I can’t think of anything better than sugo and sugo Sundays! Sugo, also known as authentic Italian tomato sauce is a staple in every Italian household. If a big pot of sugo isn’t on the table every Sunday in my family, it’s just not the same. Sometimes we make the sauce plain and use it for soups, stews, lasagna, rollatini or any dish that requires tomato sauce. Other times we make it with Osso Buco (veal shanks), meatballs, ribs, breaded cutlets, or any other type of meat. The sauce simmers slowly for a few hours until the meat is tender and melts in your mouth like butter. In this recipe I show you how we make our traditional Italian Sugo with Osso Buco which I know you’ll fall in love with. If you’re vegetarian, feel free to leave out the meat and make it plain as we often do as well which is the perfect for your favorite pasta, pizza, gnocchi, and more. This traditional Italian tomato sauce has passed down from Steve’s family (from Calabria). I hope his Nonna Vittoria and Nonno Giovanni are watching down on us and we’re making them proud as we continue to carry on family traditions that have been around for generations in their family and many Italian families around the world. If you make Italian tomato sauce at home, let us know where you’re from and how you make it as well.
