Beth's Spaghetti and Meatball Recipe | ENTERTAINING WITH BETH

[@biggerbolderbaking]

This was beautiful, Beth! I love the story and how much it means to you. I definitely have some multi-generational Irish recipes that I cherish. :-)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

I bet! I look forward to seeing those recipes on your channel one day :) I'm sure everyone would love it!

[@thecoralchannel]

We absolutely love family recipes! Loved seeing your family pictures as well! Thanks for sharing Beth.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw thanks for watching :) Can you tell I love a good family photo! LOl! :)

[@purplestar14]

You are adorable!I love your videos , Beth! They always bring a smile to my face.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

purplestar14 Aww thanks for watching! So glad you enjoy them! :) xx

[@mommabear5059]

I love the old pictures and the story behind this sauce. Thank you for sharing! 💐💕

[@kishdill]

Beth, I have always been the worst at making meatballs. I have made your meatballs 4 times now and each time they have been amazing! My kids like them and even asked for seconds! That’s high praise from my picky boys. I also shared them with my neighbor and he loved them too. Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe, love it and your videos!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

LOL! Aren't those meatballs the best?! HA! My kids LOVE them too! And sometimes I just make them and put them in a large casserole (without the pasta) pour the sauce on top and use them throughout the week for my kids lunches. They love that, popped in a thermos :) So yummy!

[@Cookedbyjulie]

I laughed at the "romance killer" and then you going on to say that you're happy with your 2 kids LOL Thanks for sharing this recipe and cute pictures xoxo

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

LOl right? Sometimes a romance killer isn't such a bad idea! LOL! Too funny :)

[@marshallcan7763]

Awesome idea! After my late grandmother passed we stumbled upon her homemade recipes. And what a treasure! Ever since, we gather and randomly choose 2-3 of her recipes and make them for big family gatherings. Just our way of keeping her indelible presence alive and well for each of us. Thank you for sharing Beth.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh I love that story and it's so true! There's nothing like sharing family recipes to keep those who have passed close at hand and in our hearts :) It's a great way to keep them present and pay tribute xx

[@jenniferbellotto7381]

I just want you to know my husband’s family is known for their meatballs and I have been making his family’s Italian meatballs for 35 years and I just made your meatballs without the fennel seeds but my family LOVVVVVED your family meatballs. So from now on it’s your family meatballs on our table. God bless you and your family.

[@richardmartinez6437]

You’ve inspired me so much Beth. My 6 year old son, and wife absolutely love the dishes I make replicating your amazing recipes. Please keep up the great work!

[@tomaseriksson6338]

This is great! One more fantastic recipe from Magic Beth!

[@Cc0564]

[@olgasantiago-agirlfriendsguide]

What a lovely story with this recipe. I appreciate you sharing this with us and our families! 😍🤗

[@scgirl3284]

I wait very impatiently every week for your videos ☺ love them!!!!

[@sarnicolec]

[@jojo123die]

(b4 that i usually dont eat breakfast~) really love ur cooking n i do hope that some day i will b a great cook like u!!! (as soon as i convince my mom that i wont blow up the kitchen.... or mayb move out from home n get my own kitchen....)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw so glad to hear that! Yes having your own kitchen one day is the best reward. I remember my first apartment and the little kitchen I had, I just loved experimenting in it and having the the ability to cook by trial and error :) Really the best way to learn!

[@CamiBolivar10]

This is just incredible.. looking back to old family photos, stories and all that remembering is pure joy! Your family looks so united and fun, Beth! I would say it in spanish: un soye total ¡! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.. It has sooo much history behind it!

[@giamm11]

recipes that come from our family history are definitely always the best..it was so lovely to see the old pictures and Beth you look like nonnie sooo much!! ;) have a great day, Gianmarco

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw thanks Gianmarco :) People do tell me that I look like her and that's always so nice to hear. She was such a special lady :)

[@josephineroe8424]

These meatballs look so good, and knowing there's some provolone hidden in there makes them even more tempting.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Oh yes that's definitely the best part! Ha! :) Hope you enjoy!!

[@chell720]

Having to prepare for a rather sad family reunion I really wanted to make a lite comfort food and I am definitely going to use this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your an inspiration to women who love to cook at home for their family. I know sharing family recipes is hard but I am Guatemalan and LOVE authentic Italian food so I appreciate you for sharing.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you bet. I'm sorry for the sad reunion, I hope this dish will provide some comfort to you and your family. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Hang in there.. :) xx

[@CelenCelen]

Beth, your recipes are just out of this world. Loads of love from Barb and Cecile from Barbados.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

***** Aww thanks guys :) So glad you enjoy them!

[@bUnique79]

This isn't the first time I've heard someone of an Italian background say that garlic wasn't used in tomato sauce recipes.. But I'm with you Beth, bring it onnnn! Lol

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

bunique79 Ha! LOL! So true everything's always better with garlic! :)

[@rallycatt1263]

I married an Italian and it was the ceaser slad that made me small like a dead animal?

[@AshkenaziChristian]

Instead of making my pasta water "taste like the sea" I instead add about 7-10 cloves of garlic to the water which then cooks sweet tender as the water boils and pasta cooks. After you add the meat balls to the pasta, THEN add your salt to taste. I decided to add raw garlic to the pasta water and love it - no recipe instructed me to do so and I've found only one other cook that's figured out this wonderful remedy to bland pasta for garlic lovers.

[@annabanana5546]

This recipe and the photos made me sooo happy Beth! My family is Italian, my father was born in Sulmona,Italy. And we called my grandfather Nonno and my grandmother Nonni. Meatballs are always a treat in my family because it's also a recipe passed through generations. ☺️☺️❤️❤️👌👌🍝

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aww love hearing that story :) It's so wonderful how food and heritage connects the generations :)

[@cynthiacaty]

Dear Beth, I tried it yesterday and it tasted so so delicious!!!! Thank you. I had a little twist of your recipe since I didn't have much money to buy all the ingredients. I used chicken sausage and pork for the meatball but i am sure if i have beef inside it will taste a lot better. I put Parmesan cheese inside the meatball (because i couldn't find provolone cheese) and the melt cheese in the meatball made everyone surprised!!!! Thank you for telling me to add the bread because it made my meatball nice and soft. I must do it again and again as this is a really great recipe!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

YAY! So glad it was a hit Cynthia! I love your swap outs and bet it was just as good! Doesn't the bread make all the difference! :)

[@Puertorrican1969]

I love the way Beth engages me with her recipes. I loved the provolone idea. The dish looks delicate and refined. will definitely added to my list!

[@lferram1647]

I made this for my Hubby a few weekends ago and he/we LOVED it. He has been craving spaghetti and meatballs but has a sensitivity to gluten and dairy so it can be challenging to enjoy classic meals at times. I made it with GF bread, non-dairy cheese, and rice spaghetti noodles and it was fantastic!!! My hubby enjoyed it soooo much, garlic in and gf garlic bread and all, LOL. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and stories, you inspire me :)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw so glad to hear it was a hit! :) And happy to hear the modifications worked and hubby enjoyed it :) "Big Nonna" would be proud! :)

[@lferram1647]

:)

[@alager27]

I am always sooo hungry after watching ur videos!! Thank u for sharing this delicious recipe

[@yellnutty]

Love how wholesome and easy this is Beth. Filled with four generations of love! I can't wait to try this out. Usually start my tomato sauce with sweating some onions and a bit of garlic in evoo. Also throw in the Italian seasonings at this point to get everything aromatic. And I have a laborious procedure for the meatballs sweat onions garlic n seasoning then add to the ground meets but I have to try this. Thanks for the beautiful share

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you bet! Yes this recipe is all about keeping the sauce easy-peasy so you can spend the time on the meatballs :) I hope you enjoy! :)

[@andreagrant13]

I shouldn't be watching this while I'm hungry. It looks so delicious.

[@shelley-annobrien5306]

Love this recipe. It was so nice u shared your family with us. Thanks Beth.

[@kasbiia]

You are so happy and calm I love your videos and personality :)

[@melg6902]

Oh, Beth this brought back so many memories. My Italian mother made her meatballs just like that (she learned from her mother) with the torn bread, milk & eggs. Thank you for this great recipe.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aw you are so welcome! It's funny because I bet over time when convenience and modernization won out, many families relied on bread crumbs because it must have been easier, and maybe they were no longer buying fresh bread? It's funny how recipes evolve! I find if you go back a few generations they were always better because they relied on fewer processed ingredients :) It's like taking a bite out of history :)

[@bethzaidavasquez6794]

I just love these passed on recipe. They are so special. Thank you!

[@MattECole]

This is unbelieveable I am just inspired beyond belief That meatball recipe is one of the smartest things I have ever heard With the cheese cube!!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Matt E. Cole Ha! Right?! That Aunt Mellarie knows what she is doing! :) It's the only way to go! Ha!

[@annegeline]

the history and recipe is just so lovely :) thank you for sharing!

[@VishakhaJoshiKothari]

I really love vlog-type cooking videos like this. It's what I used to watch all the time with my family on the Food Network when I was a kid. And I love watching people cook and tell stories. This video was really great!

[@yvonnesantiago7637]

You are fabulous. The videos are so interesting and fun to watch. There is always something to learn.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aww thanks :). So glad you enjoy them! :)

[@SocksLove]

Your daughters are so beautiful Beth! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with us and the history behind the dish! I really enjoyed it!

[@josephvalenti7268]

Thank you for the recipe, and the story of your family! I think that always makes the food experience richer !

[@desiriemendez]

I loved this little family story. How great. Thank you so much for sharing! I can’t wait to try

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! So glad you enjoyed it :) It's a real yummy one too! :)

[@normclark9062]

Loved the "standard operating procedure" statement! When I make turkey burgers I stick a slice of butter in the center when frying on the pan, thought that was the best idea, so sticking that cheese in the center of the meatball is definitely a must!!!

[@JessiPerez1234]

Oh my goodness 🤤 I must make this dish! Thank you for sharing Beth.

[@Liliann31]

Thank you for sharing looks incredible Beth!!! WOW

[@celesteenglish4924]

Beth, this is "EXACTLY" how I learned how to make spaghetti and meatballs from my mom. My mom was the only one that I knew besides me,that put bread , Italian sausage , and crushed tomatoes,and tomato paste in her sauce. Luv your channel. Always looking to see what you're cooking.🤗

[@idontlikegoats]

my Polish grandmother taught my mother, and then my mum taught me about soaking bread in milk. Is makes the meat so tender! Fantastic for any meatball recipe, burgers or meatloaf :)

[@thisblows200]

What a wonderful recipe to share. And it was also lovely seeing the history in your family with the recipe. :)

[@jackieostrander7199]

I so enjoyed the recipe .... but I loved the story of your family...I will try it wish me luck

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Ae so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the recipe too! It's so yummy! :)

[@sibylc2908]

I have never been a fan of spaghetti and meatballs because of heavy, dry meatballs. Using bread and milk sounds absolutely genius! I also like your suggestions for the meats. Now I can’t wait to try this recipe! I bet it will be amazing. 🤗

[@2terence2jones]

Thanks for sharing something so personal!

[@sarahkoehler6132]

Hi Beth! I've made your spaghetti and meatballs recipe many times now, and every time I make it for my family and friends, they all say it has the best meatballs they've ever had! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Sarah Martin YAY! So glad they were a hit! Aren't they yummy! :)

[@ungredda4]

this looks amazing and you should feel super proud of yourself

[@bcfriardoyle7697]

I sent my hubby to the grocery for minced beef because I was making a meatloaf for visiting family. When I opened the packages, it was veal! It was the best meatloaf I ever served. I will be making that again! I agree on the three meat combo for meatballs too! Obviously, we don’t have trouble finding minced veal. 😋

[@lieslkeepingitfresh]

This is my favorite all-time comfort food - great recipe!!!

[@Mokshakoshka]

Loved seeing your family story!!! I always thought you were French... thanks for sharing!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh yes! That's what I married into :) My husband is French, so I'm a dual citizen of the US and France. And then my Mom is of Irish-English origin. We'll meet her side of the family next week for St Patricks's day :) Stay tuned!

[@jenjenvasquez-simmons6341]

Beth! Thanks a lot for sharing....making meatballs that way is a real life changer. :) and I'm not even exaggerating. I really love your channel

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! So true! For me too! Half the mess and no fire alarms go off ha! :) So glad you enjoy the videos! Thx for your support! :)

[@CostcoclubbingMom]

Looks yummy! I cant wait to make this! Your family is beautiful & thank you for sharing a little bit of your family with mine!

[@LkwBeauty23]

Beth I love watching your videos and this one was one of my favorites because of all the history and my first video that I watched by you was the " Beth's full proof macaroon recipe" and I loved it you are one of my inspirations!!! Thank you Beth for your commitment to your channel

[@peggyscott2180]

This is the best I've ever seen!

[@VionyTania]

love meatballs! i always do a lot experiments with them; my current fav one is to brunoise onion and paste the garlic then caramelised them, cool before mixing into the ground meat. i add chopped basil instead of parsley, bread with milk or sometimes i use breadcrumbs if i don't have bread, salt and pepper to taste, mix of ground beef and pork, egg, ketchup (just a squeeze) and cheese inside (i've tried with gruyere and feta before but i didn't add much salt to the mix for feta since the cheese is pretty salty) i usually fry them on pan putting clockwise and sauté a bit of sliced/bruinoised onion (spanish or regular brown onion), a splash of balsamic vinegar then cook it with tomato sauce (i usually make a big batch of nap sauce and use it whenever i want to eat some pasta), add more fresh basil and parmesan cheese to finish the dish :)

[@giigii1313]

OMG this looks amazing!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@wotasticable]

I made these meatballs for our dinner couple nights ago, using mozzarella cheese instead of provolone, and my family and I were in love with them :)

[@afshanparkar9318]

[@gracerickard1553]

I like this recipe so much i am going to make it tomorrow for dinner and by the way i love your channel i love the way you cook and how nice it looks and turns out and how you put so much time into it i also like how you film and do the video by not doing voiceovers but actually saying it and showing you saying it it makes the video look so professional.

Entertaining With Beth made it today PERFECTION definitely making it again. Thanks for the great recipe:)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

[@madewithnancy]

Mmm that looks amazing Beth! Love the idea of adding the sausage meat in instead of just plain pork, I'm definitely going to try that the next time I make meatballs!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

You'll love the extra flavor they provide :) and so easy too! Enjoy!

[@PatriciaGG]

Delicious Beth! The women of my family make the meatballs in this way, except the provolone cheese. This is a great idea! I´ll use it the next time. Happy weekend!! Patricia.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Hi Patricia! Yes you MUST try with the cheese next time, it's sooooo good! :)

[@Terisajjju]

your videos are always a joy to watch ^^ also that feature at the end of your videos where you show a clip of other recipes.. fabulous!

[@MsUnicorncake]

Hey Beth! I made these today and they were the best meatballs eveeerrrrr. Only change I'd make it to go a little lighter on the fennel seeds, as the hubby is not crazy about that flavor. Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your family history through this fabulous recipe -- amazing to try something that's been time-tested through many generations :-)

[@baizeenamz]

You encourage me to be a better wife ! Encourages me to cook home cooked meals x

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

AWWW so happy to hear that. Personally for me I've found "home cooked meals" are the glue that keeps the family together. It encourages conversation at the table, puts everyone in a good mood, and shows those you love that you care by "nurturing them" with food that is good for their bodies and souls :) A home cooked meal can do so much more that just "feed people" if you know what I mean :) And you don't need to start by going crazy doing every night. Maybe just pick Sundays and then add Wednesdays, work up to 3x a week and before long you'll be doing it every night because you'll find you'll look forward to having things taste so much better it will be hard to go back :) And you'll enjoy all the praise and accolades that will come from your family :) Best of luck and keep me posted! Oh and here are some god recipes to get started with, all of them are 15-min meals! Easy right? xx B kzbin.info/aero/PLA8NZSto-k4PJpvIxwwrikXj9eT8Zfg6z baizeenamz

[@TheGabsBL]

Loved this video, Beth!!

[@Animetalchick]

Oh I remember those days! I used to love to make this with my college roommates too! :)
