This authentic recipe for Italian Sunday gravy (sauce) – or sugo, as my family calls it – is a rich tradition that’s been passed down from a Sicilian family for generations. It’s a homemade red sauce that gets simmered for hours with meatballs, Italian sausage, and melt-in-your-mouth pieces of tender slow cooked pork.
