In traditional Sunday Dinner Gravy, the meat lends its unctuousness to the tomato sauce, then comes out. The tomato sauce becomes the star of a pasta course, and the meat moves on to be featured on its own.
The dispute as to the proper English term for sugo goes on. It is either “gravy” or “sauce,” and the topic is hotly debated to this day. I believe the two schools of thought are based in Nutley and Belleville, both in the great state of New Jersey. In the end, trust the name of the dish to whoever makes it for you. She will always be correct.

Season the meats with lots of salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the veal and beef, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and stir constantly until the wine evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce, stir, then add the sausage, neckbones, 1 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes to taste. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover halfway, and cook, stirring occasionally and skimming fat as necessary, for about 3 hours.
Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Remove the gravy from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to a platter. On a separate platter, pile the pasta, dress it with the gravy, and serve as your first course. Then serve the meat as a main course.
Some people save the neck bones for their dogs, but I like to pick at them cold from the fridge, hot sauce in hand, late, late at night…alone.
