Back in college when I was living in the greater Boston area I had a girlfriend of mine who was 100% Sicilian. We became the best of friends so much so that her mother and Nonna eventually were willing to give me a few of the prized family recipes. Sauce with the meatballs is one of them. My personal favorite is the seafood dishes they cook up during Christmas
Adding the raw meatballs in to cook in the sauce gives it so much flavor and tastes so amazing!! That was how I was taught to make them as well. I haven’t seen Tracy once actually cook in the kitchen. I am sorry but those brussels sprouts don’t count & aren’t it.

I’m shocked at how many people (mainly Saddies) that don’t know how to make brussels sprouts with a little salt, pepper, & Parmesan cheese on top like she does. I thought this was a basic recipe that everybody knew Lol!!?! She acts like she’s some chef.
I’m like you though.... It’s such a huge mess and a waste for my little family of three so we don’t often do the Sunday sauce routine, but I always cook a nice dinner on Sundays.
