  • Is that Zappa as in "Frank Zappa"?? Nice Video, Daniel in NYC

  • @palermolodi

    thanks Daniel.

    I don't believe it is the same Zappa family. :)

  • It's actually a wooden spoon.

  • I makemy meatballs from scratch! Fresh garlic and Onion and my sauce is made from fresh Garden tomatoes! I also add parsley, basil, sesoned salt and pepper. 1 Egg 3-4 cup bread crumbs and 2 cloves garlic to my meatball seasoning! I then mix meatball mixture and form them into balls and I add one tablespoon olive oil and fry meatballs until caramelized! Then I throw the meatballs into the sauce and then cook them for 12 hours in a crock pot! DEElicious!

  • Oh my gosh!  I love the crock pot. I must try this technique.

  • I make my sauce with fresh tomatoes. That makes it great!

  • I had a bumper crop of tomotoes this summer and made some sauce using fresh tomatoes. Yummy!

  • this looks terrible

  • Is this family related to Frank Zappa & Moon Zappa oh yes Dwiezle also?

  • i love italian food, and i love to cook - so this has been a wonderful 5 minutes. but, i dunno... i was expecting a guitar solo, maybe....

  • fantastico, perfetto

  • You forgot..Olive Oil! How do you flavor an acidic vegetable without fat? Believe me there is not enough drippings from the meat to truly infuse the sauce with flavor-carrying fat, always place a half inch of oil in the bottom of a warmed sauce pot.

    Also, another option is to blend the browned onions and garlic with your cans of whole tomatoes on puree setting for a few minutes. This crushes the tomato seeds as well and gives the sauce a more velvety consistency.

    Thanks for posting!
