When you're in the dumps...what's your go-to meal to cheer yourself up? I also mistakenly said pecorino is from a "different cow." I meant to say different animal. It's a sheep's milk cheese. Like my friend Nigel says, "Bad day at the office 😂"
NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW Spaghetti al olio, aglio e peperoncino always makes me happy :)
I think it looks like a great day at the office for you!!
Francesinhas all the way
Think my feel good dish to go to is my Baltimore Crab Cakes with Old bay of course and Board Walk French fries with salt and vinegar. Puts a smile on everyone's face simple to make ☺ I grew up on V8 in meat loaf old school 👍
A beautiful med rare steak. Fried taters and a really cold beer.

"This dude got dumped and made pasta....."

By his boyfriend
@@housemusic1075 really?
It's funny, I'm getting divorce soon and I thought of making pasta
@@leonardohernandez9804 that's tough man. how you holdin up?
@@housemusic1075 I would like to be his boyfriend. ❤ (seriously, everyone has days like that. It's been 5 years so I think he's just fine). I've been watching his vids for ages now and have learned a ton. He does not disappoint!
I made this tonight but changed 2 things: 1. I added half an onion to the sauce process, but more importantly: 2. I made the meatballs 1st and made the sauce in the frying oil that the meatballs came from. Delicious!
Combination of your recipe and my Italian mother’s
Thanks bro!
love this, and the message behind it. fighting stigma around mental health and caring for yourself when you're in that place... it's tough. I like your work, big ups from Munich, Germany
Rigatoni and Meatballs is true Italian comfort food! There is nothing better!
For sure is sheeps milk from a different cow 🤩🤩🤣🤣 love the pasta bro, keep hustling 👌
The best.....
Lol
Cow is often used to describe a female animal that has had a calf
Anything can be a cow. It’s all metaphorical
It’s just built different
Lasagna! Layers of love in every bite. Always comforting
OK, I think i’m a pretty accomplished home cook. I’ve gotten old enough and long enough working hard enough to the point where it clicked. I have to honestly tell you I think this guy cooks some of the the best pasta and sauce as good or as close to as good as anybody I’ve seen or tasted. Unlike videos that are too long and chatty he gets to the meet of the matter and gets it done., I appreciate his effort with these videos. Keep making em. Thanks
I come back to this video every now and then to cook along when I‘m feeling really sad and lonely. This meal really lifts my spirit and makes me feel a lot better. Just like a chicken soup for when got a cold but for your mental health and soul. Thank you so much for this video ❤️
You’re incredibly likeable dude. I think the thing that stands out is your editing and how cool it is - you make it easy to follow along and simple enough that it’s encouraging to try it ourselves. The human aspect of this video was so great too - videos can seem so robotic from some creators and churned out. But it seems like every video is thoughtful and it’s nice that you’re sharing dishes that mean a lot to you. Thanks for what you do.
I love his style too. I really like that he makes the videos about the food, rather than about him. But he is so likeable it's about him without being forced 😜
My wife just made this dish for dinner tonight and It's the best meaballs and rigatoni ever. Thank You for the recipe. Amazing
So glad to hear that! Thank you! Tell her I said good job!
Pecorino cheese "A different cow!" Sheep ain't a cow! lol, bad day at the Office! or just testing us! Great video Steve I will definitely follow this recipe.
Shoot, good thing I added the part describing the differences in cheese. Yup, bad day at the office! Thanks for the support!
Your concentration is on the dish mate. Everybody knew what you meant. Good day at the office my man. I’m saying to my misses this morning. Today we are having meatballs and pasta.
Yes but maybe female sheep are called cows? Did you know that bunnies are called Bull and Cows respectively. Lol
@@Pipster-oe6om No they're not! LOL. A male rabbit is a buck and a female, a doe.
I like to make hot wings for myself whenever I'm feeling like I need some self-care. That's one of those meals that I can just totally zone out with. It's just me, a beer, and a plate of spicy, crispy chicken. No cares in the world. Total comfort food. In fact, that's what I'm making myself for dinner tonight.
Nice recipe, Steve. I like the meatball ingredients a lot. People don’t understand how important that is for the best outcome. You can only get out the quality of what you put in. Excellent dish and it could cheer anyone up.
Thanks Mike! I'm trying to spread the Italian's secret to good food. Quality and simplicity. Appreciate you brother!
NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW "Don't stop" Fleetwood Mac. Keep going Steve you are flippin' great!
Thanks Nigel!! Appreciate that!
Rigatoni is one of my favorite pastas, except that it always seemed that it would lose its structural integrity. When you said to only cook it for 7 minutes instead of the recommended 12-13 this was a revelation for me. That way once you finish the pasta in the sauce it is at the perfect al dente!!! Thanks
Al dente all Italians know to cook their pasta not to soft
Great video, Steve. Sorry you've been struggling. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I admire you sticking with it and doing a video. Sometimes the creative process helps me get my mind off things. (sometimes it doesn't but at least I have something to show for it.)
Thank you bud! Doing better. Yea, takes a lot out of me to make two a week, but it’s a better feeling then not getting them out. It’s all about hitting that publish button. That’s the reward! Thanks for watching man, appreciate it!
Stay at it man. Your channel has greatness written all over it. It's so much fun.
Really appreciate that man, thank you 🙏🏼
Bro I love your cutting board presentations. It makes the food look so good!
Cooked it 2 Times for friends. This Weekend for my family.
Easy my favorite food at the moment.
I appreciate you! When I’m down, I go to the kitchen and cook for myself too. Keep making videos, I’m learning a lot from you!
Mahalo nui,
Gigi
Best food channel hands down. Whenever I cook Italian food I come here for the recipe. Keep up the good work!
The only guy I know who has a down day and yet cooks up something spectacular. Kudos!!!
Tried this recipe today for the family and everyone loved it ! Best meatball recipe I’ve ever used. Much appreciation love everything about the videos man keep it up can’t wait for new content.
This is my first viewing of your videos. Initially I wanted to know how to make non tough meatballs- but then awareness of your multidimensional presentation flashed through. Wow👏🏻I can’t applaud you enough. You’re the whole package dude -from chef - therapist - to Sweetheart. ❤ you so much and Mille Grazie❗️
This is the way to learn to love cooking. Cook with someone who loves to cook, even if it's been a bad day. Thank you so much for your time. Good day.
Everyone is staying at home these days due to Corona Virus...decided to cook for the family and came across your videos. This recipe was a huge hit with the family. Thank you for putting these videos together...huge fan.
Sorry you’re having a down day my dude, I’ve been having a lot of those lately so I feel you. I’m glad that you were able to pull yourself up and still put out some content, it’s always something I look forward to and I appreciate you.
As for my go-to dish, it depends on how hard the depression hits. If I’m struggling to even get out of bed I’ll usually do something simple like jambalaya or steak. If I really want to tell depression to go fuck itself I’ll make carbonara or Monte Cristo sandwiches.
Cheers to almost 2k brother, keep your head up.
Edit: also enchiladas or lasagna with homemade sauce, can’t believe I forgot about about my lay-in-bed-and-cry staples.
Thank you man! Appreciate you! I love that you have like secret weapons when you need to tell depression to really fuck off! I gotta get out the bazookas!
@@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW Hahahaha. Play w/a Potato Toy Gun. 🙂🙂
Wife and I made your meatballs and they were the best. We live in Arizona so we cooked them on the Traeger and then added to the sauce. Didn't want to heat the house up. They were so tasty. Thanks for the recipe. GO GIANTS!!
My favorite thing to eat that always cheers me up is Portuguese Bacalao. You and I make our meatballs and sauce almost exactly the same way. I add a little fresh parsley to mine
I'll expect a video on Bacalao soon then my friend! Glad you know your way around a pasta!
Love how these recipes have been modified and improved over the years...weekday sauce and Stephen's meatballs (whipped ricotta instead of cream) are unbeatable...thank you for all your effort
best meatballs i’ve ever made, hands down, thanks man
So on a bad day, Stephen, you create another work of art, joy, and sheer happiness! Keep going!
Whatever people say here in Italy, I honestly like pasta and meatballs. However, we usually put red onion in our tomato sauce instead of garlic, and basil always in the end. Looks delicious ❤
I guess people complain only about spaghetti with meatballs, where I live (campania) it's pretty common to eat pasta corta with meatballs.
Love it. Smell is the way you know the right mixture has been achieved. It hasnt failed me yet.
I just made this recipe for my family a couple of minutes ago. After eating a whole plate, I decided to come back here and let you know that this recipe is really great.
Your weekday sauce is now my go to recipe when I'm feeling hungry and I wanna make something for myself. Keep it going! Much love from the Philippines.
LOL I finally understand why you emphasized on your Carbonara vid that you don't think a sheep is a cow, love you man.
Thanks so much for doing what you do. Even on days like these. I know this was mad long ago, but I have noticed you are always pushing thru to bring us great videos. Thanks, man!
And some simple tacos are my go-to downer food. Lol. Some soft corn tortillas, some taco beef, some cheddar, some diced onions, and lots of cilantro. Simple comforts. Lol.
Hey! Whenever you are feeling down, remember, it doesn’t last forever. Your videos... help me to space out from my concerns, your passion and energy sure lift me up! I’m a better cook than before and happier! Ty!
Your channel and videos are underrated man, like waay underrated.
I have tried many you tube meatballs recipes this is by far the best, my toddlers are fussy eaters the meatballs are only what they ate and left the pasta on their plates. I'm now only coming to your channel when I want to cook italian food.
I love him!!!! He breaks down everything and makes it so fun 💯🥰💋
I've made this three - four times with very minor tweaks. Always incredible. Last time I was entertaining Mexican guests, and they were blown away. Even had me try and explain the process. Thanks again!!!
Man, now with the quarantine I can finally try out all your recipes. You’re the best man, the meatballs are awesome!!
My aunt Sandra would smell the meatball mixture to check if it was right and I do the same. That just brought back good memories.
I really like the way you cook, I watch your videos often. Thanks!
love the way you cook, simple and precise. big respect from the island of Mauritius
When i'm down i'll fry two eggs sunnyside up in grassfed butter and accompany them with white basmati rice. Delicious😋. Its comfort food my grandma would occasionally cook for dinner. We are puertorican new yorkers. I'm 71 now and mom and grandma are gone now but those eggs and rice just bring me back to ny great childhood.
I've been making meatballs for many years and it took me a long time to figure out a recipe that I really loved. I make them almost exactly the same way you do, minus the cheese because my mom doesn't like it. My grandma always made hers the same way too but she never gave me the recipe so I had to figure it out through trial and error. Now that I have it down, I make spaghetti and meatballs for my brother almost every other week.
never heard of an Italian American meatball recipe without cheese ,locatelli Romano
Made this recipe, so good and didn’t use a lot of ingredients which I always find annoying. I never learned a lot of cooking growing up but am a parent now so have to step it up. This is the second recipe I’ve learned from you best cooking channel! Fr tysm!!
Steve, I love this recipe! More importantly, I love the passion and love for good food that you share with us your viewers. I appreciate that you make some missteps when making your videos and then carefully make notes and re-shoot additional footage during your editing process to make corrections. You're a one-man show doing the job of several people in a crew if you were doing this on a TV show. Keep at it; you're a terrific chef and your honesty is felt as much as your passion for your craft.
Bro you are a f#@king sweet heart! You get feeling like this, go have a good cry, and know we love you! Though only platonically, but just know you have changed my life. I have cooked so many of your recipes is crazy. Be good my friend!
I love the way he calls a sheep a "different cow"
Made this today and family licked their plates. Meatballs flavorful. Followed recipe except mixed half Italian sausage with the ground beef. Thanks for all the videos. Love your straight up approach.
Great looking dish! Like the use of the song "Frenesi" made popular by Artie Shaw in the 1940s as accompaniment. Cheers!
Eggs and potatoes hands down is my fave comfort food. It’s esp easy if you have leftover fries (preferably steak fries) from the night before. Fry the fries (I like breaking them up into smaller pieces) in a pan with butter and onions until they’re crispy and brown and then add the eggs to the pan and scramble with the potatoes and onions. Love love love this dish when I’m feeling bad.
Made the meatballs you way amazing, same ingredients different techniques what a deference
Thank yiu👏👏👏😁🇨🇦
I know the world is hard most of the time, I used to cook for bambino Italian restaurant, worked my way to the chef position, since then I have become obsessed with Italian food, cooking techniques to make authentic and legit good food for the soul, what I have mostly learned is that the Italian people used what they can get thier hands on .I completely agree with you the better the quality of ingredients the tastier the food I always cringe when invited to someone else's house for speggitt because I know most are trying to plug the hole. I just want you to know that I watch your videos because you are the guy who's house I would love to go to for Italian food. I hope you know that you have ignited my passion for it so I wanted to tell you what ever is bothering you to forget about it!
Fantastic video with excellent music in the background.
Greetings from Italy!
Just found this today and rushed out to get the ingredients. I am 70 years old and have FINALLY learned how to make a great meatball! Delicious! Thank you so much.
Damn man you know how to make some epic meat balls. That looks like it could be the best Rigatoni meatball dish i've ever seen in my life. Only one way to know though hahahahaah. Great episode and like the V8 juice tip.
Thank you man! forgot to mention that the reserved sauce takes the place of v8 in this recipe so one doesn't have to go buy v8 juice that no one will ever use again. So you just take the sauce and use it like that.
Any chance you made them? How were they?^^
I just made this and wow! The sauce is so rich and complex yet so few ingredients. I only want this sauce now - it is liquid gold! 😊
Great video. I'm definitely going to have to try your meatball recipe. When I'm feeling down I go straight for comfortable and easy: aglio e olio.
Darth Bobo thanks man! Can’t tell you how many people have said their favorite food when their down is pasta...I don’t know what it is. I have an aglio olio video, would love to hear if it’s close to yours!
@@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW Yeah I don't know what it is either, pasta is just the best! Just checked out your aglio olio video, only difference for me is I don't always have fresh parsley on hand, but I've always got fresh parmesan... Don't tell your fellow Italians haha.
Darth Bobo haha, I mean obviously I add fresh Parm when I make it but you bet your ass I’m making my video about it as bulletproof as I can. I don’t want to ever end up on those videos where Italians talk shit about everyone who screw up classic Italian recipes.
I have two 'happy meals' - honestly, one of them is pasta & meatballs. The other is something I call Sunshine Eggs - it's essentially a Scotch Bonnet omellet cooked in coconut oil, in a flour tortilla wrap. It rocks.
I have been asked my favorite meal. My answer is yours: my last meal, if I knew that is what is was, would be rigatoni and meatballs. There is something just perfect about it.
I agree. Cooking does help when you got the blues. That and music. Im Mexican but Italian is my second go to food. Love cooking Italian food. Nice video! Shot outs from Chicago.
I really love your videos man. It feels almost like I'm watching my grandma cook. It's so weird xD Keep up the great work man! Spread the food love!!!
Definitely one of the best I've seen this talented young man create. Thank you
Creme brûlée is my “I need a pick me up” food. That and root beer floats, but I feel like creme brûlée is more appropriate for this show
haha, to be honest, I would make a root beer float on this show before I make a creme brulee.
Luke Bebee You should have tiramisu, in Italian it literally means pick me up
Cooking for LOVE is KEY for me and my husband! LOVE your recipes!
Dang good video! Love homemade meatballs! And everybody has bad days... We just have to make sure it doesn't turn into a bad week, month, life! Great job, brother!
Thank you my friend. And you are right. You gotta make sure it doesn't get too comfortable and stick around. Thanks for stopping by again bud. Always nice to hear from you!
Pasta Fagioli is my hands down favorite when I'm blue...my Dad made it and I always smile! Cheers!
Beautiful editing skills 👌🏻
Thank you so much! That's nice to hear! 🙏
I come back to this recipe time and time again. It works🥫🍝🍷🧀
Really like ur vids dude. Keep it up
You’re adorable lol so honest and open, and I’m sorry you were having a tough day … it happens.
My go to comfort foods are my childhood foods. Escarole and beans and a really good Italian semolina loaf ya know crunchy crust but moist and delish inside…. In a word, yum 😊
Be well you’re a blessing ❤
Try throwing some anchovy paste or pureed achovies into the meatball mix. Its dynamite
I cook Italian for comfort food as well! Just a basic tomato spaghetti cooked perfectly with the right ingredients does it for me.
Yes!! His weekday sauce is my go-to now, too!
DEAR LORD HOLD ME- this look so amazing-
33% ground beef+33% ground pork+33% ground veal best combo for meat balls
love your show!!!
Number one thing that makes it all better after a bad day... Going cheap, just grilled cheese with goat cheese and cheddar and a bowl of cheap Campbell's tomato with extra extra black pepper. I'm sure there's a better tasting method of making grilled cheese and tomato soup but that's my old tried and true.
You know grilled cheese holds a special place in my heart. We go wayyyy back.
To cook with love i always enjoy a small pork roast with roasted sweet potato, carrot, potato and gravy. Always makes me feel at home when i am far from it
no idea why u only have 75k subs
Felt cruddy one night after doing 16 hours at work luckily after 3 weeks of working everyday I had one day off was a holiday. I cooked my first brisket in a smoker. Followed a guide, but was so proud of the moment and food when it was done. Sometimes food is the best escape from the world. Loved the video sorry you had a bad day man.
I've seen that different cow.. grazing..
Thank you for not sugar-coating life. Sometimes we have down days. It’s cool. Loved this video.
6:23 -- OH-HO-HO! I disagree sir! Browning them balls is *paramount*! I still love ya though :)
You brown your own balls..
he literally browned them...
I like them both. Browning gives a slight crunch, but I like them not browned too. Depends on the mood.
Maybe my some people don't do it first.
When I'm really down and can't paint or draw for whatever reason but still have access to my kitchen - it's always pasta. No half-measures! Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano, Greek olive oil, fresh herbs and sweet tomatoes and garlic. The rest depends entirely on the contents of my fridge at the moment, but if there's at least one chilli pepper I can make it work and give myself some love
7:34 the shoes lmao, are you standing on top of the bench taking that pic?
Ari that’s his signature
Valera Voronin ahah looked at his other vids you’re right. Fucking gold.
When I’m having a crappy day I love a good lasagna or tacos 🌮, but my mama’s style. Home deep fried corn tortillas to make the shells, simple ground beef with garlic, salt, cracked black pepper. Then the trimmings, iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, minced fresh onion, and shredded Colby Jack cheese. That is my comfort food.
ok but why did you eat them from a cutting board???
@@karleil7394 Looks obnoxious lol
@@ocular4925
No disrespect intended, I disagree. Looks delicious, no extra plate to clean and you're alone anyway. Great presentation for a comforting meal. Have a great day. : )
@@bethy-lou3307 u gotta clean the huge ass board tho lol. Doesn't make sense
@@wm1573 But he used the board to cut the parsley and garlic anyways? Why would you make another dish dirty if you can just use that? Also, it's aesthetically pleasing, at least to me.
Why not 😂
You know a cooking video is good when you’re salivating just looking at the end result.
Yes! I can relate. Cooking is so therapeutic and calming and when you finally get to eat your hard work, your spirit is lifted 🥰
You can also rely on me to get through btw 😉😂
Lol jk
I love what are doing and it makes my cooking so much better. Pasta is comfort and my second choice for that last meal would be pasta in a blue cheese sauce.
wow you’re actually so beautiful
Thank you ☺️
Whenever I’m feeling like crap I love to eat pollo sudado. My grandma used to make it and it’s just so comforting and hearty
My man you’ve got clubbing on your fingers. Have you been to a doctor recently? That can be a sign of heart conditions
Hopefully he sees this
Bro, stop
I know it’s been over a year since you made this video but I found your channel today and I’ve been binging your videos. My favorite food that helps me stay on top when I’m not doing the best is a slice of pepperoni pizza from a market near my school that does super authentic New York slices
I'm glad he mentioned the "smell" of the meatball mixture. That was my grandmother's way and it was passed down to me. It's not about 1/2 cup of this, or 1/4 cup of that, you add ingredients until it smells right. If it doesn't smell right, it won't taste right.
I absolutely love it and I made it for my birthday guests today. I hope they will love it as much as i do
I have made this for my husband with few twists - couldn't find heavy cream cause they don't sell it where i live, so used regular cream instead. Also couldn't find san marzano tomatoes, but found sicillian canned tomates so used them instead. My husband loved the dish, he said it is such a grandma food. :) Thank you for the amazing recipe, i will try your other recipes.
You don't owe anyone anything, Steven. Thank you for all of the great content. You do you, and I'll keep warching.
