HOW TO MAKE SUNDAY GRAVY

Steps:

• For the meatballs, mix the ground beef, ricotta cheese, parmesean, bread crumbs, egg, milk, 1/3 cup fresh basil and salt together. Knead the mixture with your hands until thoroughly combined. Roll into 2 inch meatballs and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven at 400 until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• In a large pot, pour in the strained tomatoes, wine/sparkling grape juice, sugar, dried chilies and salt. Bring to a small boil.
• When the meatballs are cooked, stir them in the gravy.
• In a frypan, heat the oil and cook the sausages until they are cooked mostly through. Stir them in the gravy.
• In the same frypan, sear the ribs for a few minutes on each side. Stir them in the gravy.
• In the frypan, add the onions, sweet red pepper, celery and garlic. You may need to add a bit more oil if the pan is dry. Also, as the veggies are cooking, this is a great opportunity to 'deglaze' the pan. There are a lot of great flavours on the base of this pan and they need to get in the gravy. Pour in a little bit of water (1/2 cup) and scrape the bottom of the pan to pull up all the bits that are packed with flavour. Once the veggies are soft, pour it all into the gravy.
• Cook the gravy at a low to medium simmer for about 4 hours, or longer.
• Cook the spaghetti or other pasta according to directions on package
• Serve the Sunday gravy with the cooked pasta.
