Sauce is red belongs on pasta, polenta or for dipping Italian bread while the sauce simmers on the stove

My mother was religiously devoted to her cooking especially pasta sauce. She used combinations of pork and beef and added chunks of beef just for me ( I was her favorite) . She would let the sauce cool on the stove so that she could remove much of the grease that formed at the top.

If I called pasta sauce gravy she would have washed my mouth out with soap

And Jimmy at Lasca's calls it SAUCE as well
