    Sam just wanted to drop you a quick note . My husband had a double lung transplant 1year ago . He initially spent a lot of time in the ICU then on the chest ward . Finally got him home after 6 months . Since then he has had constant complications. Fungal infections , bacterial infections ad clits in the lungs . Eating has been very difficult for him , he has been tube fed and now he drinks meal replacements . So he dreams of when he can eat all the things he loves again. He has been watching every single on of your videos . It really helps keep his spirits up .
    So thanks from fans from Canada . Ps visiting one of your restaurants is now on our bucket list .❤

    Looks great! Personal preference when it comes to fresh pasta like that. I prefer it rolled out to 5 instead of 7 on the kitchen aid. The slightly thicker noodle has a better bite to it and is less prone to falling apart in a heavier sauce. Only time I ever roll past 5 is if I’m making ravioli or home made wonton wrappers.

  • @Kithop
    @Kithop 8 місяців тому +10

    In my mind, I'd do the confit garlic first, and then use that garlic-infused oil for cooking the meatballs + onions for that little bit extra. ;)

  • @kevinv7178
    @kevinv7178 8 місяців тому +17

    A heads-up, don't use a strainer. Scoop the pasta out of the pot. If you pour the pot into a strainer, you'll get a bunch of goopy flour from the bottom of the pot all over your perfect noodles. Well done, Sam.
    Another tip: sprinkle some flour on your pasta roller attachment and it'll stick less.

Two things we did differently, we used our pasta maker and since we couldn't find ground pork we used sweet Italian sausage, no casing with the beef etc. Sauce was awesome, homemade pasta rules and the garlic confit bread was to die for! Thanks Sam for an amazing Sunday dinner this week!! ❤

    The garlic confit reminded me of one of my family's favorite feasts. In a pot place equal parts olive oil and clarified butter(about two quarts total)--just make sure there is at least two inches of liquid in the pot. Add one tin of oil-packed anchovies. Add about twenty cloves of peeled garlic. Simmer on the burner for twenty minutes then transfer to a hot plate in the center of a table. On the table have plates/platters of various cheeses, sliced meats, vegetables like peppers, celery, scallions, mushrooms; scallops, shrimp (40/61). Slices of thick cut Italian bread. Each diner gets a plate, and a fork. Pass the plates and platters and each diner takes what they want. Then just put whatever you want in a bite-sized bundle on your fork and cook it in that bubbling hot bath of garlic love for 30 seconds or so. Using a slice of bread as a "catcher", remove your fork and let the oil drip onto the bread. DO NOT immediately eat it. It will be hot as hell. Take the cooked food off the fork and let it rest while you make another forkful of food to cook. When it is cooled, be ready to eat it and become happy. After a while, the bread will be soaked with the oil mixture and it can be eaten. Oh, and this meal is eaten standing up. Not only is that good for you, it is a safety factor because a lot of forks going in and out of boiling oil is understandably hazardous. This is best eaten on a cool evening. Oh, and when everyone is stuffed, remove those garlics--they are brown and chewy and sticky-- and eat them. They are like garlic gumdrops. Finally, make sure you have a LOT of red wine--not the best wine, but a serviceable red that a peasant would be proud to serve. This is based on an Italian dish called "Bagna Cauda" which means "hot bath." Trust me, it is a meal that brings out the best in friends and family. Unforgettable.

      Unless you are cooking them individually on the stove top, it's easy enough to just make another if it's bad. But no you don't want to get a bloody or spoiled egg in your noodles either. You can't always tell by looking either, plus some scents can also penetrate the egg as well so remember to give it a smell.

    I've been making your original recipe for "The Best Spaghetti and Meatballs I've Ever Made" and it's been a complete game changer. The ONLY thing I changed from that recipe was the meat mixure. Instead of Ground Beef, Pork, and Veal.....I replaced the Veal with Ground Lamb. And OMG was that ever a success! The slight gamey flavor the lamb adds makes them unique from all other meatballs anyone has tried and they all love it!
    I'm going to try some of the stuff here, but that meat mixue from your original recipe will NEVER change......it's simply that fabulous!

    Just a thought. Here in Mexico we use Mexican oregano which has flower heads, seeds, and stems. Normally, we put a Tbs. or so, in the palm of our hands, and grind the oregano into a powder before adding it to a dish. My husband, and I decided that it would be so much easier to put the oregano into a small sieve, and mash it with our thumb, and get rid of the horrible little stems. They don’t soften with cooking, and are a terrible mouth feel.

    Sam if you deep fry the meatballs the whole exterior gets crust. For bigger meatballs you do the same finish in the oven or in the sauce for a more flavorful sauce. I've been cooking for 14 yrs professionly, I enjoy your channel and thought I'd give you a small trick. I had a friend who cooked for the sopranos set and that's what he did works great hope it helps

      Sounds good.
      I used to cook my meatballs completely in the sauce, until I realized what was coming out of them.....
      All the gush.
      Frying or baking rids them of that basically, and then finishing them in the sauce completes them.

    Sam, there's acidity in your tomatoes because of the seeds, run your tomatoes through a sieve to get rid of them and your sauce won't be acidic. I learned this tip from an old Italian Grandma who cooked the sauce for an awesome Italian Restaurant called Mama and Me's in Kansas City.
    I was the HVAC guy who would come work while the Grandma (Mama) was making the sauce for the Restaurant. Her daughter the owner used to get very upset with her mother for telling me these secrets. The Grandma loved me as I took her words of wisdom as gospel.
    I held her in high regard, respected her, and always headed her advice.
    If you want chunky Spaghetti sauce cut the Tomato meat away before you run them through the sieve. The chunky parts don't have the seeds.
    Love your show and I watch all of your videos! Keep on keeping on Sam!

    I like adding a nice splash of a good red wine in my sauce, adds a great flavor, and depending on the wine, will sweeten the sauce a little

    I no longer use sugar to lessen the tartness of some tomatoes or sauce. I'll use a couple pinches, up to an 1/8th tsp of baking soda depending on tartness and it will completely transform the sauce. And as it elminates the tartness, it increases the sweetness. It's a win/win.

    Looks delish! My way for 40 years now is to use brown sugar (never white!), and add a splash of Cab Sauvignon to the sauce. Also, dont forget the basil. Try it!...no regrets.

    i personally deep fry my meatballs for 3 minutes at 375 and it gives them a prefect browning all around then add them to the sauce to finish and i don't have a kitchen aid mixer i have an hand crank pasta maker but i when making spaghetti only take it to number 5 or so because the thicker noodle works better

    Round spaghetti is an extruded pasta, this looks great though. Also, when looking for dried pasta, find the whites ones, usually means higher quality. Yellow is lower quality, but go with what you like. Sauce looked great, and smaller meatballs is the way to go. A little milk will make the meatballs softer, but the ricotta works very well. Love your show.
