Sunday Gravy

Cultural Context

Sunday Gravy, also known as Sugo di Domenica, is a traditional Italian-American dish typically served on Sundays. It is a hearty tomato sauce made with various meats and is often enjoyed with pasta. This dish reflects the Italian-American culinary tradition of slow-cooked sauces that bring families together for a communal meal. Its origins can be traced back to Southern Italy, where similar sauces were made, but it has evolved in the United States to include a variety of meats and flavors.
