As an Italian who does not eat wheat anymore (yes, I know!) I have found that using some ricotta in place of the bread / breadcrumbs works phenomenally well.

[@danalley6376]

How much?

[@VoodooViking]

Also potatoes actually do pretty well also. I know it’s def different, but not bad. Also fried strips of squash does really good too.

[@didi012578]

​@danalley6376 Obviously, the same amount as you would breadcrumbs.

[@cdub42]

When Chef John does that tomato crushing stage, he says in no uncertain terms that you should do it with you hands, then says something like "sure you could do it another way, but then you wouldn't feel what I'm feeling, and I want you to feel what I'm feeling!". So great, and a testament to Sonny that he hits the same mark! Great video, I'll try the recipe sometime soon :)

Spaghetti and Meatballs is my family's favorite Sunday dinner. I've been making more or less the same recipe for almost 10 years. Yesterday I followed your instructions and oh brother was it worth it. The meatballs were a lot more dynamic and I would usually add ricotta but I think the combo of the fresh bread w/ milk and the mirepoix made them more moist and less dense. The sauce technique also helped level me up a bit. Thanks so much for making your videos.

OMG Sonny.... I've been in therapy for 8+ years straight (blame my mom, don't most of us?), anyway, one of her most remembered reminders is: "You are in the ocean, you are being tossed by the waves, you have to learn to surf the waves around you, best you can, to keep that head above water." It's the same no matter what you are doing, you gotta bob, and dip with the waves, as they travel up and down, that's LIFE, man. It's been one of the most helpful things my therapist ever told me and you are straight up equating it to cooking and I LOVE that. It's so true. You just gotta bob with the waves, dude.

Just tossed my meatballs in the oven for a nice Sunday family dinner. Thank you for this! Such a nice recipe. The smells filling the house... This is what I want my family to remember when they're grown up. Recommend when you taste test, throw just a little bit of your sauce in there with it - not on it, just on the side.

11:53 we have no other choice, I live in a house with my mom and 3 siblings. When my mom cooks spaghetti she doesn’t cook like 1 or 2 portions per person, she cooks enough spaghetti that we can eat as much as we want and even more for 2-3 days, that doesn’t fit in a pan to cook the spaghetti and sauce, she has a pot of spaghetti and then a HUGE pot of sauce And it’s the best spaghetti I’ve ever eaten (and I’ve eaten A LOT of spaghetti)

[@jbones7552]

I miss when my dad would do the same thing. His was so good that us kids had no problem eating it multiple times a day until it would sadly run out. Make sure to cherish those times!

San Marzano? Aren’t they protected by a European designation company?

[@ronj5714]

Been cooking 30+ years. Had an Italian neighbor from Italy tell me when I was young, over at her house cooking homemade sauce. She said, never forget to add 1-2 tsp sugar, & add large pinch of baking soda- kills the acid & stops heartburn & indigestion for many people. San Marzano tomatoes are key, & cook on low, cover, & cook longer for better flavor.. Come to find out, she was right. ❤

[@jbwjr54]

I am making this dish for Easter Dinner! It’s the Sicilian in me. I had to quadruple the recipe for the 10 family members. I’ll let you know how it comes out! This is definitely different from my family recipe. We use browned pork neck bones and and let it simmer most of the day, stirring regularly. Then I debone the meat mix back in the sauce and Mangia!

The meat balls are amazing. I took the suggestion of using ricotta. I like a sweeter sauce so a little brown sugar was added. Delicious and the process was worth it.

San Marzano tomato’s and brass extruded pasta is a game changer .. I now know why the pasta is key in pasta recipes especially when using the San Marzano tomato and a better pasta that’s brass extruded.. when I changed those two ingredients it definitely elevated my pasta meals .. I won’t go back to store brand pastas that are not brass extruded.. it makes a big difference in the end results..

[@nathanperrem6007]

I have cooked a lot of meatballs in my time, I cooked these today and they're the best by far! Try this recipe. I baked 2 trays of meatballs at 400 for more like 45 mins and did a low broil for 5 mins. I like more brown on top. Don't be afraid to go heavier on the herbs - I did loads of fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, sage and parsley. Bit more salt and red pepper flakes. 5/5

[@DanielJohnson-ec8rk]

Pan searing is the only way to properly cook and brown meatballs. Finished in the sauce until cooked through

Looks amazing. Apricot jam sometimes works in tomato sauce dishes. A small amount. The flavor must be waay back in the line, and just a vague hint of sweetness. Like a 3rd of a teaspoon in something this size.

[@dylanstarr9061]

I always add some red wine vinegar and some paprika to red sauce. The paprika adds more fo a mouth feel thna a flavor, creaating this added warmth that tingles the mouth and sticks around after the sauce has gone down and the vinegar adds some body to yhe sauce that just makes it really distinct and its own thing.

hot tip. Deep fry your meatballs at 160c for about 30 seconds first. It seals all of the juice in and make sure they dont fall apart when they're in the sauce

DUDE!!! A) I am making this recipe!! and B) I just sent this to Vincenzo's Plate to review!! I would love to see you two do a video together! Peace, dude.

[@charlesparr1611]

This is almost exactly how I make my meatballs. The only substantial differences are that I add finely diced red bell pepper to my sofrito, and some mushroom stems that I grind up to a paste. I roast the meatballs at 450 on convection fan, which makes them darker on the outside and still raw in the centre. Then I bring my sauce (the sauce is almost identical, except I usually add some white wine early on ) up to a simmer, drop my (fridge cold) meatballs in and do them in the oven instead of the stovetop. I make sure the meatballs are fully submerged, and I finish them at 350 with no lid, but every 15 minutes I rotate the meatballs which keeps the surface of the sauce from burning and adds some flavour I think. I almost never simmer anything on the stovetop if I can avoid it, because even after decades as a pro, I still find it's too easy to burn the sauce to the bottom of the pan and ruin the dish. To be honest, it's rarely happened, but a couple times when it did it was such a disaster that it changed the way I tend to cook. Wrecking large pots of extremely expensive shellfish bisque will do that. I really should try making your rosemary salt, it sure sounds delicious.
