Is it called "Sauce" or "Gravy"? ? ? This is a debate that has be going on for many years. Let me try to resolve this question right now.
As per the dictionary, "Sauce" is a flavorful seasoning or relish served as an accompaniment to food, especially a liquid dressing or topping for food. Stewed fruit, usually served with other foods. Something that adds zest, flavor, or piquancy. A "Gravy" is the juices that drip from cooking meat. A sauce made by thickening and seasoning these juices.
Most Italian cooks add some type of meat (beef, pork, veal, meatballs, sausage, etc.) to their tomato sauce. By adding meat to the sauce, you are also adding the meat juces, thus changing the "Sauce" to "Gravy".
