Gravy Or Non Gravy ?

[diesel1959]

The sauces on enchiladas can be called gravy as well.

“Chili gravy” is but one type of sauce one might put on enchiladas. However, NOBODY calls a sauce on pasta “gravy”. There is alfredo, bolognese, marinara, primavera, etc. But none of them are gravy.

There are regional names for certain things!

All of y’all keep forgettin the meat in the sauce.

Sometimes I cook up a small batch of seasoned ground brisket meat which adds a nice flavor to the sauce but most of the time I prefer portabella mushrooms.

Actually yes it is. Pasta of the whores! Black olives, capers, tomatoes, anchovies & basil.

Despite having not a drop of Eyetalian blood according to the DNA test love that pasta putteneasca. I have the original no cook recipe in case anybody wants it. That gave the ladies of the evening enough stamina to make it all day and night. Now I just throw in a can of anchovies with capers and kill two birds with one stone. The frugal pervert has a cooked variant but it aint near as good as this.

“ Sauce”goes with pasta

My favorite is creamy Alfredo sauce.

I back ya up on that. Gravy is gravy. Go to Italy and call grand mama's sauce gravy. Frying pan upside the head.

Sorta like the Eyetalian Mama told her lippy young tenny bopper son..."The Lord gave you two ears and one mouth..so shutta up your face!"

I tried it once and found that the mushrooms have kind of a "meaty" taste to them so if you combine them with meat it imbalances the flavor of the overall meal as all the meaty additions drown out the flavor of the sauce and pasta so I only use one or the other. It's one of those things that sounds like a good idea but when done turned out to not be the best thing to do. Adding some chopped yellow onions to the meat as it was being cooked turned out to be a great idea, that is if you like onions like I do.

Was that the type of magic mushrooms which grow out of fresh cow patties on sultry days?

Bingo!

In my experience, only Sicilian-Americans call pasta sauce 'gravy. In Italian, it is 'salsa'; in the Sicilian dialect, it is 'sarsa'.

To answer the OP, my favorite pasta sauce is Arrabbiata, followed by Bolognese. If I don't want a tomato-based sauce, I go with Alfredo or Carbonara.

If I don't want sauce at all, an olive oil infused with rosemary sprigs or garlic is my favorite.

I won't eat pasta plain.
