Spaghetti and Meatballs

My mama used bread soaked in milk and squeezed for the meatballs. She always added an extra egg to make them fluffy. Then she dropped into the sauce raw. Don’t stir for about 20 minutes. Shake pot to make sure doesn’t stick. She also added some meat in the sauce as a flavor starter. Best part about Italian cooking is each “mama” had her own way. None are wrong but that’s what we learned so it’s fair to say each family has their own technique. I love trying other methods. Lidia, yours are always the best❤️ Ciao!

I truly enjoy la nonna's memories. What a blessing it is to have you both among us!

A treat to see how Lydia makes the absolute classic.

I like frying the meatballs in the sauce pot before the sauce is put in. It makes a crunchy covering.

I learned how to make our family Gavy every Saturday watching my Mother in the kitchen, She made it on Saturday so we would eat it on a Sunday with the Family ...

I love watching Lidia and her family. The food always makes my mouth water. And grandma is so adorable. 💕

👍 on enlisting the help of kids. Lidia is not only about sharing recipes…she shares the experience! 👍

Traditional meal at grandmas house growing up every Sunday. Love this 😊

I’m so glad I found your channel! I used to watch your PBS show every Saturday growing up! I’m so happy you’re still making shows and cooking your delicious dishes.

I remember going to church, and my nonna is cooking Sunday dinner, after coming home from church, my nonna always had a meatball for me, miss you nonna♥️ 3:54

The thing about spaghetti with tomatoes is that it's great with meatballs, it's great with sausage and peppers, it's great with meat sauce, and it's great with plain old marinara. All similar dishes but still very unique and different, making spaghetti and tomatoes one of the most superbly versatile combinations in existence.

Lidia you are the best. I love getting the kids in to help and be involved. So important. Looks simple and delicious! Seeing your mom was great. Best always.

My very best cook of all time and genres.. ❤ I am always amazed at how simple she makes her dishes look! I just love her and her Grandma ❤🙏

Old classic Italian food!!
