Spaghetti with Meatballs and Tomato sauce - Marco Pierre White recipe video

[kumarpassion]

Monosodium Glutamate or Ajinomoto! I just love it.. am addicted to it. Thanks Chef Marco :)

[35mrose]

Aromat has flavour enhancers in it.. yuck!

[hopdashrun]

kids have a problem eating beef? i had no idea! I can't remember ever not wanting to eat beef. maybe its a girl thing... i can understand how it might look bloody or something.

[Galactic123]

Ignorant haters don't know Marco has always used stock cubes in his cooking even in his Michelin star days, only now he's getting paid to do so.

[serfcity1]

Some of the haters here are ridiculous with their criticisms.

Marco is catering for the home cook. This shit ain't fine dining.

The fact is Joel Robuchon, considered one the best chefs in the world, uses stock cubes for many of his recipes in his own book.

Do I think Marco was using stock cubes when he was earning Michelin stars? No.

Do I think any of the morons here could ever cook to Marco's standards in their lifetime? No

[DathanielTDK]

This is making me hate my acid reflux even more. *sigh* Tomatoes really are the heart of all good cooking. It's amazing how much you realize that when you can't have tomato things. :(

[swankrecords]

do you pound your meat? 

[Juntolo]

He's a good man, if you notice, most of the times he tells us "this is what I do cause I prefer to do so" when he uses glutamate and that kind of products.

[TytusTolshemLives]

"I've used Knorr stock cubes . . . for years."

Man, he is so full of shit! I could hear the cry of a part of his soul dying when he said this.

[Adam1804]

Here are the ingredients for Aromat:

Salt, maizeflour, monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, flavourants, partially hydrogenated vegetable fat, anticaking agent (E551), flavour enhancer (E631, E627), vegetables, spices, herbs, soya lecithin, garlic.

Sounds delicious doesn't it. I hate that such a well resopected chef is promoting this. I don't care if it's "cheating", but the stuff tastes like crap and is loaded with chemicals and processed ingredients.

[TheVillathekid]

No need to oil the pasta after it cooks. Better without it as it still wants to absorb. Sauce.

[GMScorpion]

real cooks use their hands. :)

[SNSDZero]

This guy is creepy.

[alexplayspiano1]

@SNSDZero That is a completely valueless comment. You sound like a 12 year old girl talking about her maths teacher at school. what has creepiness got to do with a cooking demonstration? I hope someone genuinely creepy enters your home, ties you up and force feeds you meatballs into both your mouth and anal orifices, before stuffing you into a large oven and baking you alive. Now fuck off and watch a Justin Bieber music video you retard.

[Antiks72]

Man, you Brits are ruthless on your own. Lighten up and let the man make some money.

[gamewildkid]

Umm....what is aromat?....

[MasTeRnoOkz]

haha, he can't be srious that he prefers aromat above salt. But then again he's promoting it so ye

[wwwww5times]

what is knorr without Marco

[newventuresband]

cooking with bare hands...the meatballs must be tasty. nomnom

[antuerius]

Does Knorr use MSG (Monosodium Glutamate); or, similars by any of its other industrial names, in their products?

[uberathlete]

@antuerius yep, which is why it increases savoriness or umami. MSG though isn't necessarily bad as it is naturally occurring in meat, seaweed, fish sauce, and most of the stuff we eat.

[JonnyYang123]

why buy them when you can make them...too true marco too true

[lithuaniandude222]

I love that he uses small knifes to chop things :) not usual

[UReadThisName]

and do your hare ! it makes you look mad

[UReadThisName]

your food might taste good but dude come on were is the excitement?! cooking is about art and taste. your kind of a dead fish

[10cookman]

Ramsay is the best.... what a crap chef....

[sankan2]

@10cookman Ramsay became a chef by working for Marco Pierre White at his restaurants. White is the master and Ramsay his disciple.

[10cookman]

@sankan2 yes i know I work with him....

[sankan2]

@10cookman Ah, yes. And whereabouts in Portugal is that? You seem to misunderstand the concept of these videos: They're not about creating Michelin star dishes but rather simple home cooking for ordinary folks.

[10cookman]

@sankan2 obviously that is not in Portugal .... is just a stage .... Three months to December ... in Portugal to work in Panorama riveres curious to see .... just decided to take a training \ extra stage to the curriculum ....

[julul]

I like how he doesn't keep saying "beautiful" and "absolutely delicious" every five minutes, as if he has to reassure himself that what he cooked was good.

[hearts76100]

That looks bloody marvellous!

I would have put on some parmesan though with a bit of black pepper.

Superb

[LondonPride25]

Followed this recipe to a T and made it for my girlfriend last night, with a nice bottle of Burgundy. It was delicious and she practically attacked me afterwards. Highly recommended.

[mymentor]

@LondonPride25

Great advice. I'll invite your girlfriend over tonight and follow one of Marco's recipes to the letter...

[LondonPride25]

@mymentor Lol. Good luck with that mate.

[paulturner1990]

he makes my mouth water

[ctyuang]

Damn, it looks great.

[kebabrullemums]

its all for money............

[alienboyguitar]

This is CHEATING! Even an amateur can matched an Iron Chef as long as Knorr cubes is permitted :D

[munha666]

@alienboyguitar knorr cubes taste like shit

[alienboyguitar]

@munha666 hahaha! of course... it has great volume of MSG(Monosodium glutamate) besides the herbs & spices which makes all the food mixed with it taste good. You would be dumb to eat it alone... besides it can cause: headache, flushing, facial pressure, numbness, heart palpitations, nausea, etc... And if greater volume taken, can cause Baldness :D

[WhiteTeaRoses315]

I made these meatballs today, not the spaghetti sauce, just the meatballs. Then once they were cooked I put them in some barbeque sauce to let them finish cooking and served them in a warm submarine sandwich roll and had meatball sandwiches. Normally I would cook meatballs in a tomato sauce for a regular meatball sandwich, but today I felt like barbeque sauce instead. The meatballs were delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe. One day I plan on making the tomato sauce also.

[MrMGD92]

all of you saying he went from "3 star chef" to a sellout-he diden,t theres a big big difference between a pro kitchen and home kitchen.hes still able to cook dishes and run a resturant service to a 3 star standerd.hes a brilliant chef.if he was to do a meal from his work for the home that would be way to long.hes still cooking but hes just talking some shortcuts and at the end of the day its all about taste.(and i trust his tastebuds)

[jamieandrews1994]

makes me laugh how many people hate on him, he's an ex three michelin star chef, who retired ten years ago and is now making a bit of money on a side, i really doubt Marco gives a shit about what these trolls, (who probably can't even make beans on fucking toast) think.

[therealKINDLE]

"It's not the most difficult dish in the world.. I'm Half italian.. " Yeh.. & Half Dick Head.

[usvislandboy]

Wonder how much he drinks to forget how much he makes being a total sell out. He went from chef to infomercial biatch. Saddening.

[MrDarkTides]

@usvislandboy His choice, he stopped pro cooking years ago, he didn't have to. Oh and for the record he has used stock cubes for YEARS. IF you don't like these recipes why watch them? No one here is interested if your flawed opinions. Marco is world famous and you are not. Upload your own ideas.

Haters gonna hate. Enjoy

[fasulia67]

Can I use OXO cubes?

yeh i said it!!!!!!!!

[Johnnyjueves]

What's the point of adding a stock pot to the boiling water? What a waste. He should have added it to the sauce if anything.

[sebyjoseph01]

OK im sick and tired of saying things like "marco is a cheat because he uses the stock pot". Any one who's worked in a kitchen knows that making a white stock or a brown stock takes time, money and carefull attention. NOW to the avereage home cook, that can become a major chore. Using stock pot cant come anywere close to a perfectly made brown stock ( simmering for 6-8 hours depending on the stock being made).....the knoor stock pots isnt perfect but its ideal for ahome cook.

[EvelcyclopS]

i prefer campbells

[ppshchik]

Don't like it, no chopped onions make the meatballs very dry (tried it before when I forgot to buy onions). Flour + deepfrying is also redundant. Just bake it in the oven until it's cooked in the outside so it won't break up when you move it to the sauce to cook the rest.

[MegaMat84]

@ppshchik

baking in the oven makes meatballs dry, try Marco's way...

[SethHesio]

I have that same Le Creuset Pot (the big orange one)... it's great to cook with. Everyone should get one.

[supercooled]

This guy has as much personality as a wet cloth. He may be a world famous chef but he is no showman.

[MrDarkTides]

@supercooled Because he isn't a showman you fool. He's a master-chef.

[killkong]

wth is up with him and stock cubes...

[simpleearthling]

fuck knorr ,,oxo all the way ,,,oxo roxo

[quangofexeter10]

dear Marco, you did a hell of a job increasing Knor's sale. I never thought i would use their product before seeing you making those dishes.

[nowadazeband]

@quangofexeter10 Although you dont need Knorr products at all to make Spaghetti of meatballs. - probably tastes better without the stock cube.

[gordon16663]

aromat is a mixture of salt, dried herbs and garlic powder

[InnuendoXP]

I like these knorr recipes of Marco. Where the knorr is not an integral part of the dish and can easily be replaced by something else :P

Just take his little knorr pitch out, replace it with parmesan, salt or whatever's appropriate (though stock pots are still good)... the recipes are champion

[CyclopsPL]

@InnuendoXP Indeed, his steak au poivre with actual pepper instead of knorr cubes really makes sense xD

[InnuendoXP]

@CyclopsPL prettymuch, loll

[DLRS1]

I love you Marco, but seriously, AROMAT???????????? What about the parmesan?

[MrsFooFoo]

@DLRS1 Was wondering what Aromat is.... What is it???

[DLRS1]

@MrsFooFoo Oh my, I had a very much beloved cat called Foo, marvellous little guy. Anyway, Aromat is a kind of spice mixture combined with MSG and trans fats, tastes OK, but kind of artificial, not a good replacement for parmesan cheese. Oh yeah, it's another Knorr product, popular in Germany, the Netherlands, etc.

[MrsFooFoo]

@DLRS1 Ahh, OK thanks! Must admit, it sounds like some kind of poison!!! lol 'AROMAT'. Should have guessed it was a Knorr product too!!! I must say, though that I do like the stock pots.....and Marco ;-)
