View ProfileYou can practically taste the love and generations of tradition in this dish from Chef John. An authentic taste of Italian home cooking, this dish pairs incredibly tender, juicy meatballs with a handmade marinara sauce dotted with spicy Italian sausage. The secret of this dish is to let simmer everything together, so the flavors mingle and the meatballs get infused with rich tomato sauce. Whether you call it Sunday Sauce, Sunday Gravy, or something else, this is classic Italian comfort food, just like grandma used to make.
