Ellie Lofaro (2004) Leap of Faith (religion), →ISBN, page 17 of 256: “Their grown children would never think of being late for the traditional macaroni and gravy. (They never called it pasta and sauce.)”
Peter E. Bondanella (2005) Hollywood Italians: dagos, palookas, romeos, wise guys, and Sopranos (performing arts), →ISBN, page 302 of 352: “Paulie's visit to Naples turns out to be a complete disaster: he thinks the natives are unfriendly; he hates the food, rejecting a delicacy (black pasta with squid ink), asking, instead, for "macaroni and gravy", a request that the locals translate as spaghetti and tomato sauce...”
Tuchy Palmieri (2007) Josephine, in Her Words (family and relationships), →ISBN, page 35 of 194: “It was macaroni and gravy. I'm sure some of our visitors and childhood friends were a little perplexed when hearing that "spaghetti with sauce" was "macaroni and gravy" for the Palmieries.”

Mrs. Charles Roundell (1898) Mrs. Roundell's Practical cookery book: with many family recipes hitherto unpublished (cooking), page 437 of 580: “Macaroni and Gravy.—Boil an ounce or more of pipe Macaroni in boiling salted water for fifteen minutes (see page 411). Drain it thoroughly, and return it to the hot, dry pan. Add a teacupful of clear gravy, simmer gently till the Macaroni has absorbed most of it, and serve in a hot soup-plate.”
