    I remember back in college, I went to my roommate's house for dinner. Their nonna was over helping mom cook dinner. My roommate just wanted to play video games, so I wandered into the kitchen and asked Nonna if I could help.
    She looked at me like "You want to do WHAT?" then came over and gave me a big hug. She and roommate's mom started teaching me how to cook - which also made roommate very happy of course 😝
    Good mentors, no matter what their craft, are truly worth their weight in gold.

      @@supergram7409 I grew up having a grandma who had a massive fig tree beside her house. She lived just outside of downtown in a historic side of the city (civil war battle) in one of its old suburbs, which of course was a small lot. I didn't know how blessed it was to have something like that in such a place as it wasn't exactly a farm.
      That tree was always full of figs, in the tree and on the ground from going overripe. It was the most fragrant of any tree I'd ever experienced.
      It's the reason to this day figs are my favorite fruit. They are absolutely heavenly. Truly divine. Plums and peaches are up there (the ones with no sour spots in them), but figs are truly special.

    Before my Italian mother died 2.5 years ago she taught me her recipe for meatballs and sauce. Your grandma and my mom are the only ones that I know of that use veal in their meatballs. All the restaurants never use it. However, what my mom did with her meatballs was to brown them in a frying pan first and THEN put them in the sauce. That sauce would simmer for AT LEAST SIX HOURS before removing the meatballs and then about another hour before jarring the sauce.
    Back in the 80s my mom would make this sauce EVERY Sunday. It became such a ritual that I nicknamed it Sunday Sauce. Everyone who has ever tasted mom's meatball and sauce recipe LOVED THEM.
    I remember one time in the late 80s a friend came over one night and I heated up some meatballs and a little sauce in a bowl and told him to try the best meatballs and sauce he ever tasted. After the first bite he literally never took his eyes off the bowl and held it near his face to inhale the aroma. Whenever I jokingly tried to take the bowl he turned to prevent it.
    Another time I remember was when was in college and my graphic design class was having a Christmas potluck that the students brought in. Well the night before mom and I made 65 meatballs and sauce, to large pot fulls. Then next morning I brought in container full of meatballs and sauce and a crockpot for them to simmer in throughout the day. OMG!!!! You want to talk about the most popular dish in the room. Once that crockpot was going ALL the students were "drooling" to get some meatballs. The aroma wafted out of the classroom into the hall and anyone passing by would stop at the door and inhale. In a very short time ALL the meatballs were gone.
    Mom's recipe was handed down from her mom and from her mom going back to the homeland. That's when you know you have a good recipe.

      Maybe the use of veal is regionally based. My grandmother from the Naples region used this mix. My grandmother from Sambuca Sicily did not. Also as someone said already there was white bread and milk in my Napolitano grandmother's mix.
      Napolitano Grandmother put the meatballs to cook in the gravy raw; Sicilian grandmother panfried them then put them in the gravy.
      Also the Sicilian gravy was thicker and browner and stuck to the pasta more since she used crushed and paste instead of pureed tomatoes. She added sugar as well, probably to offset acidity from the amount of paste used 🤣

    ❤You had me at “Nonna”!! I love to learn family cooking recipes. My “Nanna” (b.1897)was from Germany, so my mother’s idea of spaghetti & meatballs was meatballs more resembling meatloaf. With breadcrumbs, an egg and grated carrot and bell pepper, etc.
    And then, she took a can of tomato juice, not sauce, a big can of tomato juice and poured it over the browned meatballs. That was it. She might have sprinkled a little oregano in there. And did I mention that she rinsed the pasta.
    Back then in Texas that was “I”talian!! (But she made a great stuffed cabbage roll❤️.)

    I just discovered your channel and you just happened to be cooking my favorite food in the world meatballs and pasta and meat sauce, it looks absolutely delicious. Aside from the cooking the family getting together and sharing a meal together is awesome!

    This is an authentic immigrant attitude from the 40’s, 50’s. Grateful people willing to do whatever it takes to make it in the country.

    My great grandmother's recipe box were in lunch plate, dinner plate measurements.
    It took me years to change to normal measurements.
    Loved every minute of it.
    Thank you for sharing your grandparents

    I played this over and over again so I could write down the recipe. I think would be a great idea if you would make a cookbook for your grandmas all of her great recipes she has not only will it be great for your family to have something passed down from generation to generation, but the public would love to have something that taste so delicious.
