Everybody loves meatballs! I think meatballs are a perfect example of Americana, and they belong on the American table. This is a classic recipe and very simple to prepare. It calls for three types of meat, but a combination of any two—or even a single meat—will work as well. The recipe makes four dozen meatballs, but you can cut it in half, and it will work just as well. The sauce and meatballs freeze well, but are best frozen in smaller quantities so that they reconstitute quickly. And we get to enjoy Aperitivo Time with Grandma! Tutti a Tavola a Mangiare!

Thank you so much for this recipe. You taught me to make meatballs years ago. Mine were terrible and I tried so many recipes. One day I caught an episode of your show and it was the meatball episode. I still make them this way and my kids still love them. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite 😊 I have seen some chefs add a pinch of sugar to their sauce. To counteract the acid from the tomatoes 🍅. Do you recommend Lydia? Thank you 😊
This sounds so good right now!
I love this dish! And I love Lidia and Grandma. RIP dear Grandma. Beautiful life, beautiful family. karla in Cali.

I have seen you milk soak day old bread as filler not breadcrumbs. Which do you prefer?
Lusciously delicious spaghetti and meatballs. Thank you, Lydia. 💖💖💖
Why add the flour to the Meatballs , I never have done that before,
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ?????
I've been watching you cook for 25 years and have many of your cook books. I just want to say "Thank you " for all the joy and great recipes you have given me and my wife. Thank you and don't ever stop doing what you love. ❤
Why do you flour the meatballs?
I have celiac and would never flour meatballs or any meat. What is the purpose of doing this? Is it for a crust? I think a little cornstarch would do the same.
I have been craving spaghetti and meatballs lately 😋
Ohhhh I need this now! ❤❤❤Spaghetti is my comfort food of choice!
Delicious 🤤
Your mom is lovely, it was nice listening to how things were for her in her younger years. Things are very much different today than back then.
Everybody Loves Her !!! 😊
