Re: ok..Italians out there- the red "stuff" you put on pasta,

it is just probably in the way it was translated from the italian

I call it sauce.

I've never heard it called gravy in Italy

but I've never heard it called SAUCE either Chat Icon

I have to agree with gravy conjuring some gross images though. I hate that word in generally.

I'm not italian, but DH is. His grandma and the older generation in his family mostly say gravy. His mom alternates between them. He and his sisters all call is sauce.

Maybe it's a regional thing? My grandparents are from different parts of Italy (born and raised there). One set said sauce (Sosa Chat Icon ) the other said gravy. Meatballs and anything else you throw in the pot are "gravy meat."Chat Icon
