- I share all my top tips on making tender juicy meatballs, loaded with herbs, soaked bread and my favourite combination of pork, beef and grated Parmigiano cheese. We whip up a simple fresh tomato sauce with garlic sliced a la Goodfellas while discussing why Spaghetti and Meatballs is not really Italian. Lastly, how to maximize the flavour in your spaghetti before serving it. FULL RECIPE BELOW
RECIPE : SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS
28 oz. San Marzano or good quality tomatoes (800 gm )
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (25 ml)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
chile flakes to taste
alternatively 2 jars of my Spicy Garlic tomato Sauce
salt and pepper
10 oz. ground beef (300 gm )
5 oz. ground pork (150 gm)
1 slice stale crusty bread, soaked in water for 1 to 2 minutes, then squeezed
½ small Spanish onion, grated (100 gm)
1 egg
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (5 ml)
Salt and Pinch of red chili flakes and cracked black pepper
1/3 cup freshly chopped Italian parsley (80 ml)
2 Tbsp. fresh oregano, chopped (25 ml)
Finely grated cheese - Parmigiano or Pecorino cheese
Olive oil for frying
Fresh chopped basil
1 lb package good quality spaghetti (450 gm)
sea salt to taste
If making your own sauce, start by heating olive oil with 1 clove garlic and chile flakes over low heat until just translucent. Add the tomatoes and crush gently with wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat until thickened and flavourful about 30-40 minutes. Adjust seasoning .
Meanwhile, In a medium bowl combine ground beef and pork, soaked bread, egg, red chili flakes, Worcestershire, grated onion, grated cheese and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Shape gently into 1 " balls.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil until shimmering. Arrange meatballs and fry in 2 batches for about 6-8 minutes turning to brown evenly . Makes about 20 meatballs. Remove and drain.
Bring tomato sauce to a gentle simmer. Add meatballs and let cook, about 25 to 30 minutes until meat is no longer pink. Finish with fresh chopped basil.
Remove the meatballs onto a plate, cook pasta according to package directions for al dente and finish in simmering tomato sauce. Serve with meatballs, more grated cheese.

Grazie !
That is a delicious dish and I love spaghetti and I am not Italian either. I love the size of those meat balls so much and a few of them are great for me and would have me full before long.
I was sold when you said Romano. Excellent recipe!
Thank you . The Pecorino really does give it an extra ' boom' for sure. We loved it here.
yummmy....you just made me hungry....now I have to make spaghetti this week.......buona sera.....
Hi Christine. Spaghetti is one of the ultimate comfort foods, and it's been a while since I had it with meatballs. I might make them a little smaller or fry them in a little more oil, but your version looks delish. I think most people like to make tasty dishes with a little of their own touch. Thank you!
I totally agree. I always say the recipe is like a sheet of music and each musician plays it differently. Now I want to make this recipe.
Greek master..
feast for the Italian beast ..
love it..
Many thanks!
Thanks for sharing that reminds me how my late mother cook for us but I cook wrong way I didn't add the sauce in spaghetti

I don’t know why I torture myself watching this! But I know what I’m making tomorrow :) Grazie!
Sorry but NOT. Thanks for watching and buon appetito
Christine, you referred to The Goodfather thickness of garlic and although there is a famous scene in Goodfather when Clemenza makes Spaghetti Meatballs I believe you are thinking of a famous scene from Goodfellas where Paulie (Paul Sorvino) develops system for doing the garlic. He used a razor and he used to slice it so thin that it would liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. Manga manga
Agent Bosko yes that is exactly what I meant. Goodfellas not the God Father , so I changed it in my recipe title. Whatever you call it , this dish is one “ La Famiglia” will love.
@@ChristineCushing Manga Manga
Looks delicious!!! I can tell by the way the meatballs looked while they were being fried. As soon as you cut into them they are going to fall apart (yum). I know the feeling when I taste a dish and it's better than I thought. I say to myself, self, dang even I surprise myself.
Yes, I'm binge-watching your channel. I just had rotator cuff surgery.
I hope you enjoyed the binge watching and the shoulder is healing well. Happy New Year
@@ChristineCushing Happy New Year to you and your family!
Mamma Mia!"" That look's better than Chef Boyardee. 😍
Chef Boyardee....Stop it... LOL
Gilbert Gonzalez hahah. Thank you !
Yum!!! I'm going to use this recipe at a friendly, family Meatball Competition. Wish me luck!
Elizabeth oh that sounds amazing. I think you May have an advantage. Good Luck ! Let me know how it goes
Elizabeth is there a such a thing as a family friendly competition?
@@TheAgentbosko😀You're right...it won't be a competition 'cause I'm going to win...likely won't be friendly either😳
Elizabeth 🥇💵🥊🔪🍽
As Clemenza would have said: You shove in all your sausage and your meatballs, eh?
Wonderful.. it's how we make spaghetti and meatballs here.. except for one thing..
In our house, the spaghetti gets a light toss with sauce and sauce is served separate.. but that's nit picking.. Great video! Thanks!
Thank you ! That's interesting about the sauce served separately. But I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.
Oh yes!
Oh definitely yes !
Looks delicious. Can I use bread crumbs if I don;'t have old bread? Love your channel. Just discovered you. I am hooked!
Thank you Paula. For the bread crumbs, you have to be careful of the ones that look like sawdust, as they will make the meatballs mealy. If that's all you have , i would just add 1/4 cup (50 ml or so ) to this recipe. I hope this helps and that you also take a look at my lasagna video. I think you will love it.
Wow! The colors really POP - always such beautiful food & photography. Must try this as I've been forever searching for soft tender meatballs like the restaurant in my old neighborhood. Maybe the bread/water without milk, or fattier pork will do it. Is egg added unbeaten?
Why thank you so much! I love that your enjoying my food. We really try to make it look great also. I think you will love these meatballs. I did add the egg unbeaten and then mixed the whole thing together. By the time time egg is mixed is just about the right amount of time to work the meat to the perfect texture.
One of my ultimate comfort foods. I will be trying this soon. Are dry bread crumbs acceptable, and if so, would you add any liquid such as milk?
It's true right? Absolutely, you can use the dry bread crumbs although I would suggest the Italian style, as they seem to have more texture than the usual . I would rehydrate with water or milk , same as with bread to avoid the avoid them pulling out the moisture from the meatballs. I hope this helps.
It is so obvious, your passion, as a chef.There is no doubt that your marriage is healthy, as well.
What was the brand name of those SAN Marzano tomato’s in the jar?
I also love parsley, and a great source of iron. You can improve the flavor of pepperoncini flakes by removing the seeds.
I will never use Worcestershire sauce; I put it in Salisbury Steak, and its flavor seeped out into the sauce and not only flavored everything but added a rotten vinegar taste. It's also not very Italian. Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet would be better, or beef broth powder.
Browning the meatballs is necessary so they don't break up when you are stirring the sauce.
Christine in Mumbai, parsley and oregano are expensive. Could we use something like coriander and a leaf like basil (Tulasi). Or dried parsley and oregano would do?
In that case, I would go for basil and dried oregano. The coriander would take it in a more eastern direction . I hope this helps and that you try them. Thank you to you in Mumbai!
Looks so delicious 😋
Thank you ! It is indeed an inhaling situation.
In my opinion, authentic san marzano whole peeled tomatoes are the best canned tomatoes ever.
The only thing that surpasses this recipe is you. So fine - Ciao!!
i love to watch your videos again and again...superb cookin
I appreciate it. Thanks
@@ChristineCushing is it ok if we use part chicken instead of beef??
For some reason there is no video to see. The sign say video unavailable. I would love to view it and will check back. I love your cooking show on PBS.
The video is up now. Thank you for watching my PBS show. It has been so much fun and still many adventures to come. Stay tuned. Also on UA-cam
@@ChristineCushing Thanks, and I hope you are having a Blessed day.
Balisimo 😂😂👍💚
09:37 I hear ya Sister (although I’d never refuse a diamond 😉).
I could pig out on that Spaghetti & Meatballs🤪🤪🤪💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Anytime of day , night... ! I agree.
Hi Christine! I have to make that tonight! I have a question for you ,do you own a restaurant ? Thank YOU
🍅🍅🍽🍽🥂
Ginette Cataford I do not own a restaurant. 😀
@@ChristineCushing to bad for us!😎
No onion? Or oregano in the sauce? Basil, meat balls look great
Of course you could add onion and oregano into the sauce but I just kept it super simple for the purposes of this video. Also the meatballs have so much flavour that it's not essential. Thanks for watching and hope you try this great meatball recipe.
If you soak the bread in milk it makes more tender
Question- why grate the onions and not dice them?
That is a great question ( Pun intended ) .. By grating the onion, it will more quickly soften from the first frying , then gentle cooking of the meatball in sauce. It also adds a bit more moisture initially to the mixture because that liquid in onion is released during grating. It's how we always made it in our family and I prefer it. I hope that helps.
Love 5he pun love the explanation
Your husband is a lucky guy. Grrrrrrrrr😘
Why not use fresh tomatoes like Roman?
You can use fresh tomatoes , when in season and if good. It’s better to use a good quality canned tomato than a tasteless fresh tomato. Thanks for watching
Hello that’s how grandma made it.
Roxanne Malis I love it when I’m on the same page as grandma 😎
Is Spaghetti and Meatballs Italian?
The classic dish can be found in red-and-white tablecloth spots across the United States, but there’s a fascinating history behind where it got its start
Nothing says comfort like a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. And, nothing says Italian food like a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs-unless you are Italian.
If you go to Italy, you will not find a dish called spaghetti and meatballs. And if you do, it is probably to satisfy the palate of the American tourist.
So there you go, spaghetti and meatballs may not be Italian, but it is a symbol of Italian-American cuisine
The first is that Anglo-American diners were accustomed to having a starch accompaniment to their proteins, namely potatoes. To satisfy the requests of their clientele, these early Italian restaurants married the main course meat dishes with pasta.
You can never have enough cheese, IMHO.
It's true !
Is she Tina Fey’s Greek cousin🤔
Could be !
not suppose to fully cover tomato sauce. leave lid cracked
NEVER FULLY COVER SAUCE THAT IS COOKING...ALWAYS LEAVE IT SLIGHTLY CRACKED OR SAUCE WILL SOUR
Am I the only person who rolls my meatballs and then drops them in the sauce to cook? No frying!
Your recipe is delicious but, as a matter of fact, this is more an Italian -American dish than an authentic Italian pasta meal. Yummy nevertheless......
No oregano for me. I think it's too bitter and overtakes the dish. Imo
Of course, everyone has their particular preferences. I bring back oregano from Greece and it is amazing. Thanks for watching
