An Italian-American family in Chicago is keeping their tradition alive by making tomato sauce or passata together. The Cortese family has regularly cooked their own pasta sauce together for over three generations. When Steve Cortese’s grandmother immigrated to the United States, she brought the ritual with her from a small town in Calabria, Italy.
Now almost every summer Steve, his daughter Amanda and the rest of the family get together to make 70 jars of tomato sauce. “Growing up … we would go to a farm and pick the tomatoes and pick several bushels, bring them home and cook them up and cut them up and cook them up in the basement,” Steve told In The Know. “So it was a maybe [a] three, four-hour process. But [I] learned that from my dad and his mother.”
