Nana Pacitto’s Italian Pasta Sauce (VIDEO)
This one is dedicated to my late grandmother, “Nana” Pacitto, who I liked to refer to as my typical Italian grandmother. She was short, plump, religious, kept the house immaculate, and she cooked like a dream. Whenever she made her lasagna, people would come running for it! To this day, I will never order Italian with pasta when I go out to eat, because it could never compare with her pasta sauce. Every Italian family has their own secret recipe for pasta sauce, and this one is ours. (If Nana could see this today, I think she would have loved the idea of her pasta sauce being seen by people around the world. 🙂 )
As far as Italian pasta sauce recipes go, this one is very simple: it’s nothing more than bringing the ingredients together in a large pot, and slow-cooking it for several hours. The recipe for this sauce can be seen on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at: http://www.modemac.com/wiki/Nana_Pacittos_Homemade_Pasta_Sauce

The song that plays while making of meatballs is so lit 😂 I love it!
I'm with you, I NEVER order Italian food when I eat out. Too disappointing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful
tribute to your Nana.
Thank you for sharing!
This is very similar to the sauce my Mom made. She added chicken and she browned the chicken and pork chops. She said the flavor came from the slow cooking, the bones (marrow as in soups) and browning added additional flavor.
My favorite memory was taste testing throughout the day with a loaf of Italian bread that stayed next to the pot. 🤤
OH MY GOD!!!! THAT LOOKS HEAVENLY DIVINE ! 😍😋😋😋😍👍👍
I've been looking for an authentic old world style sauce and am excited to try this over the weekend. Thanks Nana!
The pasta CAN'T be without sauce. You should put all the sauce in the pasta and then "make the dishes". 😉
Since we don't have this tomato sauce brand in England do you think regular passata will work or can you think of anything else?
looks very delicous
i can't wait to try this one. Many thanks!
looks good
God bless Nana for this recipe.
