The Real Spaghetti and Meatballs

Season 9 Episode 901 | 26m 8s | CC

Italians really do eat spaghetti and meatballs! We head to Abruzzo to learn the ancient origins of this all-American dish. Plus, we share two more red sauce recipes with surprising origin stories: Charred Red-Sauce Spaghetti (Spaghetti all’Assassina) and Slow-Cooked Short Rib Ragù with Pasta.
