Meatball Pasta Bake Recipe - SORTED

[@conoryayy]

I think it would be great if you did a series on cheap, healthy, student meals. I watch each one of your videos and, although they look delicious, some of the ingredients can either be a bit hard to come by or too expensive. As a student, a few videos with affordable, filling and tasty recipes would be fantastic!

[@KyianaDawn]

I totally agree, affordable and healthy food for 1 or 2 students..

[@aejlindvall]

Yeah, that's a great idea!

[@llamzrt]

How long have you been watching? Most of their early videos were designed for students (I think they were students themselves at the time), but yeah they have branched out into fancier stuff as of late.

[@DearShika]

Omg yes that would be so nice ! ^^

[@klte1]

Of course, keeping all of those ideas in mind, don't forget the easy washing up requirement! A lot of students aren't very fond of doing the dishes, so things like one-pot recipes would be great. This recipe, for example, used 3 pans, 2 cutting boards, 2 bowls, and a baking dish, together with some utensils. I'm really liking the idea, but if the Sorted crew would ever get around to doing a 'recipes for students' series, they should not only be simple/cheap, but cooking them also shouldn't create a mess, in my opinion. :D

[@ChelseaMsChannel]

It's amazing to see what student staples are around the world. Student staples here in the USA are Ramen Noodles, Mac and cheese, Hot dogs, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, and pizza. You guys do this comfort-foody goodness at University and it makes me so jealous!

[@kira.b]

Why would it make you jealous, you can always switch up what youre eating and make some of sorteds recipes

[@ChelseaMsChannel]

Kira B​ Not a lot of college kids here have access to ovens or stoves. I am lucky enough to have one now, but back when I was a freshman it would've been nice to be able to cook my own food like this.

[@Elinious]

Kira B Well that might be normal in your part of Europe but not in mine lol

[@kira.b]

+Elinious what part of europe are you from? Though I could also imagine that this is differing from school to school. Then again everyone I know from different schools in Germany that's living in a dorm at least has a stove

[@Elinious]

Kira B Netherlands. The uni doesn't even have dorms, there's corporations you have to go to. I have a small oven and electric stove but only because I wanted them so provided them myself.

[@Charcole514]

I think I'm going to play a drinking game where I marathon SortedFood videos, and every time Jamie subtly gives a concerned look at the camera when Ben says something innocently suggestive, I take a drink of Gin and Tonic.

[@SortedFood]

Charlotte Thurber Careful, that could get out of hand :P

[@ThatPerthFan]

+Charlotte Thurber or when Ben can't say worcestershire sauce and either doesnt sa anything or says "Lea & Perrins"

[@jordanparr7574]

+CityRuler1 don't forget whenever Ben says "sprig of mint" :D

[@toniodejimi3905]

Don't forget when Ben says " a knob of butter "

[@xXAnni3LuvsYhuXx]

Don't forget when he saying "turning those balls"

[@laurenstafford6643]

I keep adding lots of your recipes to a playlist ready for when I go to Uni! :)

[@Mary-yg5wp]

I'm addicted to Sorted Food! I'm currently at school and it gives me serious food envy! :)

[@Emily-pk9vo]

Breadcrumbs or crushed plain crisps make for a lovely crust on a pasta bake! Definitely going to try this meatball version mmm!

[@PuppeRutsu]

Just when I thought pasta and meatballs couldn't get any better, it got SORTED!!!! this sounds delicious and is a must try for everyone!

[@amoenus_dev]

Very simple and looks super delicious

[@EZGlutenFree]

I love baked pastas. It looks good. I'd use my family recipe for the meatballs and sauce but I love the idea as a whole.

[@manalshamsan5334]

I've tried this recipe its amazing, i just added roasted red bell peppers to the sauce and boom it gave it another dimension. Thumbs up

[@lortaylor21]

I love pasta bake. I made some last week. But I put pepperoni and spicy italian sausage in mine. I'm definitely going to give this recipe a go.

[@carloinfantino4966]

I'm making this tonight. Thank you 😊 💓 for sharing this video

[@julilin8944]

i've just made this, it was so delicious! :)

[@BbyPigeon]

I need someone who looks at me the way Jaime looks at that pasta bake

[@scottwilkinson655]

My new favourite channel by far! :D

[@ermo_my]

time to cook something new in my kitchen :) thanks for the awesome recipe! ~~

[@ebr2866]

Quick question what flavour stock cubes would you use or does it not matter?

[@Moulinrougebabe1]

I would kill for a student/budget series....? love the books btw :D xxoo

[@iwatchvidswiththis]

I was seriously worried that basil Ben added at the end was a sprig of mint

[@hewwo2731]

1:45 did Ben say 'salted' or 'sorted'? :D

[@AdrianaOrtiz-ff7mx]

Haha I was confused in another video about this too! I thought he was talking about "Sorted Water", and I thought they got some kind of special branded water, and I was shocked at the ridiculousness until I understood how I was messing up haha

[@cle3446]

hime I spotted The8 :p

[@Didyouknow10]

student recipes would be a great series to do!

[@kimjongun2540]

Now this was a long time ago and it was an excellent recipe better than fancy ones nowadays

[@MarthaBSinging]

This looks insane. I NEED this.

[@sna8854]

what else I can use instead of the red wine? :)

[@Deeluvsmusic97]

why am I watching this when Im so hungry rn omggg

[@lewisevans6235]

Made this for my family - it's so good

[@stefancassar8841]

Baking pasta is embedded in Maltese cuisine. You guys should definitely tap in Malta and make it part of a renewed Sorted Goes series. Gennaro is one of many who can testify for Maltese food :)

[@Ah-qk6wx]

I like how they say "tuck in." xD

[@BlackCat_2]

I think this is the first thing that you all have made that really made me wish I was there too. :) I am going to have to make it straight away. :) - Heidi

[@lmc5764]

I know you've done videos similar to this before, but a possible series on student meals (or even just people on a budget) would be great. Like what to buy, where to buy it, how to stretch your meals and money further, and not just be limited to noodles and bread. XD

[@beccameasor9793]

I don't even like pasta all that much, but I'm craving this now.

[@MultiBigbird01]

my mum always used to make pasta bake every month but then stopped after a while and now only makes chicken and tomato pasta!

[@reginaromsey]

The sugar helps cut the acid from the tomatoes. I was beginning to have a problem with acid tummy when eating spaghetti or anything heavy on cooked tomatoes until a Chef friend told me about this fix. It doesn’t change the flavor by using just a teaspoon or so.

[@pruplemango]

I like to bake my meatballs. This looks great - may have to try this pasta bake this weekend when it will be -12 here!

[@addalittlefood]

Looks super easy and delicious!

[@londonrobinson2922]

This looks SO good!

[@muhammadimranashgarali5474]

What's a good substitute for red wine ? Thanks

[@sundustii]

I LOVE THIS RECIPE. I've made it so many times for my family or my bf and I and it is always a hit! One of the best "hidden" finds I got off your website before all the #tbt :D

[@melissaatherfold2704]

Hiya Ben you have travelled a lot is there anywhere you would go to again or even where do you want to visit xx

[@icehotchilli]

This looks fantastic even after I had a big dinner. It's funny to see Ben got picked on and asked for repeat saying Worcestershire, haha. Quick question, is it better to let the meat balls chill in the fridge for a little bit and cook in the pan? Thanks for the awesome recipe as always :)

[@JanetSuzanne]

I'm going to make this again tonight- last time it was a success with my family

[@Isabella1497]

This looks FANTASTIC!!!!! but I have a challenge for Ben!! My mom and I were talking last night about creme brulee and souffles and I thought, what if there was a creme brulee souffle!! I figured, if anyone could figure it out, you guys could! I hope you guys see this! :D

[@Tan3l6]

Sounds delicious

[@Misshowzat]

"One of you strip off..." Jamie: 😘 Ben: No Haha, I love how he walks right into that kind of thing

[@ohford]

That looks so good

[@TheAmandaTSH]

How would you suggest to make the sauce thicker, or have a cheese bake pasta?

[@alicebriggs7810]

What red wine would you suggest using - I've never cooked with wine before so have no idea what to use

[@dcdlikithard]

I miss these recipe videos from sorted food

[@MissxMelx94]

Yay! Something new for me to try with my beef mince! Thanks for the student meal guys! (Though I do like your 'fancy' food too).

[@MelanieGalima]

omg this made me soo hungry, looked so good

[@chitji]

How can I store this after it is baked and for how long?

[@charissapoh5926]

huge mistake to watch this at 12am

[@lanahammersmith6262]

Can you tell which pasta brand did you choose? Curious to know :)

[@exssyonatan]

I love that live been here long enough To havr Seen all oft these

[@subharor]

Awesome.. so easy.. love it!

[@TakingBabyStepsBlog]

Needed some healthyish comfort food for dinner tonight, this fits the bill perfectly!😍

[@kerokerobonita]

"A pinch of sugar" *dumps a handful*

[@TheMightyFiction]

Might this work with leaner turkey meatballs?

[@ImjustKelly73]

Delicious! Love the meatball pasta bake! Simple, easy one dish casserole of Yumminess! TFS! :)

[@KaedeSenou]

Watching these old videos, it’s clear that running a food channel has really taken a toll on the boy’s bodies… 😊

[@womei159753]

What can I use to substitute the red wine?

[@PBoucheng]

Nothing is better than good looking men cooking, with accents.

[@zaffylovesmoi]

what can use as a substitute for red wine?

[@altarism]

What can you replace the wine with?

[@SuohMikotoTheRedKing]

It's 3:20 am and I am very hungry and watching Sorted is making it worse but I can't stop

[@jessesucksatviolin5113]

This looks pretty epic :)

[@aishasalsabilla4584]

Can you change the wine with something non alcoholic?

[@Craccpot]

Just want to ask something. How can you guys stand that much rosemary? Even one stalk is strong enough for me at least, can't imagine multiple stalks.

[@TieganSwift]

Really? I don't find it strong at all really

[@Craccpot]

TieganSwift maybe I'm just not used to it.

[@HeggemusNL]

wafzulmi52 It ofcourse depends on how big you leave the rosemary. If you chop it up very finely, you will be able to handle it better.

[@Craccpot]

Sjors Hegger thanks for the tip!

[@anjubanjumanju]

same, rosemary is such a strong herb to me

[@maryse8641]

Does #tbt means throwback thursday ?

[@Джуджу-ю9ч]

As always nice, guys!!!

[@keeleyringin2170]

Something I could substitute the wine with?

[@DelsonGirl]

Do they re-film for #tbt or do they just re-upload?

[@alec8182]

Re upload I think

[@JessRushworth]

it's videos that have been on the website, but not on the youtube channel :) so re-uploads

[@zennithshroom]

Is the cheese suppose to be both type of cheese or just 1 type of cheese ? Cause Im cooking it right now with my family.

[@aliceboss3134]

In some regions in Italy we actually do lasagne with little fried meatballs inside. Fucking amazing!

[@Taima1504]

Will it still work if i don't use wine or any other type of alcohol

[@KyianaDawn]

Looks great :)

[@Fluffykitty1609]

i dont have winchesterkfiabdjjcs sauce and wine... what substitute can i use to replace wine and winchestdjtfjb sauce ?

[@Cereal_For_Lunch]

We have the same knives!!

[@iahgirl3412]

Seriously so in love with Ben

[@xXxanimefangirlxXx]

Love your videos! I've been binge watching all the Sorted stuff for the past week or so, and while it's fun, I have to say there's one little thing that's really been bothering me. Stop putting raw meat on your wooden cutting boards! Ben, you're smart. You know better! I realize it's just for a video, but not everyone knows their food safety and someone might copy you! I've caught ya'll doing it a couple of times, and then cutting raw items on the same board afterward. Please don't get yourselves sick. That would make everyone unhappy. :(

[@NinjaNotGeisha1]

After Valentine's Day, there's Chinese New Year coming up next week. Want to try making Pineapple Tarts (the Southeast Asian variety)? They're super sweet and addictive.

[@polana89]

I'm sure it's tasty!

[@yijiaaa]

bless this

[@hannamarton1989]

Oh how I miss this kind of video today 😄

[@Khazandar]

Aye, indeed. We'll never see this format again, unfortunately.

[@heatherl.5867]

Can I use minced pork instead of beef? my brother is allergic to beef :P Also can i take the wine out of the recipe?

[@echoi90]

Jamie looks like he's lost some weight! Lookin good! :)

[@kira.b]

Do you mean he looks thinner in this or in the other usual ones? Because this one is a tbt and a few years old

[@insignis09]

These three should play innuendo bingo but with chilli sauce or wasabi instead of water ;) x

[@seanstraub103]

Amazing

[@asyrafmus]

Err.. guys.. can I substitute the red wine with something non alcoholic?.. any suggestions?

[@someone09090]

It looks delicious. What could we use instead of red wine???? I am a muslim, cant use red wine

[@Zer0Rahmin]

Could use stock it happened to me too

[@Jillyciousification]

My everyday favourite

[@sandyg4646]

would anyone recommend caramalizing the onions first before putting them in the meatball?

[@syky145]

+Sandy Gonsalves It is gonna make a small difference BUT it is gonna tune up the flavors! Give it a try and you will see. Totally would recommend.

[@sandyg4646]

Ne Ni ok sweet thanks

[@nam3400]

I do that all the time. First you caramelize the onions and then you put on groundbeef. It can really help with the texture alot.

[@nam3400]

It also prevents them from breaking so easily

[@MysticaLemon]

I thought that I could see a strange warm red filter on this video, then it all made sense with the first shot of the combined dish. Or are you guys just using new lighting?

[@adamj6645]

they guy in the back ground at 0:14 made me giggle.

[@MikeDelphi1]

Ben, if you have too much trouble with that word Worcestershire Sauce you can pronounce it like us Americans do. We pronounce Worcester Massachusets, Wooster. So it would be woostershire sauce. ;)

[@annie2931]

That's how us Brits say it

[@saifon2007]

Nice

[@ryanparker8580]

Is there an alternative to red wine ?

[@SortedFood]

Ryan Parker A little stock would work!

[@marydufresne4999]

yum!

[@sophias90]

damn guys I was totaly happy with my beetroot and walnut rice till I saw this... now I crave pasta bake ;)

[@SevenAsses]

I really shouldn't be watching this when I'm stoned.
