    So my family is from Barri. Every year for Christmas we make lasagna and guess what's inside, Tiny meatballs. Takes forever to do but it tastes so good. I found rolling them into a log then cutting pieces and then quickly forming to balls works best

    Definitely going to try it. It looks really really good. ☺️ The last time I made meatballs I swear there were half the size of a baseball. An old neighbor who was a sweet little Italian grandma always made the tiny meatballs but she made it with spaghetti in a bit of chicken broth or soup with green sweet peas. It was delicioso.

    Thanks so much for this! My toddler loves meatballs so I can't wait to give these a go! They look delicious 🙂

    That's should be some romantic dinner for your sweetie. I never thought of making small meatballs. I will try it next time with all that delicious cheese in your recipe.

    Hey paisan I don't know what kind of Italian you claim to be but there ain't no goomba that puts the sauce right on the noodles like that the noodles get coated in olive oil and parsley and then the sauce goes on top what is going on here……

    I love your commentary. Very informative. I'm going to surprise my husband with tiny meatballs this week.

    Dude your lack of fake reverence for Italian ways of doing things is pure GOLD. The truest spirit of Italian cooking is adopting to what you have. Thank you. Best food channel.

    I think it tastes very good.
    Anyway, this dish hasn't been invented in Italy 😂😂😂.
    This is an American version of classic Italian pasta dishes.

    I love your videos. I’m just a little confused with this one why you wouldn’t cook a proper sauce first with Sofrito, let it reduce and then cook the balls in it. If it’s a time constraint issue, could you have used a pre-made passata? Not sure about this watery tomato sauce. I love you, brother! Go feed yourself!

    Tiny meatballs aren’t better. It’s a matter of preference which is why most people don’t make them.

    As italian I am very proud of the way you master this italian meal. Love the way you talk about italian immigrants and their food.
    Greetings from Italy

    didn't try the exact same recipe since I dont have rigotta on hand but pretty quick and easy. portioning the smaller meatballs cooks quicker but takes a minute so just find a rhythm and play some jams.

    Nah I want big meatballs. If you want meat in every bite just do bolognese/crumbles ground style instead of wasting time making a jillion small balls

    The serious explanation is needed, it happens to all our cultures and people are way too quick to say America ruined it when it's just a different evolution of what's available… is it better or worse nah, just different and what we can do.

    Have used a 140 cavity silicone candy mold and a disposable piping bag. Spray or brush oil into the cavities and then pipe the meatball mixture into each cavity. Pop out the 140 meatballs and fine tune rolling them.
