers! I’m a fan since years and the quality is constantly top notch Cheers from San Diego California

Made this yesterday for our Sunday Supper. It was amazing! The sauce is so much better and more flavorful when cooked like this - for hours on end. Definitely will make this on a regular basis.

Such a great video to watch. Brings back a lot of memories including the great smell of the sauce cooking when walking into Grandma’s house. She used beef, pork and veal in her meatballs. I’m sure your Grandma is telling everyone in heaven….. That’s MY grandson cooking my food! Deliciouso.

Working on my first ever Sunday Sauce and my house is smelling amazing! Excited to have the finished product. Thank you!

This looks amazing. I absolutely love the 50beef/50veal combo for meatballs (and meatloaf!). My grandma would make sunday sauce with sausage, meatballs, and bone-on short ribs too and it was always so incredible. I've been wanting to try to make the ribs like her and I think if I follow this video I'll nail it.

Growing up Sicilian if I meet non-Italians they would always ask me if we cooked our sauce for hours. And I would tell them that if you add meat other than meatballs and sausage then it's called a ragu. If you don't use all of the meat then it's sugo/sauce. I love adding the ricotta cheese the meatballs. Delicious!!! Great video as usual.

@notanothercookingshow, I absolutely love your videos. you do a good job at making the viewer feel like they are in your kitchen and you are talking to them. Very entertaining and your recipes look amazing. Keep it up.

Oh maaaaaan, I’m DROOLING. This seems like a great way to spend a day in the kitchen!

Thus was everything I hoped for in a Sunday Sauce! It was very similar to how my friends grandmother made her sauce for Sunday dinner. Wonderful video, thank you.
