I remember my father making homemade marinara (spaghetti) sauce 60+ years ago with drop meatballs. I do not know if he used crumbs or a Panade, but I do remember he used to double grind his beef to make the hamburger. I also remember how tender and tasty they were. The smell in the whole house as the sauce and meatballs simmered all day in a pot on the stove was fabulous. Thank you for bringing back this memory.

Tried making this the other night. 5 out of 5 stars, the meatballs are amazingly delicate, have marvelous flavor, and the texture is heavenly - not 'spongy' or 'springy' like many store-bought meatballs. Going to add this to a regular rotation when I'm in the mood!

I found these videos about a month ago. LOVE THEM!!! I tried these and decided to season my panade instead of everything all at once. I used oregano, fennel seed, fennel, pepper, salt, nutmeg, red pepper flakes and garlic powder. This way the seasonings are distributed evenly. I usually make my own Italian sausage using some of those ingredients and ground pork straight from our local whole hog pork dealership her in Raleigh, NC. I added the parmesan after putting both ground beef and pork into the panade, then mixed by hand. Then I browned a little bit to taste the meat before making meatballs with a scoop server. It turned out fantastic and very tender. I'm freezing half the meatballs as they are so I can just take them out and use them anyway I please later, I will thaw them before browning). Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Just made ‘em with ground turkey and I was very pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Very moist and soft with tons of flavor. Easy too! Only thing I did differently is I refrigerated the meatball mixture then formed them right before plopping them in the sauce. This saved cleanup of a sheet pan and for the first time ever I had perfectly ROUND meatballs. I also added a little sugar to the sauce to temper the acidity of the crushed tomatoes. Highly recommend!

While my late husband had talent, my current husband... not so much. So, I wow him with plant based substitutions, reaching for all of the taste, none of the guilt, with a better nutrition profile. He's gained 60# since we married. I've maintained. He eats whatever during the day, Vegan or lacto-ovo at home. I invite you to look into plant based for your health concerns, sans judgement. My mom's an Omni; still love her. For ideas and Science of this all, I recommend the KZbinrs Brian Turner, Simnett Nutrition, and Mic the Vegan.

I cook my pasta differently I add the pasta to the cold water and once it begins to boil the pasta is done. When I drain the pasta I save 1/2 a cup of the water it cooked in and stir it back into the drained pasta. Doing this makes the sauce really stick to the pasta. I picked this up from my mother and have always done it this way.

This meatball recipe is one of our favorites for pasta & meatballs, but we use the pasta sauce as a starting point and add to it such as browned onions & Italian herb blend. I'm surprised ATK didn't use a cookie dough / ice scream scoop to measure all the meatballs. The trigger release makes it so easy and quick. We usually make the sauce first and then just drop the meatballs directly into the sauce from the scoop. No need to dirty a cookie sheet unless we make them ahead of time.

I made this dish tonight, and I wish I had read this comment before I made the recipe. We did not eat all of the sauce, despite having nine people for dinner here tonight. There is still pasta and sauce left. But I have to agree that three cans of tomatoes would have been better than two for the amount of pasta I made. But my major complaint is with the fact that renders from the meatballs. After tonight, I'm starting to wonder if it might be better in the end, if less convenient, to Brown the meatballs, at least partially, before they go into the sauce. I would rather do that, then try to skim rendered fat off the surface of a sauce like this. Perhaps I should have anticipated the need to skim the fat from the sauce before serving, but I wish that the folks in this video would have pointed out that necessity, just to make sure that the dish turned out perfectly for the person making it.

@@twosocks1976 I think it would depend on the type of meat people get. Some ground meat might have more fat than others or some might add more sauce to which would naturally be more than the fat. Regardless, it would have been nice to add a note saying "if there's to much fat..." etc. I would think browning the meatballs would would have been a better choice taste wise but I think they're aiming for an easy weeknight meal hence the title of the video. They have another video of Julia making spaghetti and meatballs from home and it's a lot more involved, but she called it a weeknight meal that made more mess with more pans. Weird. Anyway, like Jacque Pepin said: "never follow a recipe to the letter".

@@elephantgrass631 I don't know what you mean by saying that some ground meat has more fat than other ground meat. When I go to the store and I buy ground beef that is 85% lean, I know how much fat I'm getting. Also, I'm familiar with the other recipe you mention for spaghetti and meatballs. I haven't made it yet, mostly because I am not a fan of trying to Brown meatballs on all sides in a skillet, because they never stay around. And I really like that round shape of course I don't get those when Browning in the oven either, but at least the fat renders off that way.

However, the sauce was too acidic- I think adding a bit of sugar or other sweetener would have helped add some balance. Meatballs were great though. I was a bit worried they would break up, but I refrigerated them the night before and they were a lot firmer the next day.

This is a great recipe and I recently made it for the first time. Just one note: make sure you skim the fat from the top of the sauce when it comes out of the oven. The meat (85/15) releases all of its fat into the sauce, which is a lot. Another tip is to add a little sugar. There are no chopped sautéed onions so the sauce is missing a little of the sweetness that I’m used to.

The caramelisation is adding a layer of flavour, and I doubt these would fall apart if browned first. Meanwhile, I encourage and invite you to experiment with plant based faux meats. No judgement from me, just hoping to excite true foodies to explore everything that's out here now. Sure, I do it to replace cruelty with plants, but if it tastes as good or better, there are no losers, while some animals gain time, hoping to see the sun once before they are killed. Or more than once. Maybe daily. Maybe playing in a field, as we eat plant based, without missing the taste of... their lost innocence and happiness. You're invited, any time. Even one plant protein meal means you'll be sparing at least one animal a gruesome end.

I prefer the texture of them browned. These look too much like small meatloaf. Good recipe, but I would brown them first - and spice them a lot more... ok... good start of a recipe ha ha 😎

Can you explain if there's any particular reason for adding the seasonings at the end of the meat mixture rather than to the dry cracker crumbs before adding the milk?

"We use saltines because they have less moisture than Panko." [WTF? I'm pretty sure Panko has less moisture than the surface of the moon] ***Dumps a cup of milk over crushed saltines***

Actually, she never said saltines "have less moisture than panko," although it was implied. Your quotation is a false one. What she said was "So usually we use fresh bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs, but today we're going to be using saltines; and the main reason we're using saltines is because we found that there's less moisture in the saltines, and it made the meatballs less gummy." What she probably meant was that saltines have less moisture than fresh bread crumbs.

Dairy and plant milks are mostly water, but with proteins that shrink to bind. If there's already water in another ingredient, such as differing amounts between crumb sources, that can mean less protein to bind, more water to make gummy, via cooking starches. Hope this helps. And I encourage plant based subs for the ground dead cattle, and the cow mammary secretions.

if slicing garlic releases flavor compounds...would say 2 sliced garlic clove equal 10 cracked garlic cloves..?
@nikkisweezea2388
@nikkisweezea2388 4 жыл бұрын
It's actually the opposite. Slicing them leaves the flavor compounds on the cutting surface and the knife, so they don't make it into the dish. Not, releases them more fully into the dish.

I will continue to use potato flour as usual. Around one table spoon per pound of meat. And I will squish them, fry them in the pan and call them meat cakes. I know that some heathens will use ground dried ginger in addition to my secret ingredient nutmeg.

Let's say one wishes not to use any dairy? What are adequate substitutes for the milk and parmesan?
@majoroldladyakamom6948
@majoroldladyakamom6948 4 жыл бұрын
Soy milk, tofu (which absorbs flavors that it's cooked in). Comes in soft, medium and firm. Almond milk for many International/Asian meatballs, Bok Choy, blender or juiced bland veges, water? Hope this helps... ? Many other meatball recipes out there, vegan, vegetarian. I like a mixture. 1 part ground 90/10 meat, 2-4 parts tofu or other ingredients. Bread crumbs, rice flour, etc. With the right/correct seasoning, any thing is possible, right? 🤗 For the parm sub? Just don't toss it in. Use whatever you have on hand. Stay safe, ok? ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘

I recommend Silk 10g protein cashew and almond milk (with pea protein), and Violife parmesan. There is none better than this latter. For mozz, either Fieldroast Chao original, or Myoko's Mozz. The best faux meat for this would likely be Beyond. That's what I'm going to try. I was lacto-ovo for 30 years, leant heavily Vegan, now Vegan for about 2 years (with some dairy slips). Both my late and current husbands were/are Omni, but no meats at home. I loved/love wowing them with all of the taste, better nutrition, and zero guilt. Meanwhile, they ate/eat garbage when not here. My first husband died of his umpteenth heart attack at 56, on our front walk. My dad died at 57, of sepsis from a bowel obstruction, and my current husband is ten years younger, looks older than I do, and has gained 60# in less than three years. Smh... You are invited to explore plant based foods for health, longevity, and taste. Be well.
