"This recipe came from Southern Italy around the 1900's. This is a very nice and thick sauce not running all over the plate. If it's not thick, you didn't cook it long enough. It's great on all dishes that uses spaghetti sauce.I always make at least 1/1/2 gallons of this sauce at a time.It freezes very well in containers. I use containers like the size of the large country crock butter bowl, enough for 4-8 servings at a time and use it when you feel the urge for this sauce. I always try to use it up in 6 months or so, then start all over making another batch."

  1. I was lured by the recipe because it was from 1900's Italy and the pork neck bone 'cause I had never had any of those. I am SO GLAD this recipe caught my eye. It is SOOOOO GOOD!!!!! I loved that all the ingredients were stuff normally kept on hand. It was thick and decadent and soooo perfect! I don't think I've had better in any restaurant. An added bonus was that I got to find out that I love pork neck bones...now to find other recipes I can use those in. Thanks so much for this over the top spaghetti sauce recipe!** Note: hot pepper flakes were listed twice so I went with 1 1/2 tablespoons as first listed...it had a bit of kick...but not to spicy I couldn't eat it.

  2. Excellent ! The packages of frozen Pork neckbones were running a bit over 2 1/2 lbs. so my sauce is probably meater than called for. I don't mind. I used homemade tomato sauce. (my recipe #76752) Other than these 2 things I went "by the book". It was fun to prepare. I enjoyed loafing at the table sipping Chianti and picking the bones, one has to go slowly and carefully to avoid getting bone fragments in with the meat. It's at least a 2 glass job. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) I served it over Angelhair pasta with a Tomato - fresh Mozzarella salad and Chianti. The left overs I froze in small zip lock bags, 1 cup per bag. I froze the bags spread out on a baking sheet. Tomorrow I'll collect them and store them in a gallon zip lock bag(s) to keep a semblance of order in the freezer. I will be keeping a supply of this fine sauce in the freezer at all times. Thanx for posting this great recipe. Pierre

  5. This is basically my grandmothers recipe. She skipped the wine and saved the pepper flakes for the individual... but yes after the first bite, i feel like i'm back in her kitchen again. Too many sauces are boring marinara. This sauce derives its flavor from the bone!
