Jarred "gravy"????
Alright, I'm ready with a shield to deflect all the tomatoes that will be thrown at me.. but I just have to say that Paul Newman's Marina sauce is absolutely delicious!!!!! I haven't had any time to make a sauce (in fact, will one of you real Italians post a good recipe for me?)... so I have used not only his Marina sauce but the Vodka sauce as well which is so good over tortellini. I just had to share.. I'm ducking now...

lol...my favorite when i was little was plain prince spaghetti sauce with sweet potatoes and regular potatoes added...maybe a little basil....i was so mad when they stopped making prince sauce.
who the heck has time to make homemade sauce!? lolololol.....
i just buy the organic brand now...lol and since there aren't a lot of italians that i know out here, whenever i make my stuffed shells my friends think i made the sauce, lololol!!!
one time a friend was afraid to cook me pasta because i'm part italian....i'm like "i'm only a quarter!"

You're right.. they are lucky to get any food at all from us! (haha)
Guy used to make sauce (gravy whatever) and used to put whole potatoes in it and it was my favorite part.. he also used to put boiled eggs in there.. never heard of that...

You won't find me hurling any rotten tomatoes at ya, friend. Even I only make "real" gravy a few times a year for special occasions...for everyday use, there are some Classico jarred sauces that are really, really good. George used to make the most awesome calamari gravy for Christmas Eve dinner...pity he never wrote down the recipe, but I am diligently scouring his mother's hundreds of cookbooks for the clues!
