COMING SOON
Sunday actually started Saturday when my mother would make sauce and fry polpette we would hang around to “heist” the fried meatballs off they came off the pan; as she blasted Elton John, Cats Steven and Peter Paul & Mary – it was a lesson in meatballs, brascioli, ribs and rock & roll
Sunday was the main event. My dad, Ignazio “Iggy” Gallo would make the family handmade pasta… Before we get into the pasta. My dad was a child of immigrant parents who lived in Manhattan. His father owned a little grocery store in the Bronx. Dad never graduated high school, senior year was interrupted by a trip on the Queen Mary on a cold New Years Eve. His group landed in England and they went off to serve for the U.S. in WW2. He earned 3 battle stars having fought in three theaters of wars: The Battle of the Bulge, the Rhineland and Normandy, Iggy has Purple Heart and is buried at Arlington.
Watching my dad handmake pasta was such a part of us growing… the memory of him rolling dough, thumbing out the cavatelli, or using his harp guitar to make noodles is still so vivid and sensory. Iggy was an artist… a painter, a sculpture, a wood worker – my father’s hands were his magic. Steady and inspired.
He passes his love and his craft of fresh made pasta and sauce making to his CIA trained son Michael, who took the nickname “Iggy” in High School and has gone by it ever since. We want to share our idea of Sunday with your family – it was always the best part of the week and of our lives. Our uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins and friends always around us – great stories, lots of love and my dad’s homemade pasta and sauce.
