I ate spaghetti at my grandparents house EVERY SUNDAY. Everyone was welcome at this table. The tradition of the DiMarino sauce is something hard to capture. It's about so much more than the sauce. My grandfather was literally making sauce when he died. I used to go over early and eat sauce sandwiches. The dogs beards were permanently stained red from eating leftover spaghetti. My uncle makes sauce that tastes identical to my grandparents and NOTHING tastes better. It is the definition of the best sauce in the world to me. People would come over to the family dinner and would no joke talk about it for the rest of their lives. That sauce was love.

Your story makes me very sad that I've never been to dinner with an Italian family. I feel very deprived!

Greatly enjoyed.. " the dogs beards were permanently stained red from eating leftover spaghetti" Let's be honest, the dogs lived their best life! Your story is heart-warming, Dan❤ Also, spaghetti is my favorite food. I think I'm gonna name my next 2 pets spaghetti and meatball 😊

@@becc8617 That’s maybe a female thing with nonna, not to be sexist at all. But if you don’t eat it all it’s like an insult to her cooking all day and the guilt/ drama comes in 🤣✌️

I made this a few weekends in a row last year and let me tell you it's time consuming but absolutely worth it. You get leftovers for days that reheat incredibly well, the sauce itself freezes and reheats great, and so on. My mom's side of the family is Greek so I definitely spent plenty of Sundays getting stuffed with yia yia's dolmades and spanakopita, but this is on another level.

Oh maaaaaan, I’m DROOLING. This seems like a great way to spend a day in the kitchen!

So…just my experience with this recipe, folks…I set aside last Sunday to make this sauce..11/24/2023…. First…it turned out AMAZING..!! I used the same three meats that Chef Steve used… BUT…I used a Dutch oven to seer them…using a low pan like in the video will create a splattery mess, IMO… (but it’s a kitchen, I get it)…. I also used 1 large can of Nina’s tomatoes from Costco and 2 28-oz can of San Marzanos…also from Costco… Crushed by hand, no food mill… The sauce reduced quite a bit over the 7-9 hours that I cooked it, but MY LORD, was it OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD… Some good pasta, wine and high-quality Parmesano reggiano and you get some serious grub for you and your loved ones… A lot of work, but waaaay worth it, IMO… Kudos to the chef from NY..!! You hit this one outta the park, Sir…. Definitely the best cooking channel on Ytube…Cheers from Ohio….

My mother made Sunday sauce every week, and the whole house was filled with the delicious aroma and the windows in the kitchen would be fogged up from the condensation from the long simmering sauce. No jar sauce can ever come close to the flavor of my mother's and grandmother's homemade sauce. And yes, there was always a loaf of Italian bread for dipping while the sauce cooked. I miss them and those days. I think I'll make some sauce this weekend.

This looks so good, the ricotta garnish is just that extra thing that really takes it next level!

Growing up Sicilian if I meet non-Italians they would always ask me if we cooked our sauce for hours. And I would tell them that if you add meat other than meatballs and sausage then it's called a ragu. If you don't use all of the meat then it's sugo/sauce. I love adding the ricotta cheese the meatballs. Delicious!!! Great video as usual.

I love you, I love your recipes. But I am a kosher vegetarian and I used to help my best friend growing up, she was Sicilian and her dad was a butcher, we made briaciole for the gravy. Her mother had a 24" platter that we made antipasto on. Laura & I would help peel the skin off the roasted peppers and we rolled the meats and cheeses that were put around the edge of the platter. The peppers, olives, and giardiniera went in the middle. I learned all the tricks of an Italian mother.

Been watching this channel for a few years now and it's so nice to see it grow. You consistently put out high quality and professional recipes with a great amount of respect for tradition. Keep it up man, greetings from Belgium

This channel deserves millions of subscribers! I’m a fan since years and the quality is constantly top notch Cheers from San Diego California

I love the technique of starting the tomato sauce, then searing the meats separately! Brilliant. Also, frying the basil is interesting, will try. Thank you Stephen, you always have slick methods.

I love how you take the essential foundation of the sauce that everyone Italian grew up with and , but add technique and nuances that just kick up to a way higher level. I am definitely trying this!

Just want to thank you for all these Italian American recipes. I grew up in a very Italian family and every sunday my great grandparents, to grandparents, to parents and aunts/uncles did a sunday night dinner with ingredients and technique similar to yours. I don't really see any other recipes like this on youtube that emulate that feeling of MY home's cooking and you pretty much always seem to nail it on the head. I'm definitely going to be doing this sometime soon, over the years we lost our traditional sunday dinners and I've been missing it so much.

I’ve waited for this for sooo long. There is something so refreshing about hearing how other people make their sauce. The little differences are like learning about someones family history. all agree though that the bread dip is absolutely necessary 😊

This looks amazing. I absolutely love the 50beef/50veal combo for meatballs (and meatloaf!). My grandma would make sunday sauce with sausage, meatballs, and bone-on short ribs too and it was always so incredible. I've been wanting to try to make the ribs like her and I think if I follow this video I'll nail it.

Crushing it bro. Love everything you do. Videos are entertaining and educational, and of the half dozen or so of your dishes that I’ve made, everything has been delicious. Thanks for making the world a better place!

Made this yesterday for our Sunday Supper. It was amazing! The sauce is so much better and more flavorful when cooked like this - for hours on end. Definitely will make this on a regular basis.

Working on my first ever Sunday Sauce and my house is smelling amazing! Excited to have the finished product. Thank you!

No, I'm not Italian but from experience,( and growing up in New Jersey in an Italian neighborhood) the meal is only as good as the sauce. This was fabulous! I'd spend the entire day making this. I've had some delicious Italian food where I'm from. RIP Dino's mom, that lady could cook!

Sunday sauce gotta simmer all day w the balls, ribs, sausage

Dude, today is Tuesday and my day off. I made this for my family. Used blade steak instead of short rib, it turned out AMAZING, everyone loved it. Thank you Steve

This channel is the best! Definitely got me motivated to cook a new Italian dish almost every day during the pandemic. Got to the point now that yesterday I cooked home made egg fresh lasagna sheets with a Venice style fish sauce and bechamel 😅

Thus was everything I hoped for in a Sunday Sauce! It was very similar to how my friends grandmother made her sauce for Sunday dinner. Wonderful video, thank you.

I made the Sunday sauce yesterday & it turned out so delicious Thank u 4 all ur knowledge & recipes Everything I have made from u so far has been spot on❤️

That looks absolutely amazing, I'd definitely overeat this.

I have been debating what pans to get when I move in a few weeks, so glad you’re doing the promotion with made-in as they were one of my top options!

@notanothercookingshow, I absolutely love your videos. you do a good job at making the viewer feel like they are in your kitchen and you are talking to them. Very entertaining and your recipes look amazing. Keep it up.

I made this today..without the fried basil leaves but it was one of the best sauces and I learned some improvements on my usual sauce. My boyfriend ate two bowls. Sooo good thanks for the recipe.

I truly enjoyed this meal preparation. Some of my favorite recipes allow me to multitask between steps( I.e., braising the short ribs for hours). There is nothing better than starting my recipe, preparing the next few ingredients, sitting and reading for a while, and checking my pot in between. I love to “ piddle” at home⭐️

You are the right person for this job of teaching the public. Congratulations on so much success in such a short time. Your channel a Keeper!

That Sunday supper was a good video! Been making your chicken wing recipe as well, very good. Thanks man!

I love how you cooked the meats @ different times & layered the flavors.

love everything you do man, you should be so proud for this channel you have created! thanks for it !

Another great one brother. My pasta making has been next level since I started watching your videos. Seriously!

Thank you for teaching me how to cook! Very grateful Mr. Cusato! Can’t wait to make this! Yah!

Your recipes never disappoint! Thank you for yet another winner!!

For meatballs I always use a mixture of ground beef, veal, and pork equal parts. Turns out beautiful! I use the same meat mix for meatloaf too! Definitely wanna try my hand making homemade gravy (sauce) instead of my ol’ standby Rao’s

We usually used them in the restaurant alley for cig buds and roaches but a flower pot works too ;)

My relationship with NACS now feels complete. Thanks for making such a simplified version of what we all wanted. It’s all about quality tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic.

Such a great video to watch. Brings back a lot of memories including the great smell of the sauce cooking when walking into Grandma’s house. She used beef, pork and veal in her meatballs. I’m sure your Grandma is telling everyone in heaven….. That’s MY grandson cooking my food! Deliciouso.

Thanks for sharing your family recipe! Looks good!

Oh my ! Absolutely perfect! My mouth is slavating super yum!

You Sir are one amazing chef and the stories between all brings back memories Thank You !!

Just another Great recipe from an Culinary Artist. Thank you for sharing.

Looks delicious! I use short ribs to make my gravy too! Good food takes time. Thanks for the video!

Most underrated cooking show on the internet 👏👏👏👏

I grew up eating Sunday Sauce every Sunday for 35 years but I never made my own until yesterday. Your video really inspired me to go for it and I'm so glad I did. Really enjoy your vids.

Just found this channel. Italian is my favority cuisine and I'm happy I found this channel. Many of the recipes are identical to what my mother-in-law (Sicilian) used to make.

Love this on so many levels! Thanks for this!

Thanks young brotha... i have been since i was 14/15 (48 now) and have watched a lot of cooking shows. Me and my daughter thats 3 enjoys your videos. Stay creative and keep cooking.

Love the sponsorship with the new pans. Perfect for your channel. I need to own that pan you finished the pasta in!

LOVE! And, the pop up video was amazing 🙏❤

thank you Steve for all the after tips

Looks amazing! Yum!

Wow that looks amazing!!!!!

Been waiting on this one since your first Sunday supper, gonna try it next week.

Looks delicious! In my family we had fried chicken, fresh (or home canned when fresh) green beans, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, and homemade biscuits every Sunday at my maternal grandparents house. They had 8 children and 32 grandchildren so it was a large affair. I like seeing/hearing about the different variations people use in their Sunday sauce/gravy. One of my new co workers (911) is from Brooklyn and she makes her Sunday gravy every 3 weeks when we are on our long stretch off. She makes a ton. I haven’t asked her exactly how she makes it but I do know she cooks it all day and if I remember correctly she said she lets hers sit out for so many hours before canning it. I’ve had it and it is fantastic! She brings us a quart jar every time she makes it.

I LOVE MADE IN!

Looks so good! Thank you sir!

That's Art! ❤ 😍 You are amazing!

Very nice Steve, Grandma would be proud!

Brother fantastic show, even my girls are captivated by your presentation. Ironically I do my Sunday gravy exactly the same except for the ricotta in the meatballs. I'm old school and still use day-old Italian bread soaked in milk along with the other ingredients of course. Good stuff man, I think everybody's proud of you I can't wait till you hit the big screen

Gorgeous sauce

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Nice to see that Rondeau in action. I've been thinking of getting one. I have other Made In products and they are really great. Very high quality.

That looks so delicious!

Bro, ...this is the best cooking show I've found. I'm from the the South and "comfort foods" is a big part of southern cuisine that being said I've spent time up NYC (Brooklyn, long Island) and was blessed with some traditional Italian cooking. Brother it was love at 1st mouthful. My favorite thing was probably the eggplant n chicken parmesan. The deli's y'all have are bangin af also. I plan on preparing one of your recipes for a Sunday family supper I just haven't decided which one yet. 10 outta 10 bro, keep em coming. God bless

😋🤤 mouth watering… so many good tips in this! Thank you for sharing 🙏

Awesome video! I am 100% making this on Sunday! I'm a big fan of the Dinapoli tomatoes too.

I have to try the meatballs with Ricotta sounds fabulous

My grandma puts pepperoni in the sauce along with the meatballs and sausage. It adds an incredible flavor unlike anything else I've ever eaten. I woud highly recommend.

That looks great yum

I bought the Rondeau today! Thank you for the discount, Chef!

i gotta make this looks absolutely amazing

Major drooling happening right now! Thanks for inspiring me to try some of these.

Loved this. Always make my meatballs with beef and either veal or lamb. Makes them "softer" somehow. Great recipe here.

Perfect timing. I'm shopping for a new saucier and clad fry pan. These look like they're made well. Great price!

Beautiful meal!❤

Amazing!

This was great! Thanks so much! Want to get to your pop up Sunday dinner!!! (Was taught to make Barese meatballs with white bread soaked in milk instead of breadcrumbs.)

Looks sooooooooo good

What a labor of love!

Dude. This looks _SO_ good. I already know my Mom would never allow me to tie up her kitchen for so long. The complaints would be everlasting. She has no patience whatsoever for anyone else cooking. I remember it would take several hours, with me starving the whole time, for her to complete lavish feasts when I was a child. She would bar Children from the kitchen, saying, "No, this is for later!" She remembers those times completely differently, she says we were ALWAYS welcome to eat anytime we were hungry. I remember being told to get out, under pain of death until I was summoned. Today she complains that I cook too slowly, that I don't know how to prioritize. I'd have to go to my Aunt's house to cook as you've shown here. Maybe next year?
