Ode to Sunday Sauce

 

Daniel Bellino

Making SUNDAY SAUCE




An ODE to SUNDAY SAUCE


SUNDAY SAUCE – “The most SUPREME DISH in the ITALIAN-AMERICAN Enclave. There is No DISH more Important than this. Sunday Sauce is so Good. It brings hundreds of thousands of ItalianAmericans together, each and every Sunday. Why ? Because it is a Ritual ingrained into every Italian. It’s the World’s Tastiest dish too, laden with all sorts of wonderful Meats, like Sausages, Meatballs, Braciole, Ribs, and maybe a couple Coteca too. You’re not going to find a tastier dish anywhere. Search the World, Sunday Sauce is Best! You’ll find it on Italian American tables in New York, New Jersey, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans and all Italian Enclaves all over America.


When you know your NONNA, Mom, or Aunt Helen is making Sunday Sauce, you’ll be there in a flash, there’s no way you’re going to miss Sunday Dinner with the family. “No way in the World” These are the reasons we Italians Love our Sunday Sauce. So very much, we do. It’s so Damn DELICIOUS and it brings us all Together “La Famiflia,” if only once w eek, we’ll be together for Sunday Sauce. Sunday Sauce at Nonna’s house. Or Mom, or your Sister, Aunt Fran & Uncle Tony’s or wherever it is on any particular Sunday? You’ll be there for Sunday Sauce, Maccheroni, Meatballs, Espresso & Cannolis, and most importantly, to see and spend time with loved ones. That’s what SUNDAY SAUCE does. Quite a powerful thing. Wouldn’t you say?

Ronzoni Sono Buoni – Ronzoni Pasta is So Good – Some call It Macaroni

RONZONI

MEZZE RIGATONI


.
“Ronzoni Sono Buoni,”
if you are Italian and grew up in the New York area in the great
decades of the 1960’s and or 70s you know the slogan. We Italians do love our
pasta, we’re weened on it! Pasta is the main staple of our diet. Many are
fanatical about and love it so, they insist on having it several times a week.
I’m one. Pasta, can be covered in a wide variety of sauces,  in some soups like; Pasta Fagoli (Pasta Fazool),
in Minestrone’s, with Pasta and Peas, and Pasta con Ceci (Chick Peas). Yes, we
are weened on it. Mommy gave me, my bothers and sister Pastina coated in a bit
of butter and Parmigiano when we were just toddlers  and every so
often I have to pick up a box of Ronzoni Pastina, as I love and crave it still,
and of late as with many my age, you start craving things you loved as a child,
thus my stints with PASTINA .“Ronzoni Sono Buoni,” it means, Ronzoni
is So Good, and that it is. This brand of  Pasta, born in New York City at the
turn of the 20th Century has been a mainstay of not only
Italian-Americans of the East Coast but, for all. For years before the surge of
many a imported pasta product in the U.S., Ronzoni, was not the only game in
town for Macaroni, there was the Prince and Creamette, as well, but Ronzoni
dominated the market and though I don’t have stats, I would wage to say that 85
to 90 % of all commercial pasta sold in the New York, New Jersey, and
Philadelphia areas was Ronzoni, the pasta in the bright blue boxes, Ronzoni
Sono Buoni. God I wonder how many plates and bowls of Spaghetti, Ziti and other
Ronzoni pastas I ate over the years, starting with Pastina as
a toddler  and moving to Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce or Meatballs,
Baked Ziti, Stuffed Shells and more. Oh “Stuffed Shells,” they bring back
memories of my mother who loved them. We had them often, along with Lasagna
made with Ronzoni Lasagana. You don’t see Stuffed Shells around that much any
more, they used to be on many a restaurant and even more home menus. There
popularity has waned, but every once and a while I’ll pick up a box of Ronzoni
large shells, just for the purpose of bringing back those memories of mom
making them and me loving them as  a child. I’ll make a batch of
tomato sauce, cook the Ronzoni Shells, and stuff them with ricotta and
Parmigiano, bake them in tomato sauce, and “Voila” Stuffed Shells of
days gone by. I do the same with a Pastina as I still love the dish so, dressed
with butter and fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano, “makes me feel like a kid
again!” Yum, delicious little pleasure you can whip up in minutes and
bring back visions of your youth. All with some butter, Parmigiano and a box of
Ronzoni Pastina. That’s Ronzoni, every bit a part of my life and youth as
a spring ol Slinky, Etch-A-Sketch, The Three Stooges, Saturday Morning
Cartoons, and all the favorites of my youth, 



Ronzon Sono Buoni

“Ronzoni it’s
so good!”

RONZONI FACTS 

From an Article in the New York Times 1974

I’m sure these facts are no longer true, as many Americans now buy a lot more imported Italian pasta then they did back in 1974. In the 1950’s, 60’s 70’s  and even into the 1980’s  Ronzoni dominated the past market, not only in New York, but for the entire country. 

1  –   New York is the largest market for pasta in America, accounting for 20% of all pasta sales in
         America, comes from New York.

2  –   Ronzoni sells more than 40% of all pasta sold in New York.

3  –   Ronzoni’s sales were more than $40 Million dollars in 1973.







RONZONI PASTINA

“NO MORE” !





SAD NEWS

The Ronzoni Macaroni Company is discontinuing Pastina, due to low sales. “What” ? Yes folks, it’s true.  After 107 of being one of Italian-America’s favorite pastas, and the one maccheroni products is always the first one we eat, as Italian mothers feed their little babies Ronzoni Pastina, dressed in a little butter as one of the first solid foods their baby will eat, thus one of Italian-America’s most time honored traditions. We all Love our pastina. But no more. Not Ronzoni Pastina anyway. Yes, a sad day for us Italians. We will have to find another brand of pastina, even though Ronzoni’s is our most beloved, it will be no more.
