1. My Sicilian grandma's sauce and meatballs were without parallel. nt

2. Actually ate homemade spaghetti on an Italian tomato farm long ago.

They cooked the sauce for house -- six if I remember correctly.

Amazing taste.

There is nothing like homemade tomato sauce from freshly picked, home-grown tomatoes.

3. Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino

Sublime!

4. My Italian Grandmother cooked

all her sauce with pork shoulder for hours with lots of spices.

Did all the homemade canning of tomatoes and tomato sauce. Our basement was turned into a factory during the tomato season. Cooking tomatoes for hours, and even did our own bottling and canning. It was the best.

Homemade spaghetti hung to dry from a clothesline and nocci made by hand.

Ah, those were the days.

5. I roast my garden tomatoes.

I use those and two or three cans of tomato sauce to make my spaghetti sauce. My Neapolitan m-i-l doctored up plain old Hunt's tomato sauce. Go figure!
