In reply to Thomas Bone. Thomas, I absolutely loved reading this! I love how you made the recipe your own with the sausage, mushrooms, and all the little adjustments along the way. There’s certainly no one way to make Sunday sauce—every family has its own traditions and everyone has their own preferences. That’s what makes cooking so personal. Thank you for sharing all of your tips, and I especially loved your final verdict: “this recipe produces deliciousness.” Thank you for taking the time to share this! ~Jenn

Assembled per the recipe and substituted sweet Italian sausages for the pork ribs. After 4 hrs of simmering I added some chopped Blue Ridge oyster mushrooms. After 6 hrs of simmering I took the ribs off the bone, removed the silver skin and fat from the meat, finely shredded the meat and crumbled the sausages. Then put both of the meats and bones back in the bath to get every bit of flavor from those glorious bones!

Had to remove fat 2-3 times during the process by simply putting a sheet of paper towel on top and let the fat soak up.

After 8 hrs of simmering, absolutely GLORIOUS and gave it a final rigorous stir to better shred the beef rib meat. Yes, for the purests probably closer to a ragu (ground or shredded meat and veggies) vs Sunday Sauce (whole cuts left intact and served as a side), but don’t miss the point…this recipe produces deliciousness.

These were so amazing, I made them 3 times in 8 days. Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. The flavor just hits you. It’s one of those bites where you close your eyes, slow down your chewing motion and just say to yourself, O.M.G. these are SOOOO good!

The Italian chicken cutlets recipe was just the kind of dinner I wanted to make a summer Sunday without hours in the kitchen. Packed with flavor and there are so many sides you can pair this recipe with. It’s in my recipe keeper!

Comment on Peach Crostata by Jenn Laprade

In reply to Fara Jury. Hi Fara! I haven't tested this recipe with jarred or canned peaches, so I can't say for sure. They tend to have more moisture than fresh peaches, so I'd drain them very well before using to help prevent the crostata from becoming soggy. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it turns out!

In reply to Jane McGee. Hi Jane! Thank you for catching that—the white wine was accidentally left off the ingredient list. I will get that updated asap! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for sharing!
