My mother has been gone now for over 22 years and she was a wonderful cook. She would have been 90 years old!
She made the best sauce with meatballs, sausage, brigole, pork blade and hard boiled eggs. M'mmmmm!
She made everything else too but, man I miss the sauce!
She would start early on a Saturday morning and we wouldn't have the sauce til Sunday afternoon. The sauce would simmer all day & night til we were ready to eat on Sunday afternoon. The love and seasonings that she put into the HUGE Kettle would be her trademark.
No one elses sauce tastes like Ma's. Not my wife nor her mother or sisters. My sister's is very, very close but, I don't live with her!
Not saying that these ladies don't make Great Sauce, but, they each have their own flavor and personality. I am happy to sit down to a plate of their sauce/pasta anytime!
Ma, would have either, ravioli, stuffed shells, manicotti, or rigatoni/ziti, lasagna. My favorite is thin spaghetti but not angel hair. My Dad love her lasagna! Dad would have been 101 years old
Man, I could just sit there with a loaf of fresh Italian bread and dunk in the sauce.
I miss Ma alot, not only for her cooking but, because she loved me with all of her heart!
I guess you can tell my background and upbringing!
