In my experience, only Sicilian-Americans call pasta sauce 'gravy. In Italian, it is 'salsa'; in the Sicilian dialect, it is 'sarsa'.
To answer the OP, my favorite pasta sauce is Arrabbiata, followed by Bolognese. If I don't want a tomato-based sauce, I go with Alfredo or Carbonara.
If I don't want sauce at all, an olive oil infused with rosemary sprigs or garlic is my favorite.
I won't eat pasta plain.
My boss calls pasta sauce gravy. He’s a large Italian from New Jersey named Vinny who also carries a gun. So I let him call it whatever he wants.
