ok who calls it gravy and who calls it sauce? and is it pasta or macaroni?

it's sauce and pasta the only thing that's not called pasta is spagetti which means long rope

It's tomato sauce and pasta. Pasta comes in different shapes, some of which are, ziti, spaghetti, linguini, elbows, rotelle, shells, lasagna, etc. etc. can't think of anymore right now.

Gravy sauce depends. Always macaroni

IT IS ALWAYS MACARONIES AND GRAVY, AND....GRAVY MEAT....

Coming from a NYC Italian -
- it's gravy and macaroni. We know that it's really supposed to be "sauce" and "pasta" but when speaking to each other we say gravy and macaroni.

It's pasta when your having pasta ***ioli

Guess you can't say f a g ioli because of the 1st 3 letters. Thats plain stupid

Don't care what you call it. Only care that it is good homecooked Italian food. Arthur Ave. here WE come.

I agree schwartz i couldnt care what its called as long as it gooooooood lol...but i guess it depends what side of the tracks you grew up on whether its sauce or gravy...next time you go to arthur ave go to roberto's the food there is to die for

How good could it be if the cook is calling it "sauce and pasta"? lol
(just joking) But, lol, I have found that home made ethnic food is always the best. I have never had gravy and macaroni at a restaurant that has been better than something made at home by women ( and men) who have perfected the art of gravy making through generations!

The difference between a gravy and a sauce. Sauce is made without meat. Gravy is made with meat or from meat. Us Italians from the Bx. always put pork in our sauce to make it gravy and cooked it longer to thicken. How I miss my Mom's gravy.

It's funny because as I write this my wife is making a batch of gravy and meatballs for tonight's dinner. My wife & I are both Jewish. Many years ago (about 30) my wife got a gravy receipe from an older Italian woman that worked with her. Our Italian friends rave about my wifes gravy. We call it gravy because that was what her co-worker called it. Tuttorosa crushed tomatos, fresh basil, fresh garlic, fresh oregano, tomato paste, pork bones are the basics. She makes a very big batch and then freezes it in small containers so that we don't have to (heaven forbid) buy jarred sauce.

We call it pasta (as do most of our Italian friends) except for spagitti which we call....spagitti

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH......I love ya's all

MADE A BIG BATCH OF MEAT BALLS AND SPAGETTI DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY AND RAVIOLI LASAGNA (A CREATION OF RACHEL RAYS THAT I TWEEKED) NOW I WON'T HAVE TO COOK TILL MONDAY. OH YEAH!

You gotta call it gravy and to be exact "Sunday Gravy" as I used to go over to my friends house and we would have supper @ 1:00 in the afternoon when we came back from church. Pass the vino!

Spagetti Day was a Marketing tool for Ronzonni.

True lovers of pasta w/sause have it whenever!

"Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day"

I stand corrected Barry!
