A couple of months ago, we shared an easy Italian meatball recipe, one that Jaf helped cook up himself. Jaf loves spaghetti and meatballs, and it’s his go-to meal for lunch, dinner, and probably even breakfast if he had his way!
In my last post I talk about culinary world-schooling, what it is, and how we incorporate travel and the culinary arts into the kids’ world-schooling curriculum. It teaches LouLou and Jaf a lot of things: history of the foods they enjoy eating, culture of the places the foods originate from, and most importantly, cooking, one of life’s great skills.
Here is Jaf’s very simple easy Italian meatball recipe followed by his vlog documenting the process of making the meatballs, frying them, and finally eating them!
Jaf’s Easy Italian Meatball Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (organic if possible)
- 2 eggs
- 2 pcs day old white bread, broken into little pieces
- 2 tablespoons Garlic Salt
- 1 Bottle Ragu Spaghetti Sauce
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil (for frying
- Preheat frying pan to medium, add olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg and bread using your hands. Using your hands, form the meat into golf ball sized meatballs. Place about 1 inch apart into frying pan. Press down to flatten the bottom just slightly.
- Fry for 5 minutes, turning them over frequently or until somewhat crispy on the outside.
- Serve with pasta and sauce or however you’d like.

If you weren’t aware, this year, part of LouLou and Jaf’s world-schooling curriculum is learning how to film, edit and upload videos to YouTube. They’ve been working very hard at it, and would love if you all subscribe to their channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/pintsizegourmets, as well as share their videos!
