LOL! > Thanks- > Tony > Gravy --- Naples. OK, the tomato based stuff, not the beef kind. My wife makes one with tomato paste, crushed tomatoes and a can of water for each can of paste. Add in garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, basil. I have no idea how much, just to taste. Add some meat (whatever you happen to have) and cook for a long time. I bet the people here can give more details on how they do it. Or do a recipe search. If you have any idea what mom put in, it would help find a close recipe. |

I can't think of any gravy that is a major trick to make. Give us a synopsis of what mom's gravy tasted like. This could be fun. |

I grew up with many Italians, I know that. Some people called it spaghetti sauce. I only said tomato sauce so people would know we weren't talking roast beef gravy or anything. I don't have the energy to post any recipe for the OP. For the bitterness I've known Italians who'd add a carrot and take it out when it was done. Pork chops/necks/ribs will give a good flavor to the sauce. I don't know what the sister is doing so who knows. I say it's time for Tony to make the sauce since he doesn't like what he's getting. nancy |

But if it tastes too acidy, a squirt of lemon juice will fix it. |
