While we know where Taylor Swift has dined, and where she gets her sweet treats, but we don’t fully know what she cooks at home. We’ve seen pics of her homemade meals, desserts, and more. But now, after some digging, we know one of her go-tos, and it’s from Ina Garten.

In an essay for Elle called 30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30, Swift talked about all the lessons, including number 10: which is her go-to, easy meal to cook.
“I’ve always cooked a LOT, but I found three recipes I know I’ll be making at dinner parties for life,” she said, including Ina Garten’s Real Meatballs and Spaghetti.
Taylor Swift at the 67th GRAMMY Awards held at the Crypto.com Arena on February 2, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.
Now, this got us thinking: how can we make Ina Garten’s Real Meatballs and Spaghetti at home? It won’t take long!
For the meatballs, you need veal, pork, beef, and fresh white bread crumbs. However, if you wanna go full Swiftie, she said, “I just use packaged bread crumbs and only ground beef for meat.”
For the sauce, you need minced garlic, kosher salt, red wine, olive oil, and more. We know it sounds like a lot, but don’t worry!
Now, you just need to follow four steps to make it. You start by placing a lot of ingredients in a bowl, ensuring you end up with a little over a dozen meatballs to serve.
In no time, you’ll be putting the meatballs in the sauce and keeping it on a low simmer for up to 30 minutes.
This recipe was originally in BAREFOOT CONTESSA FAMILY STYLE: Easy Ideas and Recipes That Make Everyone Feel Like Family, and you can find the full recipe on Food Network’s website here. Dine like Swift this evening with a mouth-watering Italian dish!
