It looks pretty good to me, except for the sugar and no oregano. How do you fix yours?

I think I must have every line of that film memorized.

"Mikey, why don't you tell that nice girl you love her? 'I love you with all-a my heart, if I don't see-a you again soon, I'm-a gonna die!'"

And oh yes, I use a pinch of sugar.

I watch it at least once a year-- around the holidays-- and I keep thinking "one day I'll get tired of it." So far, it's not even close. It's more like a beautiful piece of music-- I will never, ever, get tired of listening to Mozart or classic rock. It's a film with intricate rhythms, themes and sub-themes, crescendos, and counter-point (the intercut Catholic mass and the brutal hits).

One of my grandmother's rules, passed along to my mother, and to me: any time you use tomato paste you need to add a bit of sugar. Tomato paste is bitter.

And absolutely right, Jim, it's "gravy." We never called it "sauce." And "macaroni" not "pasta."

I use the certified San Marazono: no need for sugar. Yes, you can tell the difference.

"Aw Pauli, won't see him no more."

San Mariano! At least someone here has paid attention to their mother

However, the pinch of sugar? Instead of sugar use a cheap sweet wine. The sugar in the wine will neutralize the acidity and add another flavor.

Agree, gravy and macaroni, that's what I got from my Sicilian ex wife :-)
