When I am making a large batch of sauce I use a finely minced mirepoix in the
initial stages. I also use pork meat and pork bones, if all else fails I will
use spare ribs. And yes like many others I do call it Italian gravy. I find
using a mirpoix ( which BTW you will never be able to isolate/find when eating)
give a depth of flavor which adds greatly to the overall sauce.
