I agree. Snotty comment took out the ”fun” of learning about their family tradition.
I’ll never understand why some people feel the need to be passive aggressive. ”True Italians” are some of the most kind and welcoming people I know. It’s how I was raised. We don’t compete. We share in the joy of cooking. There are many ways to make sauce/gravy.

I like the idea of hand blending the ingredients. Sometimes I do that too. Thank you for your kind words.

This recipe is phenomenal…thank you! I’ve been looking for an authentic tomato sauce with that natural sweetness of carrots, but I did make a few changes to satisfy my personal taste. I added fresh rosemary and red pepper to the sautéing carrots and onions. Another thing I did, after removing rosemary sprigs, was hand blend all ingredients (rather than removing the chunks) so it would be a thicker sauce. It’s precisely the flavour and consistency I was looking for!

If it has meat in it its gravy. If not sauce.
