Cook's Country Italian Sunday Gravy

I've been wanting to try this recipe for Nonna's Sunday Sauce which I saw in my Cook's Country magazine a year or two ago. I see they must have made it on their tv show recently, as now it is posted under "Italian Sunday Gravy" on their tv show site. The recipes are the same even if the titles are different. I must say I was extremely disappointed in this sauce recipe. The flavor was flat, and there was way way way too much meat, even for a gravy. I am on the eternal quest to find some kind of recipe similar to one I had the pleasure of eating sometimes growing up- it was my aunt's italian mother-in-law's sauce and was by far the best sauce I've ever had in my life. I've never tried a recipe that's even come close to it. So for now, I continue the quest to find a similar recipe!
