How to Make Nonna's Sunday gravy
- Crush the whole tomatoes by hand in a large bowl.
- Heat enough olive oil in the bottom of a heavy dutch oven to lightly coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot add garlic and fry for about 45 seconds - not until brown. .
- Add pre-crushed tomatoes and then the hand-crushed tomatoes, let them "fry" for 2-3 minutes.
- Add pork bone, and all spices; stir well and add the cheese and wine. Bring all ingredients to a strong simmer, cover and cook on VERY LOW heat for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally
- If adding meatballs, sausage, bracioli, let gravy cook at least 2 hours before adding.
