Italian Gravy image

This recipe is a homemade spaghetti meat sauce that has been passed down to 4 generations of Sicilians. The recipe has been altered by each person to fit personal preference and taste. Fresh tomatoes can be put in the place of the puree but not recommended, due to the high acidity of the fresh tomatoes.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much red pepper flakes. Next time I'll use less.
