Queen Of Melrose – Meatballs #recipe #cooking

Twins Cosmo (Queen of Melrose) and Joe Lombino taught me how to make healthy meatballs and sauce with spaghetti squash.

I ask strangers to teach me recipes. Some people love to cook, I love to microwave…so I need help. These videos are meant to teach new recipes, get to know a variety of people, and provide a few laughs. I thought of this idea while grocery shopping 10 years ago and am finally filming episodes.

Welcome to the latest episode of Cooking with Strangers. I’m Tom. I’m here with Joe and Cosmo. And Cosmo, you’re also known as Queen of Melrose. The Queen of Melrose. Yes, you have your crown. Yes, I have my crown today. You guys are twins. We’re identical twins. And in that famous interview, you said about burning meatballs on Sundays. So, I saw that and I was like, I would love to learn how to make meatballs from you. And you guys were kind enough to invite me here. Today we’re doing turkey meatballs and we’re doing a marinara, but we’re replacing, you know, pasta with spaghetti squash. So, instead of using white flour, today we’re using smashed chicharó, which are pork rind. They’re pork rinds. Yeah. You need a makeover, dude. Ta. I look like the tiger king. You brown the oil and garlics. Sometimes I speed, you know, Evelyn Wood cooking dynamics. Yes. Here’s the heirloom tomatoes. So, we don’t have to worry about no chemicals, no yeast infections, no nothing. And I get the fresh um basil from the garden. And when some of this browns, I’m going to throw this in. Okay. I love garlic. It wards off evil spirits. Okay. And you just do more garlic than you do onion. And you should get like my butt cooking like like this with the slippers like getting all into. So once this browns, I’m going to put the heirloom tomatoes in here and I’m going to sauté them and then I’m going to cover them so they release some water and it becomes like a beautiful consistency. Yeah, it’s magic. It’s ready. I’m going to throw these in. I usually cook it like two hours. So they call it spaghetti squash because it’s like eating spaghetti. When you bake these squashes, I bake them overnight and then you cut them in half. Serving over here. Always keep sauce in the refrigerator. See how beautiful. This is plum tomatoes. And I blend them. And then when this starts cooking, I hit this with a little bit of this. What do you want, my little bougie? I love you. I love you, mama. That was Cosmo talking to one of his three dogs, not to me or the meatballs. And like I said, if you guys don’t like chunky, you guys could blend all this in a blender, but I do like a little girth. Always any red Italian wine, it’s fine. You know, some people use cooking cherry. Um, I just do a little a little veno in there. Maybe not so much cuz it might be a little bitter like me sometimes. No, you don’t seem bitter at all. The word is stuffy. So, my grandmother always put a little sugar in the sauce. I don’t have regular sugar, so I’m going to use this pure cane brown sugar. Just a little splash. Yes. It kills the the acid in the tomatoes. Okay. Would how do you say it? Acidity. Acidity. Acidity. Yes. So, when you put this No, not titty. No titty. No. No titties. Acid. Ac. No titties yet. No acidity. But I am going to go to Mexico and get a pair. I thinking about it. Yes. Are you having fun with the greenos? Yes. I can’t wait to eat. Could you lower the flame so we don’t burn that the sauce to death? Just put it on simma. Yes. Simma down now. Simma it down. So these are the meatballs. As a binding agent, we took a bag of Mission Chicherron that was about a quarter full and I just kept smashing with my fist until they were mostly dissolved. Let it out. Let it out. It’s therapy. Therapeutic. Yes. In high school, I took four years of Spanish and three semesters in college. And I pronounce it chicheron. I got turkey lean geneo ground beef, parmesan, aiago cheese, parsley, garlic powder. My mother would always chop the garlic and put it in the meatballs. But this is express, so I put garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and fresh parsley. Okay. And two eggs. Now we’re going to put the chichoni. Are you ready? I’m ready. Okay. Should I dump it? Just dump it, baby. This is my first. So, I’m a virgin like you again. Yes. But it’s going to keep the meatballs together. But if you guys need to know the exact amounts, Google somebody else. Okay. So, now moving forward. Try to avoid white flour over here. That’s why I got the chichaon cuz it’s protein. Is there anything wrong with big balls? There is nothing ever wrong with a big ball. So that’s kind of like a large egg, like a little bit larger than a large egg people should try and aim for. Yeah. I mean, if you want to be like, you know, critical and um drive me crazy. Yeah. It’s like bigger than a sea shell. And you are cracking me up. We are like the ying and yang. But I girl, this is going to be the beginning of a lever and Shirley new relationship. Wait, is mine too flat? It’s a little flat. I need a little more meat on that one. It needs filler. Have you guys ever had IKEA meatballs? They’re [ __ ] delicious. What kind of meatballs are they? Are they Italian? Swedish. Swedish. Oh, Swedish meatballs. No, but somebody said that IKEA meatballs are made out of customers who could not find the exit at IKEA. [Laughter] We’re making some freaking meatballs over here. We’re making some meatballs over here. All right, the meatballs are done. I’m going to spray these pans. Do a little nonstick. throw the meatballs in the pans. So, these I put on 350. You could even go a little higher cuz what’s going to happen is I’m going to throw them in here and they’re going to cook in the sauce a little bit too, like 40 minutes. If you want the meatballs to be more brown on top, put them under the broiler or Cosmo suggested turning the oven up to 500°. What would Chucky use if he was here? They sell this in the market. It’s spaghetti squash. See the consistency? It’s like angel hair spaghetti. I got to do a little surgery though. These are the seeds. If you want a spaghetti squash tree, you could just plant this in your yard, guys. So, what did you do before you put them into the oven? I just buy them, I rinse them off, and I throw them in the oven. So, my suggestion to you guys, cut them in half, take the seeds out, then put them in the oven. Don’t forget to cut the ends off. Just cut them right down the middle, guys. What temperature and how long? I do 350 for like what last night was like 2 hours. Today I just I just took them out of the oven. They were on 200. So now they’re warm. So some people take it out and they put it in a bowl. I use this as my bowl. And then I’m going to put the meatballs in them with the marinara sauce and do the parmesan cheese and mozzarella. And then just throw them back in the oven and bake them a little bit so the cheese melts. And that’s your healthy Italian. Is this stuff like loose or did you have to like scrape it out? But you can scrape all this up and put it in a bowl. Okay. But I’m just going to leave this as the shell. So it’s ready to put the meatballs on top, brown it a little bit, melt the cheese, and then come out and we’ll be ready to eat. Are you hungry? You’re probably starving over here. So, as we wait for the food to cook, I now have been transformed into Olivia Newton Tom, apparently. So, I’m going to ask these guys and gals some questions. So, we moved to LA. My mother burnt the meatballs. My mother was with the blow dryer and the hair and the vodka. Would you come to our restaurant? Yeah. Would you come in this outfit? I don’t know what that for for the queen. I would wear a crown. instead of them all. I feel like I’m sitting next to a different person though. Yeah, pretty much. Uh, the meatballs are done in 10 minutes. All right, we have 10 minutes. I burnt the meatballs. Stop. Yeah, you did. All right. Are you ready? Are you ready for the unveiling? Putting the raotta on here. Okay. So, you put the squash and then I bake the meatballs. Cut them in half and then I put the meatball. Then I put a little riot sauce. Kind of like a little lasagna kind of situation, the the low-fat regotta sauce. And now I’m putting the sauce we made today with the basil. And then the sauce is hot. So it’s actually melting the riotta. So it’s kind it’s kind of like a pizza. I’m going to put the little aiago. And I’m going to put the lugadel cheese on top. And here’s the lugadel. This is like crack. This will make anything taste amazing. Give me um Where’s my backup dancers? Don’t eat the show. When you get to the white part, that’s the show. Don’t eat the show. Here’s the final product. Okay, the final countdown. I wish I had a little red crushed pepper. I was for a red crush pepper right now. [Music] No red crushed pepper today. All right. I’m in the day. Finally, after I slaved in the kitchen for like 4 hours. No, no, you slaved in the closet. You were playing with the fashion. Yes, I had an outfit. Look how fabulous you look. So, we did a actually did a makeover today. Made a healthy meal. Made new friends. What’s better than this? Seriously, thank you so much for agreeing to do this. I cannot wait to finally eat this. I’m starving. Let’s eat. I’m starving. Did you want to do one a toast? Do a little toast. Yeah. Salute to chini. There we go. Salute. Let me think. Here’s to eating with strangers. Cooking with strangers and eating with them, too. Cooking and eating with strangers. Eating them. Oh my god. Salute. Here we go. Let’s I’m so hungry. Let’s do it, baby. What should my first You should get a caption. Whatever. Just take it all. So, like the the bottom spaghetti, mix it with the sauce. I’m going to do this. Go ahead, babe. Well, you can just taste the meatball first. [Music] That sauce is so good. Oh my gosh. I now I have to try Reos to see if they are anywhere near as good as you. Yeah, they’re not. They’re a little behind. The Lambinos. The Lambino’s got to be, baby. You know, we just got to make a sauce. This seriously tastes amazing. Let me eat the spaghetti here. Is this good by itself or no? Am I going to think it’s gross? No. You could put butter, butter and garlic on it, but if you like spaghetti with oil and garlic, usually could throw anything on there. Doesn’t it look like spaghetti? Yeah, it looks like angel hair, right? Okay. You know, grab a meatball. I know. I haven’t meatball. Okay. Dip it in the sauce over there. Was it burnt or no? No. Almost burnt the meatballs today. They were in the oven and I the queen forgot. But how is it? Yeah. Really delicious. Was it good? Really good. Came delicious. What other tomatoes would you suggest other than heirloom? Well, you could get plum tomatoes. They sell the plum tomatoes. You can really get any tomato like a grape tomato. It’s all how you put the flavor in, you know? So, like it’s always garlic, onion, olive oil, and then you could put even a little in the the sauce that Did you taste a little sweet? Like a little sugar? Oh, yeah. Little sweet. Yeah. But now summertime’s in season now. So, now you’re going to get the nice Roma tomatoes, the Italian Roma tomatoes. And they’re you want to get, you know, if you’re going to make a sauce out of them, get them nice and ripe, you know, nice and ripe. And this is literally better if you let it lay the next day. It’s much better, too, you know. But like I said, you could freeze it and then you’ll have food for the week. Yeah. What’s your preference? You said you put the other type of sauce into a blender to kind of blend the tomato. So, a lot of people don’t like See, it’s a little chunky. So, a lot of people don’t like that, you know. I I like it, you know. Do you mind it? Do you like it? It’s good. It’s really good. But um you just you could blend your tomatoes. So everything I did, you just throw it in the blender and then you blend it. So it’s like a puree. You have sauce on your chin. I got sauce. That’s a sign that it’s I’m enjoying it. Yes. Yes. When you wear it. This has been an amazing day. I’m so appreciative to both of you for teaching me, inviting me into your home. Seriously, thank you so much, Cosmo and Joe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We had a great time. Thank you. Thank you, Tom, for coming. Thank you, Vivie. Think I got to give you a little hug. A little Yeah. A little something something. Thank you for my makeover. Did you love the makeover? Yes. It was amazing. You transformed. All right. Thank you. I’m not sure I’m going to bring the hair home, that mullet, but other than that, I will put links to everything in the description below. Thank you. Not sure where next episode of Cook with Strangers is going to be, but hopefully it’ll be as fun and delicious as this. Goodbye.
