this is great for creating a great base sauce, like a blank canvas you need to jazz up a bit. I found it helpful, then called mom to check what else to add :

This is the best authentic Italian recipe I have ever come across for traditional "Gravy and Meatballs". Frankie's recipe will now be our family tradition. This is the recipe I will pass on to my children. The gravy is perfect and the meatballs are tender and delicious! Thank you for sharing your family recipe, Frankie. It certainly is a winner in our family and I see why Emeril chose this recipe.

It was good, but if I made it again I would only use 1/2 cup bread crumbs. 1 1/2 was too much, otherwise it was tasty.

Gravy? It's supposed to be spaghetti sauce - where's the basil, oregano ect.? Why not just use catsup?

Very good recipe, I tweeked it a little to make to my own liking. It is the best base sauce I have started out with. I added more garlic to make it very close to traditional gravy....

Far too bland and acidic...add pleanty ofitalian seasoning like McCormics and more garlic and a bay leaf. I added Italian Sausage to give it some flavor.

I made it just like the recipe said.But it was bland,I added 3 cloves of garlic,love garlic.Added basil oregano,and other spices,more salt to. Well I don't cook italian hardly ever, unless it's a jar or frozen,and I really don't like that..YUK. So I shouldn't really judge this sauce to much maybe that's the way homemade sauce is really suppose to taste, kind of very tomato-ee,bland,allot of acid to the taste to it I added alittle sweet to it to equalize the acid.

I doubled the garlic, used Italian seasoned bread crumbs (because that's all I had and added 2 Tbs of McCormick's Italian seasoning. Without these additions, the meatballs and the sauce would have been incredibly bland. The meatballs were *huge*, weighing about 3 oz each (divided into 16 meatballs. I'd recommend 2 oz meatballs and just make more of them.
If you're looking for easy, this is it. This is closer to true Italian gravy (sauce than the spaghetti sauce sold in the store (e.g. Ragu, Prego.
