doing it like this is fine if you are in a hurry but if you cook the tomato sauce on a low heat for 45 minutes to an hour it will taste so much better.Add a touch of sugar to it aswell if you are using tinned tomatoes.

[nokaffirisinnocent]

Gordon ramseys balls are more better.

[Conquergod444]

@nokaffirisinnocent "are more better" , yup sounds like a Gordon Ramsey fan :P

[mej974]

WARNING! Do not use cream crackers, they make the meatballs hard and taste horrible. For 500g of mince use 2 slices of white bread, remove the crust's and soak in milk. This makes the meatballs light, fluffy and delicious.

[bunneybeast]

@mej974 i'l give it a go.

[verebjakob]

What happened to the onion?

[ineedammo20]

He opened the spaghetti like a boss :o

[manieverster]

Jamie, I just want to know what's up with the pink jumper?!

[gayisrave]

haha Jamie likes small balls

[69sico96]

hahah, he has such a cheeky little grin when he says "how do you like your balls?"

[growingneeds]

How do you like your balls.... Ha ha ha. =)

[bunneybeast]

You all have no idea how many times I said 'thats what she said'

[HzG8rGrl]

This is our go to pasta/meatball dish! I add a bit of balsamic to the mix and I mix a 50/50 of lamb and turkey instead of beef.

[drmedwuast]

no salt on the meatballs?

[OurBestMusicChannel]

isn't the sauce going to be sour? I always cook my sauce 1 hour or more because otherwise it is so acid and sour

[LUK3SYboy]

@OurBestMusicChannel bitter is the word your looking for, and its a nice fresh contrast to the ritch meat... any way, thats my 2 cents

[kailyn2894]

@OurBestMusicChannel Hey, here's a tip for ya. Add a bit of sugar to it, maybe like... half a teaspoon to one teaspoon, it won't make it candy like sweet but it sound offset the sourness of the tomatoes. =) Hope this works for you.

[thoiwei]

I think he knows the pun, and he's laughing at it.

[teddybearkitty]

And Some BASILLL ???? 0:38

[sctigergirl81]

and then bash the hell out of it!

[VladyMcCartney]

Fantastic!! I love it, and I will try it next sunday, thanx for posting! And with the "balls talking" I was laughing too LOL :D

[DimZdalle]

make sure your balls are the same size :D

[jonreidcookingTV]

@DimZdalle ones always gotta be bigger than the other lol

[jeanjeansweden]

What happened to the ONION??!!

[Starrs69]

@jeanjeansweden on his website this is what it says:

• Add your onion to the frying pan and stir for around 7 minutes or until softened and lightly golden

• Then add your garlic and chilli.

I think he got a little over excited about his chilli and garlic. :-)

[nuclearpavlova]

I love how he is smirking when he says 'balls'

[kthananan]

[ScotchW10]

[Lenz20]

I just cooked this very fast meal today and it tasted very good. It won't change the wold, but it's better than junk food, and made in the same time! :)

kind regards from germany :)

[ashleiyy]

What if one does not eat beef? Can beef be replaced by Lamb meat or another other?

[MusicHeartification]

@ashleiyy id say you can use any meat you like. beef is just the most common one for meat balls

[Marron222]

I made that a few times and it was soooo delicious!!

[fux7d]

BALLS, BALLS, BALLS, BALLS =D

[mariuszek3]

[willyham72]

[brydon10]

@willyham72 yea you're right, not the smartest idea

[laksa72]

@willyham72 I think Gordan is better. What do u think?

[sam199166]

Jamie is the best!!

[Susset007]

does anybody know the recipe for Jamie Oliver's butternut squash soup, in his show Jamie's Twist, when it is a pre-christmas dinner and he makes this chicken cabob, the buternut squash soup and the bubble sqeak? it had prosciutto on it.

[TheHoRiZoN89]

AMAZING<3

[123fallout123]

LOL @ 3:06 Thats what Justin Bieber said!

[69adrummer]

I like my balls little.

[Idnarmadur]

He just can't get over how funny the word "balls" is >.>

[NangmanMe123]

Diis Video Is Very Helpfull Nd very Quick!

Fanks Jamie

x

[worldslept]

I am Italian and I make this myself but I thought I would check Jamie's version which is really good I have to say!

[spyknife]

I like medium size balls !

[predator3768]

tried it-liked it happy days cheers jamie nice one

[TheDave000]

He's always using non stick pans in all these videos, and he's using metal utensils. I thought that was an absolute no go?

I try to limit the teflon in my diet!

[BeroccaLover]

At the start he lists the ingredients which include an onion. Sat next to the chilli on the table.

When did he use the onion?

[blehblah22]

@BeroccaLover

From the book:

Add your onion to the frying pan and stir for around 7 minutes or until softened and light golden, then add your garlic and chilli, then the basil leaves, tomatoes and the balsamic vinegar.

[senseless143]

I love how he smiles that knowing smile everytime he talks about balls XD

[drakey27]

I never put salt in pasta.. it still tastes brill!

[devastator06]

how do you like your balls xD

[pupuxuanyss]

I choked on my Twix when i heard him going like ''ohhh nearly dropped my balls...'' LOL

[cragus2004]

How much salt do you put in with the pasta?

[drakey27]

A teaspoon of salt to a litre of water

[flashclynes]

why on earth doesn't Channel4 give me permission to embed this video? The whole idea is to spread the word,

[TheVoid]

whats this? Jamie doing pasta? ill be damned..

[supportedhousinggrad]

Recipe videos are a good idea per se but jamie oliver needs to cut his recipes to suit the budgets of the locals-tv chefs constantly flog high fat high sugar our way.

[d237447q]

"personally I like little balls!" Great sense of humour! Hands on cooking, pure class! He should make some 'How To' videos, showing knife skills and basic teachings!
