“This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation. Growing up, either my grandma or mom would have family over every Sunday.  They would save all the leftover meats, add onion, garlic, wine, and tomatoes to make a sauce. Well, over the years I have perfected my own recipe to share with my guests at ADEGA in Cleveland, Ohio.” – Chef Eddie Tancredi
