In my family, marinara is 30 minutes, fish sauces are about the same, and meat ragus (or as my grandma would say 'gravy') is between 1.5 and 3 hours, and normally cooked on a Sunday Morning. I remember waking up to the smell of the 'gravy' cooking when I was a kid. What a great memory.

And Pasta was never the main dish when I was growing up. On Sundays, it was usually followed by a Roast and the Ssuce meat (meatballs, sausage, etc...) as well as vegitables, and salad. At grandma's the meal ended with fruit. nuts and later pastries.

On Thursdays it was simply Macoroni and meatballs followed by a salad.
