Meatballs are universal! Do you have a cool meatball recipe from your culture? Let us know!
Love your videos
Glad to see Eric Foreman is fine.
Please is there a way to make good meatballs without bread? Those look so amazing 🥲
The only American guy who rolls spaghetti or fettuccine on the fork in the correct, Italian way. Congrats to Eva for her hard work, and to Harper for his good will! 😉😘
The way you talk with that accent it is AWESOME! I could listen to you talk all day! I just enjoy that accent so much 😍😍😍😍
My mother made her meatballs exactly like Eva, but more pecorino than parmigiano (and always cooked her meatballs in the sauce – her family was from Treviso). My father loved them but his mother fried hers (his family was abruzzese). I love your recipes!
Looks super delicious !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 formaggio is the umami of Italian cuisine.
My mom used to put breadcrumb around the flat meat ball and then fry them. So good
We subscribe on u tube.
Do u ever use Pizzelle Maker ? & would like u to do a vidio on the recipe & u clever take😊
OMG 😲 I thought this guy was just a doofiss lil guy😂 cause she's beautiful… I guess because I saw him in another video for the first time😆 I apologize, he's quite handsome 😁 I happen find your video and kept watching! Love your videos 🥰
To improve the crust on fried meatballs you can roll them in breadcrumbs before frying them.
My friends mom used to put pine nuts in her meatballs. Have you ever heard of that? I mean, they were Amazing 😮❤
I put aged asiago, maple syrup, hoisin sauce, chipotle peppers, mayonnaise in meatball. , Oh that's bait for hunting boar or bear, lol.. I like pecorino in mine, use yesterday's bread find in dumpster for breading, has to be fresh parsley I find on busboys plates, garlic and eggs I find in the farmers market compost bin, do think ground beef and ground veal best for meatball, sometimes steal from the church on Thursdays, then on Fridays I get the tomatoes from same church, and farmers market from others carts. Works out, if hit every church in community for free food, sometimes get packaged Alfredo, or jars of sauce. Got whole Italian meal. If see an old lady with loaf bread.
I really think… adding some spoonfuls of Genovese/Walnut-ricotta pesto to the in bianco metaballs, would be a really good recipe. I have to try that.
Do you have a cute twin brother😍?
Three easy steps to great Italian meatballs.
Step 1. Find yourself a cool Italian girlfriend who loves to cook.
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit!
Is she truly from Italy? I was born and raised in an Italian family, and I know of not one family member that uses an accent that sounds as though they came from Russia. Is this a put on fake accent or what?
Meatballs, as we know them , are American. PERIOD !
Thank you very very beautiful
Our meat sauce is called "Gravy". Our regular sauce is just sauce. We use regular sauce, (started with only olive oil, garlic, and onion), when we are going to serve some kind of fish, like spaghetti and shrimp, or Spaghetti and calamari, of spaghetti and Tuna. Yes Tuna!! When I cook my "gravy", I put the meatballs, sausage, and a cheap piece of steak like round steak right in the pot. I know when the gravy is done and ready to serve when the steak is almost completely disintegrated. I also use the same two meats but in different ratios. Also my pork is ground Italian sausage. You can't use 1/2 & 1/2 because the meatballs will come out having a heavy sausage flavor and overwhelm the beef flavor. I think my grandparents came from a different part of Calabria. Although our recipes are pretty similar, there are some unique subtle differences is ratios and processes. We call them family secrets. LOL I always enjoy your videos. You inspire my weekly shopping list.
Clicked for that hair, stayed for the meatballs.
Come on, you don´t eat meatballs and pasta that way?? The meatballs to big, how are you gone get everything on the plate in one bite?? Impossible.
Youra Italian accenta hasa bea comea morea pronounceda since I firsta saw youra channela. Just saying. But…I love it and the food you guys make!
Eva reminds me so much of my Sicilian grandmother. She and her siblings immigrated to escape the world wars. Miss her so much.
My little sister is her namesake. We carry her family recipes and hope the next generation continues them.
