When I think of a gravy, what I picture is the rich brown sauce I ladle over my turkey each Thanksgiving. It’s delicious, but it’s certainly not something I associate with Italian food!
But if you grew up in an Italian family (or just an Italian neighborhood), you probably hear the word “gravy” and immediately think of Sunday gravy.
This old-fashioned Sicilian classic has been served up for decades as part of big family dinners after church — much like this flavorful squid ink dish. It’s a tomato-based sauce as rich in flavor as it is in history.
It originally came to America in a wave of Italian immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and, when translated from Italian, became labeled as a kind of gravy, because the recipe includes fats and flavors gleaned from cooking meat.
Full of savory flavor, it’s the ultimate in pasta sauces, and we can’t wait to whip up a batch of our own!
