You'll never guess the surprise ingredients in my BEST Spaghetti & Meatballs 💯 | Marion's Kitchen

[@beasttitanofficial3768]

The smell of garlic cooking in olive oil should be a perfume tbh xD

[@shahneelmuslim]

No one would like that as a perfume lol

[@stz1144]

I love the smell of shrimp cooking with garlic 😍😍😍

[@haleyw0203]

It would make me hungry 24/7

[@kallebuchholz2156]

Just move to Italy and date some natives. If your more about the garlic then the olive oil, hunan China also works. (My wife is from hunan and when she ask me, to cut a little bit garlic she means 6-10 gloves.

[@debgiustiniani708]

I am an Italian who would never mess with my sauce but I saw this while I was making sauce I tried a little miso in a little sauce and couldn’t believe what it added so I added it to the pot we will see if my husband notices. I have made many of your recipes luv luv luv

[@tanviohol6807]

How was it?

[@karinadiazdeleon3604]

Did he notice?!

[@sarahfuller5482]

I live how much Marion loves her own cooking! Her reactions always make me wanna make it.

[@Chickadee_]

Marion, my love, you are responsible for my grocery receipt being the length of my arm at times. 🥰

[@Marionskitchen]

LOL. Sorry!

[@teamnettno4697]

Haha she is not really sorry. Btw love all your recipes Marion

She has the most appealing Aussie accent I ever heard

[@frazermowat8069]

I made this last night for me & my Fiancéé. We're both big fans of yours Marion. We made it together. We did exactly how Marion explained it all. This is our favourite Spaghetti & Meatballs Recipe. We'll do this one all the time. Thank You Marion for another Superb Recipe. 10 out of 10 Always for your Recipes. Me & my Lady will be visiting Thailand very soon once the Pandemic is over. Keep up the good work Marion. We're loving it.😊😘

[@ceejay1796]

Can't wait to try the spaghetti

[@luvlymimee]

I'm an Asien who can never cook a good Italian food until I tried this recipe and it found out soooooo good. All my guests are really like it and beg me to cook this again❤ unbelievable 😆. Thanks Marion that make me like super chef😘

[@fredaasare1785]

When Marion decides to make you hungry at 11:19pm😩 it looks oo so 😋

[@senjatarot]

I trust you with my life when it comes to food Marion!! All your recipes which i have tried, are top notch. You really know your craft and it’s beautiful to witness 😊💜 Could you do more vegetarian/vegan recipes involving tofu too?

[@Featherwingsful]

My boyfriend isn't a big fan if spaghetti with meatballs but we've made your recipe yesterday night and he loved it! 😄☺️ The meatballs were so juicy and fluffy, it was delicious! His problem always was that they're usually way too dry but your fusion pasta never disappointed us even once 😍🙏🏻

[@lindalnd90]

I made this today, it was absolutely delicious. The sauce and meatballs is going to be a staple recipe for my family, everyone loved it. I did make a few happy accidents that I'll be repeating so I get the exact same results each time. Since all measurements aren't metric I did have to guess on a few. I used one can of 28oz San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes (I want more sauce next time so I will be using 2 cans and doubling the ingredients). I accidentally put 3 tbs of milk in the parmesan cheese for the meatballs when I should have put it in the panko breadcrumbs. I kept the cheese in the milk and also put the 3 tbs in my breadcrumbs too and kept it moving, turned out great anyway. Lastly, I didn't know the conversion for the ricotta so I ended up putting 3 nice-sized tbs of regular store bought ricotta and just eye-balled it to be sure it wasn't too much for the meat. I also used 2 lbs of grass-fed 90% lean beef (it's the best quality I could find at my grocer). My oven is low power so I ended up doubling the cooktime to 40min at 355 F for the meatballs until the juices ran clear and the balls were mostly cooked. GAME CHANGER: I took my mostly cooked balls out of the oven and BROWNED them in a sauce pan to get a nice color and bring out the flavors even more. I took those browned balls, the juices created, and added those to the sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes partially covered and my my my soooo freaking delicious. Not drastic changes, but these small tweaks/accidents led to THEE most amazing sauce, meatballs and overall dish. I'm making it again this week, thank you so much Marion! I came across your channel literally 2 days ago and I'm soooo glad I did.

[@JustCeleta]

Is it just me but as soon as I see a video from Marion everything else has to wait?!? Love all your videos, Marion!

[@design-flux]

Hey Marion, huge fan! Thai is my favorite cuisine but I love your fusion dishes! I grew up in an Italian-American family and your base (pre Asian spices) is spot on. One thing I adapted from Indian cooking is frying tomato paste as the first step. I heat the olive oil to a non-smoking, but hot temp and fry the tomato paste (while constantly moving in the oil) until it’s a dark brick red color. It adds an additional level of umami and color! Once it’s reached the dark brick red I add the garlic and the the whole tomatos etc per your method. I even sometimes throw a little fish sauce into my red sauce. Give the frying the tomato paste a try sometime, would love to know what you think! Can’t wait to try a hybrid of mine and finishing it off with your complete recipe! Thanks for this!

[@vietle9916]

This is so good! It has so much Umani! Love the soy and miso sauce. I didn’t have fennel seeds so I used Italian seasoning herbs for the meatballs and it tastes as good. It’s now my go to spaghetti and meatballs recipe. Thank you Marion!

[@Cdunnintx]

This sauce was amazing. Just made it. We do low carb, so no panko bread crumbs used but it still turned out terrific. Soooooo good.

[@annamariamarchese5185]

I made your sauce today (I made meatballs yesterday, so I will try your meatball recipe next time). The sauce.... OMG - I didn't think I could improve on MY sauce but yes, must say, your sauce Marion....made in heaven!!! The anise, the chilli and bay leaf definitely gave it a unique flavour which we all loved. Love your presentation too....especially your accent...down to earth Ozzie....

[@draconity]

I am so relieved the secret ingredient wasn’t ginger. My friend’s mom puts ginger in her spaghetti. For anyone reading, please don’t do it.

[@kallebuchholz2156]

draconity Sounds good actually. There can’t be to much ginger.

[@LA-iu8rv]

Ground ginger in spaghetti sauce is good, it put a little kik, but not to much and NEVER put fresh ginger please...

[@yuzuki2385]

Wtf that shit taste bad if you put it fresh don't it

[@yuzuki2385]

Ground beef(drain the fats first), hotdog, garlic ,minced onion, green pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, grinded cheese, sugar and salt, the type of tomato you wanna use is on you, I usually end up using the Filipino version anyway. I promise you this ingredient is delicious.

[@obyvanessa]

Ginger in pasta is THA BEST!

[@arnoldsaidwhat]

The tomato past should go in before the whole tomatoes! And let it fry a pit in the oil, i brings out a different more tasteful taste to it, and takes away a bitterness that’s in it!

[@helin4397]

I wonder why she does it with her curry paste and not tomato🤔

[@obyvanessa]

I agree

[@aslexie189]

Exactly!!!

[@Tahkoyakii]

Just tried making this today!! It tasted soo good!! I never made a pasta sauce that was this flavorful - especially since it didn’t even get a chance yet to develop more flavor overnight!! I bet it will taste even better tomorrow!

[@maxdogahumkara]

Really into this dish! Marion knows her stuff. The added "strange" anise and miso not typically Italian add so much. Almost done making it. Whole kitchen smells like heaven. The meatballs browned so nice in the oven. The sauce is simmering slow and juicily. Putting it all together soon. Can't wait to taste the final product. Inviting friends to come over. Updates coming soon!!!! Would be nice to add photos here. Is there a way to do that, Marion?

I'm not really into Asiany food but I've tried some of your recipes because you make it sound so delicious when you cook it. And they are delish! I've also used your Coconut Sriracha sauce in any way I could.

Marion these are by far the best and most tastiest meatballs I've ever had. Oh yum!! Thank you

[@cassandrajean-louis8415]

Wishing you get a cable television show!! Because your recipes are super awesome!🏆

[@adrirod6331]

Best spaghetti and meatballs recipe in youtube so far

[@deadordiana]

I have figured it out, miso is always the secret ingredient! Got myself a big tub yesterday to make Marion’s miso carbonara so can’t wait to use it for this recipe too

[@MaZEEZaM]

Miso Carbonara, will have to check that out, sometimes I go to the effort of making carbonara only to be disappointed with its averageness, Miso could be the remedy but would want to get the proportions right so as to avoid it being a dominant flavour.

[@cherriechin7632]

I love dat you incorporated Asian ingredients & herbs into your cooking 😍😍 Making full use of them add ‘magic’ touch to your recipe. I tried it today it was amazing! Thank you for sharing tis recipe ❤❤

[@Pika10111]

LMAO my mom's secret ingredient to everything is fish sauce. Anyone else??

[@Marionskitchen]

😂Mine too!

[@VolosynT]

@@Marionskitchen i really expected your "secret" ingredient to be fish sauce! LOL i was surprised! Can't wait to try your version of sauce!

it's essential for anything with tomatoes!

Just made this tonight and everything was great flavors and textures, served with garlic toast and a salad. The only thing I didn’t prefer was lemon zest in the meatballs. I believe this is personal preference for many people though. Amazing recipes Marion! We appreciate you sharing all that you do.

[@melissabaker8912]

I tried the miso in my tomato sauce and it made such a difference! Thanks for that tip. I also grate onion into my panko (instead of using milk) and I find it gives the meatballs a bit more flavour and still moistens the panko.

[@josephchamberlain3681]

Tomatoes contain alcohol soluble flavonoids. The addition of even a small amount of alcohol will bring more flavors out in your sauce than you can get any other way.

[@sarahshay4212]

Joseph Chamberlain at what point would you add alcohol?

[@lucassmith4847]

Will you cook out the alcohol? Red wine?

[@josephchamberlain3681]

@@lucassmith4847 definitely, you put it in before the sauce sits to simmer for those 45 minutes. The alcohol does its job and then evaporates off leaving just what you want.

[@ributsuria]

@@josephchamberlain3681 I beg to differ... flavonoids ARE ANTIOXIDANTS that contribute the color/anthocyanin and mouthfeel fuzziness/ tannins common in all phenolic content of all plants... NOT ALCOHOL in wines etc. You do not need to add or waste red wine to amp the taste in Umami-rich tomatoes. Even if you do add it, the taste is already entirely different and outshined by the tomatoes and the alcohol would be mostly cook out in the final dish without any discerning difference...adding a little splash of balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar is enough. SO save the wine for other better occasions such as a glass of wine accompaniment with ur meal is enough... Unless you are cooking coq au vin :)

Oh I am excited to try . My only change would be add tomato paste to oil to cook up the paste. I think it so much better.

[@mariareadsssf]

I will definitely use that tomato sauce recipe. Thank you

[@OmfgOakt]

I think when when mixing breadcrumb and milk, IMO it makes a nicer meatball if you start w/a certain amt of milk, and sprinkle panko into the bowl of milk just until the point where there’s no more runny milk. If you add milk to a bunch of breadcrumb, panko is so dry that it really won’t absorb the milk evenly. That may not matter in the end product, but I find that if you start with too much Panko and try to mix the milk into it, it doesn’t mix well, and then when you make the meatballs they taste like Panko. Not a bad thing, but that’s not really what we’re going for here - The breadcrumbs are there mostly so that the meatballs don’t collapse during cooking. Also - abt the ricotta - if your ricotta is runny, why not just put a cheese cloth onto a strainer, and then put the ricotta in it, and let it drain some of the whey. And then you can wring any additional liquid out of the cheesecloth.

[@lipong8976]
