There really isn't a right-or-wrong answer to the question of "Spaghetti sauce or spaghetti gravy?" Some people use the two words interchangeably. Others argue that spaghetti "gravy" is usually heavier, more than likely contains meat, and likely takes all day to make, while "sauce" is generally lighter, does not contain meat (as in a marinara sauce), and can usually be whipped up fairly quickly. The Italian side of my own family tends to use the term gravy more often, but our family recipes generally call for heavy, meat-based...gravies. On the other hand, when I am cooking at home and making anything outside of my family's three-meat concoction, I would be much more likely to use the word sauce.
