Tomato Sauce Guest Post with Curt

Thursday, January 13, 2011
Traditional Sunday Sauce "The Next Generation", is my son's Curt's version! This has three kinds of meats, boneless fried spare ribs (shown), Italian homemade Sausage and Italian Sunday morning meatballs inside this bubbling pot of wonderful sauce. A very thick, delicious sauce, with fresh pureed plum tomatoes, fresh herbs and lots of meat, slowly cooked for a minimun of two hours.



Curt has learned to cook and loves it! He has an amazing talent for recreating recipes. This is his own recipe for sauce adapted from the ones he grew up on with my mom and myself. He has done an awesome job! It's delicious! It's so amazing to see his creative talents in the kitchen. Proud mama here!

  5. Grand job - I always use a lot of bones - the fried spare ribs is inspiring. The idea that one can find fresh plum tomatoes makes me weak. How I miss them. That thick, rich sauce would have a place of honor at my table.

  6. While we didn't generally make our own sausage, this is so like my own family recipe for Sunday sauce. Ours had to have neck bones for flavor, but spare ribs often made their way into the pot. And homemade cavatelli reminded me of the Easter my mom and I made 5 pounds. My hands were like dead weights the next day. A delicious Sunday meal--or any day, for that matter.

  9. Did I mention that I often with I was Italian? Traditions like making "Sunday Sauce" filled with awesome meats and tossed over fresh pasta makes me want to adopt these for myself. Great job to your son for adapting the family recipes :) Looks like a feast!

  10. Claudia, I'm first trying to get over the shock of the fact that your son is no child...he's looks like he's old enough to take over the kitchen! Now, why in the world did I think you had very young kids? It must be that you and Hubby look so young!

    Anyhow...back to that very appetizing sauce...whatever the pinch he used or which recipe...it now certainly is now his own...congrats Curt ;o)

    Have a great day,
    Claudia

  22. Claudia, I love your version of Sunday Sauce or gravy as some Italian-Americans call it. It must make you feel so fantastic that your son is enjoying the art of cooking, especially your family recipes! My adult kids each have their own cookbook that I add recipes to every year and they'e become quite good gourmands! It does my heart proud! LOL!

  28. You do need to research your family tree, there must be ties to numerous generations of great cooks. You knew some of them but I am sure there are many more you can discover!
    Glad to see Curt bringing us your traditional family recipes with his own special twist.
    The sauce looks amazing as well as the last picture of that plating-delicious! Great teamwork. Enjoy the weekend!
