Italians often refer to tomato sauce as "gravy" due to the influence of Italian-American culture, particularly in regions like New York City. The term "gravy" originally described a meat-based sauce, but over time, it evolved to encompass tomato sauce, especially when it is served with pasta. This usage reflects a blending of culinary traditions and the adaptation of Italian cuisine in America. The term can also signify a richer, more complex tomato sauce that includes meat or other ingredients.

Spaghetti sauce or spaghetti gravy?
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.
