Curious about the wonderer gravy

I'm only up to your post, Kathy... but in case no one has filled in the blanks yet...

My never fail recipe for gravy/marinara sauce/sketti sauce.

1/3 -1/2 c of olive oil
Sautee the following in the bottom of a pot
3 good heaping tbsp of basil (fresh is best)
3 tbsp of oregano
3 tbs of parsley
2 fresh garlic minced (you can used powdered if you need to, just don’t tell me)
1/2 an onion finely diced

Sauté the above until it turns very slightly brown. (You have to be careful at this point because it’s easy to get the herbs to burn… have your three cans of crushed tomatoes open and at the ready…)

(Some people might add a little bit of red wine)

Then quickly add 3-4 cans of crushed tomatoes.

Simmer on low heat for ~2 hours and keep stirring to avoid burning.

(You can cook it for as little as 30-45 mins but I think the flavor really comes out with a longer simmer)

Salt and pepper to taste.

Midwest calls it red sauce, spaghetti sauce, or marinara (if no meat)... East Coast (at least the part where @Wonderer67 is from) calls it gravy.

So anticlimactic...but I like spaghetti so it's cool

Yeah, I know... it's like when I talk about having a protein shake... it's Orgain and frozen fruit.

And then @Wonderer67 says:
Hehe - you said, "Protein shake"

Now, if I take this load of laundry out of the dryer and into the bedroom, which cat will be asleep in the basket when I come back???


Put it away? You gotta be loony.

Tdk.... esp if laundry is warm

My parents owned a variant of that when I was a kid. I remember napping in the rear window on long trips. It had to be a '60s model though but it was an absolute boat of a car. It was either before seat belts or before child seats. Seat belt law had to be around much longer than child seat law .

The talk about the recipe were more fun maybe?
But it's a good recipe - at least half the café denizens make it.
I keep it handy in case there's an opportunity for me to make it for someone else. Tomatoes are on my food intolerance list. I have to avoid all forms and amounts of tomatoes now.
While I feel much, much better avoiding them, a moment of silence as we continue to grieve the loss of:
gravy - red sauce
pizza sauce
salsa
tomato soup
minestrone soup
vegetable soup
tomato juice
ketchup
anything flavored or colored using tomato in any form

Nope, no climax in it, nor did I when I had the first serving.

I think it’s technically only gravy if you add meat of some kind into it.

Will there be a test?

 

[Wonderer67]

During Covid I started buying cauliflower every once in a while. I still do.

I am not sure why. They kinda suck. Not anywhere as good as broccoli.

When my daughter was little she used to call them “snow trees.”

Yes. Older mom scolded me when I called it gravy. I think I was shamed into putting ground beef, ground turkey or sausage in it every time I really called it gravy.

Take notes.
