Soprano’s Sunday Gravy (Spaghetti Sauce), Badda-bing badda-boom Its a thing of beauty This recipe is not a fast one, its an all afternoon dinner; But it is definitely worth it From The Soprano Family Cookbook, GREAT recipe!! I made it as written the first time and it was very nice but I prefer my changes use just pork ribs and double the meatballs (veal chops are too pricey and I like the meatballs way more than I like Italian sausage) The meat from neck bones is super tasty but the neck bones break off into little pieces that are a pain to strain out of the sauce, so I stick with ribs use more garlic and I leave it in the sauce, plus two chopped onions, and half wine and half water (sometimes red, sometimes white – whatever I have on hand) I change up the cheese that goes in the meatballs depending on what’s on sale – pecorino, grana padano, romano, etc all work very nicely Because I double the meatballs use the entire bunch of parsley Plain breadcrumbs work okay but for my taste I prefer using Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs This is really a fabulous recipe and it’s easily customizable , Anybody tried this in an Instant Pot? Cook on high pressure for about 50 minutes Thoughts?
