CONFORTI FAMILY RED GRAVY (SPAGHETTI SAUCE)
When I was growing up my mother would open a jar of Ragu when we had spaghetti. Even though I do like Ragu, there is just nothing like home made! My husband is Italian, and I had never made sauce from scratch. He got me started, but now, I make it my own. And the house smells phenomenal while it's cooking!

Steps:
- 1. This is a double batch. The single batch always gives me enough sauce for 2 dinners, so I double it and freeze the extra.
- 2. Use a large stock pot. (I've used a 6 qt. crock pot and without the meat added, it filled it right to the top!)
- 3. If adding meat, fry the sausage or meatballs until nice & browned. De-glaze the pan with a little wine to get all those browned bits. If NOT adding the meat, just add a little wine to the sauce.
- 4. Add all the ingredients into the pot with the seasonings being added as below.
- 5. ** For the seasonings, My husband's grandmother taught him to add the seasonings in this order as a boy. I thought it was cute. - First you see the grass grow (this is the oregano, basil, parsley); - then the snow falls on the grass (parmesan cheese); - then you see some frost on the snow (this is the sugar) Then, of course, you mix it all in. :)
- 6. Cook at a low boil for 8-10 hours. I replace the pot lid with a flat slotted pan (like a pizza pan) to allow moisture to escape. The sauce needs to cook down a bit and thicken.
- 7. ** Note: You can cook this recipe all day on LOW in a 6-quart or larger crock pot.
BASIC RED GRAVY (MARINARA)
This easy to make marinara sauce can be used for a number of recipes. Add meatballs, ground beef & pork, Italian sausage, chicken, shrimp, or anything else you like with red gravy. This is a traditional Italian recipe passed down for generations. The flavors become more intense when it sits in the refrigerator a day or two then...

Steps:
- 1. Heat the bacon grease or olive oil in a Dutch oven, over medium heat and add chopped onions, green onions, and bell pepper and saute on low until onions are transparent but don't let them brown.
- 2. Add tomato paste, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic; cook down for about 5 minutes stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- 3. Add wine and beef stock, oregano, basil, granulated garlic & onion, bay leaves, sugar and salt & pepper to taste.
- 4. Simmer stock for about 30-45 minutes, adding more beef stock as needed to keep sauce fairly thin. Cover with a splatter screen or off-set the lid so steam can escape without splattering sauce all over the kitchen; cook for 2-3 hours or until desired thickness is reached. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve over pasta or add your favorite meat to red gravy. Buono Appetito!
- 5. *Options: ,I don't use carrots but if you like them add 2 finely chopped carrots to the onions and bell pepper if desired - it adds to the sweetness. If you like just a little heat in your red sauce then add crushed red pepper flakes to taste when adding tomato paste & sauce.

ITALIAN RED SAUCE AKA RED GRAVY OR SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This makes a great deal of sauce but it freezes very well and can be used in any way you would use a red sauce. The Italian ham makes all the difference in the taste. Also, for those who have made sauce and it has been "acidy" I have never had this problem with the imported tomatoes. Every time I make a batch, I give some to friends. They all love it. It also works very well with

Steps:
- Place olive oil in a large soup pot.
- Add garlic and simmer about one minute, do not let it brown.
- Put tomatoes in blender and blend briefly to smooth out the tomatoes.
- Then add to garlic.
- Cut Italian ham in chunks.
- When I order this from the Deli, I have them cut it in 1/2 lb slab.
- Add basil and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Let simmer about 6 hours.
- I always check the richness of the sauce by putting a spoonful in a clean bowl, let it sit for about 5 minutes and if water is seperating from the sauce, continue to simmer.

Steps:
- Rough chop onion and garlic.
- Heat up a large pan on medium heat.
- Pour in all of olive oil.
- Dump in onion and sauté until soft.
- Add garlic, bay leaf, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Stir all together into a mess and continue to cook, if it seems to hot, turn down the heat, you don't want to burn anything.
- Once everything is well mixed and cooked, turn up the heat for about 1 minute. I tell you to do this as you are about to add the balsamic vinegar to "deglaze" and you will want the pan hot.
- Add balsamic, stir quickly while hot steam rises. the vapors should make you eyes water, and nose run, so be careful to remain hygienic. when vapors stop remove from heat.
- Open all the cans of crushed tomato.
- Stir in one can at a time with wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- Once all cans are in, stir well again so you don't see any oil on the top of sauce. return to heat. Cook on low heat uncovered, stirring whenever you walk into the kitchen for some other reason. You don't need to stir it every hour, but do it whenever you get around to it. although you do need to stir it from time to time.
- Cook for at least five hours. If you want to do this while you go to work, you can transfer everything to a crock pot, but you must start in a big metal pot. Your choice.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, or use to cook my meatball recipe, which is highly recommended ( look at the reviews). doing my meatballs is particularly easy if you have transferred gravy to a crock pot, but if you do you may need to remove some sauce to fit the balls in the sauce.
- Freeze left over sauce, just pour cooled sauce in zip-lock bags and throw in freezer.
RED WINE GRAVY
Gravy does not take long to prepare, but it makes all the difference to a roast dinner. I make extra to freeze, ready to defrost as and when required (lasts about 3 to 4 months in the freezer). Perfect with a British roast dinner or with veggie sausages, mashed potato and steamed greens, or poured over vegan toad in the hole.

Steps:
- In a medium or large saucepan, add the oil and sauté the onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the red wine, Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Simmer for another couple of minutes.
- Now stir in the vegetable stock and the cornstarch mixture.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring for 10 to 12 minutes, until the gravy has thickened and coats the stirring spoon well. Add a little more water or stock if the gravy gets too thick.
SPAGHETTI SAUCE (AKA: RED GRAVY)
There are so many recipes for a delicious pot of spaghetti sauce, which, in my family, (and in many parts of the South Jersey region), is referred to as "gravy". Nothing is better than walking into the house on a lazy Sunday afternoon to the enticing aroma of a big pot of tomato heaven. Here is my recipe for a smooth sauce filled with a great assortment of meats and spices. With some preparation in the beginning and a few voluntary hands to stir the pot throughout the day, this comfort meal will not dissapoint. Salut! and enjoy...

Steps:
- In a large dutch oven or 8 quart pot. briefly cook garlic and olive oil.
- Place fresh sausage and neck bones in pot.
- Add desired amounts of salt and pepper to meats.
- Add enough of the 2 qts. of water to cover meats in the pot, (not all of the water may be used). Cover and cook on low-medium for at least an hour. Do not allow water to boil; this will toughen meats.
- Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot and stir. Begin with 4 cans and add the last can according to desired thickness, remembering that sauce will thicken as it cooks.
- Add spices, again according to taste, and stir. More may be added as sauce cooks.
- Stir frequently and keep on low to medium heat, making sure sauce never boils. Continue to cook for at least 4 hours; sauce may cook longer if desired.
- Homemade or store-prepared meatballs may be added to pot.
- Serve over pasta, raviolis, or as a base to lasagnas and zitis.
HOMEMADE ITALIAN RED GRAVY
A tradition homemade red gravy should be made with meat, specifically pork and veal. I use pork and veal neck bones for added flavor. Instead of sugar and water, I use a little more tomato paste than usual plus Chianti and minced onion. Fresh herbs are vital to the outcome of the flavor, so throw away any of your dried herbs, they're crap. I also use grated cheese, it's a nice touch, especially if you're using the sauce for pasta. (Note: The amount of meatballs depends on how much meat you use and how big you make them. I use a little over a pound of meat and that usually translates to 8-16 meatballs.) VARIATION: Instead of frying neck bones, and if you have more time on your hands, you can braise a couple of good pork and veal shanks in red wine and let them soak in the sauce.
