Today we’re joined by the chef owners of Don Angie, one of New York City’s most celebrated Italian American restaurants, to make a meatball recipe that just might change your life. Scott Tacinelli and Angie Rito share their approach to the perfect meatball, from beef and veal to soaked bread, roasted garlic, loads of cheese, and the little chef driven details that make these so special. Along the way, we talk about Italian American cooking, family recipes, Cleveland versus Jersey food roots, garlic debates, cheese on pasta, and what actually makes a great meatball. Then everything comes together with a simple tomato sauce and a final plate that fully lives up to the hype.
