When our daughter was little, she pronounced spaghetti “sGhapetti”. It is our family tradition to call it sGahpetti. How did/do your little ones pronounce spaghetti?
(Our daughter’s baby/toddler dictionary: Meatbulbs = Meatballs, Yew Nork = New York, Pawl Nailish = Nail Polish,
Someping = Something, Everysing = Everything, Ahh Juu Jee = Barney’s the Purple Dinosaur)
Meatbulbs (make about 20)
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds of ground beef
1 small onion (finely chopped)
2 cloves of garlic (finely minced)
2 slices of white bread
¼ cup of milk
1/2 cup of garlic toast crumbs
2 eggs
1 tbsp of olive oil
2 tsp of salt
2 tsp of ground black pepper
1 tsp of dried oregano
1 tsp of dried basil
1 tsp of fennel seeds
A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
How to:
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit, line a sheet pan with foil and brush with olive oil
1. Soak white bread in milk, set aside
2. In a medium size bowl, add ground beef, milk-soaked white bread, and the rest of the ingredients until well combined
3. Form the ground beef mixture into meatbalbs
4. Bake meatbulbs in the oven for about 20 minutes
5. While meatbulbs are in the oven, start making the tomato sauce
Tomato Sauce
1 32oz can of whole tomatoes (chop them with scissors while in the can)
1 32oz can of tomato sauce
1 medium onion (diced)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp of sugar
1 tbsp of salt
1 tsp of dried oregano
1 tsp of dried basil
1 tsp of Herbs de Provence
How to:
1. In a large saucepan, add olive oil, onions, and garlic then sauté until they become soft and translucent.
2. Add tomato sauce and tomatoes.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients (adjust the salt and sugar according to your like), we like it this way.
4. Let it simmered for about 10 minutes, and stir occasionally.
5. Now add the cooked meatbulbs to the sauce and simmer for another 5-8 minutes
6. Serve with cooked spaghetti, duh!! We like thin spaghetti, because it takes up sauce better than the regular kind
7. EAT and do the sGhapetti DANCE
