There is always a debate on what this delicious stuff on top of pasta is called sauce or gravy?
Is there a right and wrong?
People will argue for hours to project their upbringing and hometown nicknames or love for this fabulous topping for macaroni.
Growing up in the East Utica area of the U.S., our family always made sauce from real tomatoes, not canned sauce which it states on the can itself as tomato sauce,
Tomato or Crushed Tomatoes, whole tomatoes, tomato paste, we all make ours differently from Region to Region of Italy, it's no wonder many names hit the US to make the sauce, and gravy to become such a debate.
But is there a difference between the two names, sauce or gravy?
There is no difference at all except for the family history in the area you grew up in from the hundreds of interviews I discovered.
The sauce is primarily just that, the topping on pasta, and gravy came from traditions passed on by different parts of the country as well.
Still today, it will be one of the most heated debates on food, no matter where you live, it's called one or the other.
Honestly, just ladle it on my pasta, it's all good to me and whatever you do, don't be late for the dinner table!
