ITALIAN FOOD THE BEST😊

This Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe looks so delicious 😋 Chef Lidia.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Learned sauce and meatballs from my Mom. Sauce is straight forward. Good tomatoes, herbs and seasonings, no sugar. Bring to slow boil then lower heat and simmer, three hours, stirring every half hour. Prepare meatballs. Mama taught me to soak bread in milk, squeeze out excess. No bread crumbs. Add eggs to bind along with the same recipe you show here. Shape meatballs. During last hour of sauce cooking, gently drop raw meatballs into sauce starting around outer edge of pot, working in a circle to the center. Let sauce come back to temperature slowly. Do not stir for first 30 minutes, simply shimmy the pot back and forth, to make sure they don’t stick. Once the meatballs are cooked, you can gently stir. Mama never fried or baked the meatballs. She said sauce flavors the meatballs and the meatballs flavor the sauce. I think the differences are regional. There’s no right or wrong way but these recipes are handed down to generations. Unfortunately I am the last cook in my family. So my Moms family legacy in the kitchen ends with me. Younger folks love to eat it but I think they believe the food magically appears on the table. LOL. GRAZIE, Lidia.

My relatives are the same. They live on wraps and chicken nuggets

[@rosemultari9534]

I never fry my meatballs just into the sauce Half an hour before the sauce is done

[@aquamarine7705]

MABUHAY ! LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES. BEEN YOUR FAN SINCE 2020😚😚😚🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@markgordon5387]

Beautiful food. I'll take four portions to start with. If it tastes good, I'll take more.

[@mariaorsic9763]

Thank you Lydia for your everlasting passion. That being said, IF you ever want to get REAL about taste, THEN please reveal your “sources” for your ingredients, not your sponsors BUT your sources. Thank you!

ADORO QUESTA DONNA❤❤❤❤❤

[@pesos1274]

Looks delicious 👍🏾👍🏾

[@bryant6524]

whoever married you, stumbled into a gold mine! excellent!

[@kathleengreen6889]

I never heard of flouring your meatballs in our Italian family. I’m sure they’d taste good and help thicken the sauce. We love meatballs!

[@stephenshapiro1159]

You are the best of the best!!

[@olsenlibra623]

¡Un classico! 🍝😋👍

[@ddsherds87]

I feel like frying the meatball adds texture to help the sauce stick better

[@cassandraduran9056]

My favorite food

[@josephpanzarella1417]

I learned to make meatballs when I was 10. Your meatball ingredients are exactly the same as the ones we use. Though we also added ground pepper. And usually whole bread broken into small pieces instead of breadcrumbs. But that's it. Never overspice your meatballs! We also fried them first, though I know people who simply add them into the sauce raw. But I don't think the texture is as good that way.

[@-RONNIE]

A classic recipe that everybody likes spaghetti and meatballs

[@patriciagrier282]

Hey Miss Lidia ❤. 😋

[@neyopa]

Bared hands in the kitchen for the pros and leave the gloves for the amateurs and fast food workers. ❤

[@adatorres2902]

THAT LOOK GOOD UMM LIDIA

[@mikep8683]

I miss Lidia's pasta. It used to be at several grocery stores here in NYC but I haven't seen any in a couple of years. I can't even find it at Eataly!! Where is it??

[@tonistoian1480]

😋😋😋😋😋😋

[@derekmorrison4191]

🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@FadwaDif]

Please, kindly, find two old recipes of yours, which are small fish, perhaps sardines, baked in the oven with many layers of onions, and a recipe for calamari. At that time, you included a method for cleaning it and cooking it on steam. Thank you very much.

[@kathleengreen6889]

Delicioso❣️🇮🇹

[@JerichoStephen]

[@mawi1172]

We forgive you using bare hands. Those are some very special hands, our love! Talented hands. You get me COMPLIMENTS on my cooking! Big ones! I love your hands, Lydia.

[@marybaldassano1253]

First time I have seen meatballs dredged in flour

[@CarrieGoehle]

Is the meat regular or lean?

[@بنديدي]

سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

[@stevenlawrence5733]

Why flour the meatballs?

[@WineWhiskeyNH]

I think her enamel pots are used only once. Everyone looks brand new. Mine look used and worn no matter how hard I wipe and wash them.

[@stevegambill5291]

Where is the recipe, please?

[@CeciliaRussomanno-q2l]

I thought mixing bread soaked in milk is better than breadcrumbs.

[@gaetanamilanese8709]
