Spaghetti & Meatballs - Tuesday, Feb 3rd - 7pm

I'm hosting a class as part of the LTH Taste Test Series for the Peterson Garden Project next Tuesday (2/3/15). We are going to be making an American classic: Spaghetti and Meatballs. It's hands on, BYO, and at the end we will all sit down and share the meal we've prepared.

So many of us grew up eating this dish and everyone I talk to about it has their own recipes with quirks and variations. Should make for some interesting conversation! When my mother taught me to make this dish, we followed the 1965 edition of the The New Antoinette Pope School Cookbook to the letter. I still can't get over that we used celery, butter, nutmeg and button mushrooms in the tomato sauce. And of course we used Prince spaghetti and lots of "cheese" from the Big Green Can. Still in my memory, it was the best--spaghetti night was a big deal. I still have the same feeling about spaghetti & meatballs, though my recipe is very different, it still has the same magical effect.

This class will be perfect for beginners, but hopefully some more accomplished cooks will join and bring strong opinions and memories along with their strong skills. As I've gotten older, I am drawn back to the Midwestern classics when I cook at home and am always curious about how others approach the these basic ingredients and simple recipes.
