Spaghetti with meatballs
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie
That Saturday night we went to The Oarhouse in Malate, Manila, and had balbacua for dinner, the kids had spaghetti with meatballs, chicken lollipops and fries. They enjoyed the spaghetti but had one complaint–the meatballs were too big. When I announced today that we were having spaghetti with meatballs for dinner, my 11-year-old commented, “Mommy, the meatballs… not too big, please?” I said, “Sure.” What exactly is a too-big meatball? The ones they had at The Oarhouse were about three inches in diameter. The ones I made for dinner tonight were two inches in diameter. There were no complaints; just healthy appetites.

Hi connie! your site is super useful! i suddenly became inspired to cook again. i usually plan out a two-week menu for my family, and this site is a big help to me, because unlike the cookbooks, your recipes are a sure hit!
for this recipe, i never thought that it would taste so good because i was used to using the canned diced tomatoes to make my spag sauce. as for the broth, i used plain water instead because i didn’t have beef broth when i did this…and it still tasted good! thanks so much! let us know when your cookbook is coming out. ciao!
