This Homemade Sicilian Red Sauce gets simmered for hours with meatballs, Italian sausage, and melt-in-your-mouth pieces of tender slow cooked pork. Traditionally served on Sundays, this iconic Italian recipe is perfect for big family gatherings, special occasions or any night of the week. I come from a big Sicilian American family, and gathering on Sundays to eat pasta with red sauce and slowly cooked meats has always been a tradition in our family. My great grandparents came to America as Italian immigrants and brought their Sunday ritual for making "pasta sugo" along with them.
