My wife says this was the best sauce I've ever made. This after 10 years of trying! Thanks, can't wait to try another of your recipes. Just found you today

Love, love, love your page! Italian woman from New Rochelle NY here. Bringing me right back to my childhood. Thank you

Making this sauce today to serve to guests tomorrow! Thank you for your recipes!

Who in their right mind gives this a thumbs down? This man is a genius.

I mean this in the nicest way possible you sound like Peter griffin and that makes this video 10 times better

I’ve started making Italian following these guidelines, and I’m really appreciative. Good stuff!

I made this sauce tonight and I cannot thank you enough. This will now be how I make my meat sauce going forward. Everyone was so impressed and I was really proud.

Just a tip on the tomato paste: I open both ends of the can and just push the paste out leaving next to zero paste left in the can.

Fabulous sauce, absolutely loved it!! Will make again for sure.

This guy is amazing, I am going to try this sauce for lasagna this weekend! His Sunday gravy recipe is to die for!

I love this guy and his recipies. He needs his own TV show.

I’m definitely making this tonight. Looks so yummy 🤤 And I’ve also subscribed because these recipes look amazing. Thank you!

I can't even begin to tell you how much this recipe has changed my life. Thanks so much Jim.

made this tonight and oh my god I'm in love, thank you so much for this recipe

I can't believe how easy this was. I've made sauce in the past and decided bottled was better. NOT anymore. This is amazing. Thx

Tried this out last weekend and it was fantastic. This must be similar to how my mom used to make spaghetti because it tasted almost identical. So so good.

I love they way you explain it. It's your recipe but you make it our own.

I am dying to try it too!!! Thank you so much!

Man, I love Ragu. We had an Italian family over the back garden from us. I'll be for ever grateful to the two old Nonna's for showing my Mum how to cook meat Ragu. Scotland in the 70's?......Italian food was from another Galaxy!!

I might use Italian sausage. And for this, I’ll definitely use the onion! I was a bit surprised you used white wine instead of red. But, you know what you’re doing and I’ll do it as well! As always, this looks so hearty and delicious.

Grazie! . . . now I’m starvin’. Good segment and suggestions ☀️

You make food fit for the Gods. I haven’t enjoyed a channel so much in years. You’re awesome. Your food is awesome. You need to publish a book. You deserve it. And so does my kitchen shelf 🤭 🤘

I love this channel these recipes are A++++

Jim. Absolutely loving your channel.

That looks really really good. I know it's not very popular but I do like to finish my sauce with just a little pinch of sugar. It adds a perfect amount of sweetness.

Making some this afternoon and I am so excited!!

Looks mouth-watering good. Thanks for sharing.

Love these videos mate

Just subscribed. Ur a super-doll 4listing all the ingredients &the instructions. Keep up the good work, cuz some of us need 2learn how2 cook. A million thanx.

This looks great

I subscribed immediately after watching this video. Sauce looks amazing.

This is almost exactly how I make mine, but I have to omit both the onion and garlic due to allergies, and I add a little fresh basil right before letting it simmer. If I don't have any wine, I'll put a little balsamic vinegar in right after getting the tomato paste heated up and let that cook out, then add the tomatoes. I use it for several things, regular pasta, lasagna, even in place of pizza sauce, or just heating some up and dipping homemade cheese bread into it. Looks amazing!

How did I become addicted to this channel from watching 5 mins of this video? Not complaining 😂

This is a dream 😍 craving this so much 😱

Looks tremendous!

Looks amazing! I suppose I'll need to make this for the Eagles game on Sunday. Thank you Sir.

Nice job. Thank you.

Another delicious dish.

Literally made the best meat sauce I’ve ever made with the help of this video. Thank you!

I love it!! This is an awesome recipe and not really hard to make either. I'm all about the pasta! (Oh and Bread... gotta have a good crusty bread for dipping!!!😄)

Going to make this tomorrow.

Found your channel a few days ago. We made the spaghetti and meat sauce. We followed the recipe, simmered for 2 1/2 hours. Outstanding! Thank you. Looking forward to tomorrow , to see how the flavors come together. Here in Southern Missouri, variety for pasta at the local market is a little thin. The next on the menu, Sunday gravy. 😁

i been using the fire roasted crushed tomatoes x2 to 1 whole tomatoes like you said its all about what you like i did double the onion an garlic cant go wrong either way

Omd that looks lush I wanna eat that right now,I love Italian food I'm goin to make this sauce,new subscriber only just found you. Top marks for the sauce 👌 👏

I'm starving!!! Looks delish....

OMG!!!! I have to make this one tomorrow!!!!

Amazing recipe. So simple but so good. Used it to make Jim's lasagna. 5 stars out of 5 for both. Beyond reproach!

my lady is going to love this!! making it tonight thanks brother!!

NOW THAT'S A SPOON!

Great classic gravy. I’d love to see your take on a puttanesca

Oh wow. I just found your channel yesterday and I love how you cook! You have very similar techniques to me. And I buy so much from Costco too! This looks delicious!

This is going on the meal list this week!

Ok. My Italian grandma from Naples taught us grand kids to use lots of crushed red pepper for heat, basil and an additional sweet white onion left whole to sweeten and cut the tang of all the tomatoes, and oregano and lots of Parmesan cheese at the end. Cook and stir for 4 hours! (My mother used to call it the “4 hour gravy”!) 😊Mmmmm yum! 😋

Just wanted to let you know as others have that your keep it simple with simple ingredients recipes have hit a real niche for us home cooks. I've made several of your dishes and none have failed to get compliments. You cook a lot like I do except you were smart enough not to make the recipes a 10 ingredient lab experiment like I was doing. Now that i've cut back on the complexity, the dishes are coming out with better flavor and certainly better consistency. Keep it up and I will find out how to support the channel.

jim watching this and it sooo takes me back to my dad. mom died 1981 / dad died 1983 . he was the master of chili and pasta dishes.and of course eggs lololol... dads chilli/pasta meat dishes were OVER LOADED with any kinda of meat you could cut up and put in a pot...pork/beef/sausages hot med. mild. / pepperoni fresh to sticks.../ venison..deer/ elk / moose it wouldnt surprise me if he put anchovies in it too .. his chillies/ sauces /pasta dishes.. was a SERIOUS MEAT MEAL all on its own.... you didnt have room for breads/salads or dessert. and until you were in agony from being full or your gut phyicaly extended... he wasnt happy.... he wanted you to get the FULL EXPERIENCE literally, lololol . i soo miss him, and what severed it even futher is ,,,,,i lost my oldest bro and oldest sister all in a yrs time...and his wife. now waiting on my sisters hubs to join her...its been a rough yr already. but.... i wanted to share with you my dads idea of meat sauces...lololol .. oh and he wasnt itailian.... he was french canadian. have a great wkend;];] love your channel;];];]

We have a very similar cooking style you're awesome glad I found your Channel.

I’m in awe at the size tins you use, in the UK we call these catering sized tins!

This guy's so skilled at cooking he can talk about cooking without moving his lips. True dedication.

Thanks

You’re a regular guy, not a chef who knows his Italian food and how to cook it! i love it! Coming from an Italian household, I’m very impressed

So I saw your baked meatballs vs fried and Yooo!! Baked is the way to go. So good.

My family and I wanted to do an Italian Christmas dinner this year! I was so worried about getting the perfect recipe for meat sauce and lasagna but this looks like it’s what I was looking first to make our perfect Christmas dinner. I’m gonna use this and the lasagna recipe! Any thoughts on garlic bread recipes?!

You're such a chill guy and great cook, I'm very glad I bumped into your channel. This seems tasty as always! I really need to get a Dutch oven:p

Looks BANGING dude

another great job

New Zealand wine FTW.

Instead of adding pork, I add pieces of Genoa salami for a bit more fat and flavour. Love the channel!

Ive found I like to add finely diced jalapenos and mushrooms into my meat sauce along with the standard onion ect, It gives it a unique flavor that is quite tasty some and it has a bit of spiciness which is always welcome.

Dude… been running through all your videos and loving everyone of them. Dry White wine though? I was blown away. I’m curious, I just made a riff on sausage and peppers with a dry red and was curious if you’ve ever done this with red wine instead? Thanks in advance!

one of the best recipes I've had also since I'm Armenian I added bell peppers and parsley lol

i watch your videos with a glass of wine--for inspiration, and just to unwind.

I got a pound of ground beef and a pound of sweet sausage at the farmers market yesterday and am going to make Lasagna for dinner tonight. I am going to use this recipe for the sauce...just need to get some wine (might use a red instead). I think it going to be really good.

Picked up those CENTO's for the first time in the Midwestern market (Ohio) and applied them boys to my standard spicy creole red pasta (it has no name). Boy has that improved the overall texture of the pasta. Handsqueezing is new to me.

It's interesting how you forego the Italian spices.

Great video. I've navigated the series. But I don't recall you adding pasta water to the sauce. Did I miss something? When is is appropriate or recommended? Thanks so much. I've learned a lot. I must rely on you because the family experts have long since passed. Thanks again and God Bless.

I love your channel! You’re an amazing cook! I have 1 question: Why do you use white wine instead of red wine in this sauce??

Yeah, that’s the way to do it!

you the man

Your ragù di carne macinata looks delizioso! I also use ground veal in addition to the ground beef and pork. 😊🇮🇹🇨🇦

I’m definitely making this but would like to make enough to have leftovers to store for multiple dishes. How do you recommend storing the sauce? And how long can it be stored either refrigerated and or frozen? Recently found your channel and I gotta say the content is fantastic! You do a great job of breaking down all the steps to make some delicious dishes. Do you have any videos showing how to make an Alfredo sauce? Thanks for the great content!

He gives you the explicit steps, follow him or not. I choose to follow this man.

What is the total simmering time for your meat sauce recipe? Love your channel. Your recipes are amazing.

Holy shit.. you are bringing the flavors… xoxo love the fam ❤️ wow… thank you. From little ol’ Illinois.

My Mom always used to add a couple of bay leaves to her sauces. Do you think this adds flavor to meat sauce or not so much? Love all your recipes & videos. I have noticed that I salivate as soon as I see the latest recipe. I take this as a compliment to your cooking skills. If only there was smellavision it would be amazing.

Looking jacked here bro

I only ever use your recipes now when cooking Italian, love your videos and recipes! ❤

I like that you keep the fat in. Too many people are afraid to do so, but it imparts flavor. (Yes, too much is no good) but it’s kind of like pasta e fagioli, I throw the whole can of beans in there, I don’t care, I think it makes it more “fazooli” richness (plus great cheese). Also, I add a little beef stock to my meat sauce. I like the way you cook!

This Sauce Hands down was Amazing 👏 🙌 Thank You!!!

Great sauce! Can you tell me if cento tomatoes are real San Marzzano? Here in Canada they are labelled DOP. Thanks love your show

heck yeah!

SUPREME!

One thing that is overlooked with some of your recipes is how they scale up and down the finance spectrum. You could go all out with organic ingredients, DOP tomatoes, grass finished beef and heritage pork. Or, you can go with more affordable ingredients. Either way you come out with a lot of food for your family!

damn near got married again for this sauce!

You are going to get famous

I concur. Living in NY I was so spoiled on all the tasty bread. Living in Berkley ca. no joy no bread

I used 80/20 and ground pork, followed the video, my sauce did not have same consistency before I added tomatoes...it was thin and slightly runny, I added tomatoes, the liquid rose to the top. Did I use too much olive oil? Or should I have drained a little of the fat? I was very frustrated with my effort, the sauce looks amazing....any input greatly appreciated from any and all...thanks. Awesome channel!

Cento is 5.99 a can in Arizona. Jan 2024. I do not use wine. I’m wondering if chicken broth could be substituted ?

Cooler weather has arrived and I am ready to make some of your awesome recipes, starting with this meat sauce. Since I have Italian sausage, what are your thoughts on using it in place of the ground pork?

Love your recipes ...thank you for your videos. Can you tell me about your cutting board...brand, size, type of wood. Thanks.

Found you on tik tok love the food going makes some tomorrow
