I'm italian, great recipe, well done! just be aware that when you say "polpette alla nonna" means that they are actually made out of your grandma's flesh hahah you should say "polpette della nonna" which means that the recipe comes from your grandma :) buon appetito!
In these regular vids he’s so chill, but when he does the struggle meals/Frankie’s world videos he just snaps in a way that makes me wonder what kind of drugs he’s on
I made these. Amazing. Never thought to add raisins and pine nuts to meatballs but it turned out great. I also used sage and a little nutmeg instead of parsley for a more earthy flavor.
I had this type of meatball in northern Italy, just south of France. They were amazing! Pine, nuts, raisins, etc...they were excellent! Thanks for the video Frankie👍👍👍 ....and yes, the meatballs were served as their own course
Tahnk you for sharing this. We wanted to learn how to make meatballs ourselves, because it's got to able to be done by normal individuals and not robots at the factories.
So I'm used to watching Struggle Meals where I just love Frankie's energy and craziness. He makes me laugh. This is the first time I've ever seen him so relaxed... Oh ma gosh I've never been so attracted to him as I am right now...
I saw this recipe on the tastemade snapchat story the other day and made it for my family and they were SO impressed. I don't usually like meatballs too much (I was mainly making them for my other family members) but I thought these were delicious! Bravo Frankie!
Um...if you wanted to lower the carb content, you would eliminate the BREAD CRUMBS. There aren't many raisins and they add a lot of moisture and sweetness to the meatballs. The best chefs balance flavors of sweet and savory. That's why we add a pinch of salt to chocolate chip cookies and many people add sugar to their tomato sauce to offset the acidity.
Came back to write the recipe down once and for all- First came across it in a Snapchat Tasty video. I’ve made these many times & many other meatballs in my decades of cooking. These are my favourite.
Frankie, My boyfriend and I made these tonight and they were amazing! We are huge fans of your channel and have seen all of your videos. Keep up the great work and don't forget the BASIL;)
Longtime family recipe in my family is what we call "pasta gravy". It's essentially this, but we also put hot and sweet Italian sausage in as well (sometimes with toothpicks in the pieces to tell them apart, though we invariably forget which is which anyway). We always have the sauce on pasta with the meat on the side. In fact, for as long as I can remember our Christmas dinner has started with my grandmother's manicotti, gravy, and gravy meat.
Made them over the weekend and wow they were perfect! Did serve them with pasta - oh well. :) Then used the last few to make meatball sandwiches. Also perfect!
I don't put raisins in polpette, but that's fine. But what I do use for the sause is: peas. I use frozen peas so I just throw them in right before the meatballs are done. That way you can eat your polpette and the remaining sauce is great on pasta or boiled rice.
hey young man. I was thinking about you with regards to the earthquake in Italy. hope your people are okay. It broke my heart to see the devastation. Aloha to you and yours.
I like the "quite storm" laid-back vibe of the "Frankie" series. I understand the appeal of "Struggle Meals". But your earlier work is still appreciated. Thanks.
Pulpetta A La Nonna...Grandmother's style meatballs? Looks SO GOOD! I've heard of using raisins in meatballs to add natural sweetness. I would serve this with a nice slice of crusty Italian bread, sliced and lightly toasted in the oven to dip in the sauce!
I was thinking that the pine nuts should have at least been lightly chopped. I happen to love raisin in savory dishes. If you don't like the texture, sure...rehydrate them in hot water, then dices them into tiny bits so they will essentially 'dissolve' into the meatball, adding only the sweetness.
I don’t live in Italy, so I figure the food police probably won’t show up at my door when I eat spaghetti and meatballs. That said, there are plenty of carbs in meatballs, so it’s not like they need more.
Frankie I love your videos and your ideas but I don't understand why you always say that are real italian recipe.. where did you get those information?

There's something so nonchalant and unpretentious about this guy I dig it.
... 2 years later. Yeah, me too!
tiredapplestar lol me too. I was just about to say the same thing.
like watching Bob Ross paint, except he cooks.
There ain't gonna be raisins in my motherfucking meatballs.
Everything else fine, I like.
Not really and its Filipinos :)
For real!
I'm italian, great recipe, well done! just be aware that when you say "polpette alla nonna" means that they are actually made out of your grandma's flesh hahah you should say "polpette della nonna" which means that the recipe comes from your grandma :) buon appetito!
but what if it was grandma flesh
I thought it was the opposite 😂 thanks for the info!
omg i was cringing so hard!!! he kept saying it over and over!!
omg i was cringing so hard!!! he kept saying it over and over!!
Yikes! Not so good that he's always talking about Italian rules and traditions and gets something like that wrong!
In these regular vids he’s so chill, but when he does the struggle meals/Frankie’s world videos he just snaps in a way that makes me wonder what kind of drugs he’s on
makes me wonder what drug he hasn't taken yet actually
I fall in love with this guy everytime I watch a new recipe...
I think I'm gonna use that in court some day! "Your honor, I was taught then when you _know_ the rules, you are allowed to break them!" :D
Interesting!
I get super stoked when Frankie pops on Tastemade! Awesome recipe Frankie!
Frankie is so fine. And his cooking looks delish.
Damn u fine
Not that you’re now allowed to break the rules just that now you know you are. That’s different.
I made these. Amazing. Never thought to add raisins and pine nuts to meatballs but it turned out great. I also used sage and a little nutmeg instead of parsley for a more earthy flavor.
Frankie is just the best
He’s just so amazing, I love Frankie so much!
Cooked them yesterday, without pine nuts, though. Delicious! And I love when Italian part of cooking comes :) Thank you, Frankie!
He has so much passion.
I had this type of meatball in northern Italy, just south of France. They were amazing! Pine, nuts, raisins, etc...they were excellent! Thanks for the video Frankie👍👍👍 ....and yes, the meatballs were served as their own course
I've said it before. I'll say it again. I fricken LOVE this guy!
thanks!
Keep doing your job. I love the idea.
Some times people don't know to do it or talent. Then have negative life .
Don't give up.
Love you Frankie!!! Pls Keep posting more great recipes!!
Love this guy. This is one of my best meals.
his passion for food makes it look fun and awesome!
I watch these before bed, helps me fall asleep
I wanna eat your meatballs Frankie
Struggle Meals is one of my new cooking show obsessions. Keep the fun informative shows coming.
Thanks Frankie! Another amazing recipe
Frankie is my favorite person on this channel
Those look fantastic. You're right coming from an Italian background , meatballs are served separately.
Tahnk you for sharing this. We wanted to learn how to make meatballs ourselves, because it's got to able to be done by normal individuals and not robots at the factories.
hooooo boy i wanna try this out. thanks for sharing i love your content
omg these actually are the best meatballs ever. i tried some in the "air fryer" and that worked well as well!
So I'm used to watching Struggle Meals where I just love Frankie's energy and craziness. He makes me laugh. This is the first time I've ever seen him so relaxed... Oh ma gosh I've never been so attracted to him as I am right now...
I love your recipe 😋
He's so calm here. It's unnerving. I am accustomed to his STRUGGLE MEALS personality.
I'm sure this guy just rocked up to the Tastemade studio and made this shit up on the spot
WHo else wants to hang out with Frankie?
I want to MARRY him!
I LOVE FRANKIE
I wish he was a Home Economics Teacher 😝😝
I saw this recipe on the tastemade snapchat story the other day and made it for my family and they were SO impressed. I don't usually like meatballs too much (I was mainly making them for my other family members) but I thought these were delicious! Bravo Frankie!
I have lots of Italian expat friends in NYC. The fun in this video really starts at 4:45. He could not be more right LOL.
Made this and it was delicious. Did it without the raisins because I'm trying to go low on carbs. Thank you for this great recipe!

this guy is so chill. i wonder what he smokes
His smoking his ego since he has slot of it lmao

i love this guy
I approve of this yummyness.
I honestly can't tell if I like this guy or not
totally agree lol
Trust me, you do
He's italian, they tend to be like that
He's kinda pretentious but he's got like a lovable nerdiness about him.
I can help you: I don't like that fake ass wannabe italian... 😉
Frankie,

Then used the last few to make meatball sandwiches. Also perfect!
This was how my grandmother made meatballs. It was the best.
Bravo Frankie 👏
Why use raisins
hate those things
Joao Paulo and raisins hate you.
To add texture, flavor and moisture. You could use golden raisins, or something similar. Or just skip them.
they arent raisins anymore, theyre inflated and cooked to add sweetness without sugar or liquid
poetry
Me too.buy I will eat it in a cinnamon bagel
That lady and the tramp reference was my favorite part ! Thanks for the great recipe :)
Having watched Frankie in Struggle Meals usually, I feel that he's struggling to holding back himself here hahaha
I don't put raisins in polpette, but that's fine. But what I do use for the sause is: peas. I use frozen peas so I just throw them in right before the meatballs are done. That way you can eat your polpette and the remaining sauce is great on pasta or boiled rice.
hey young man. I was thinking about you with regards to the earthquake in Italy. hope your people are okay.
It broke my heart to see the devastation.
Aloha to you and yours.
I live in New York - but I do have family in Abruzzo, I'm sad and thinking of all of them too
Yummy!!!
I like the "quite storm" laid-back vibe of the "Frankie" series.
I understand the appeal of "Struggle Meals". But your earlier work is still appreciated. Thanks.
Pulpetta A La Nonna...Grandmother's style meatballs? Looks SO GOOD! I've heard of using raisins in meatballs to add natural sweetness. I would serve this with a nice slice of crusty Italian bread, sliced and lightly toasted in the oven to dip in the sauce!
The way this host talks is kinda amusing. I'd like to have a beer with him some time. lol
I'm a texture freak. I'd only be able to eat this if the raisins and nuts were chopped / ground up
I was thinking the same thing.
SAME!
I was thinking that the pine nuts should have at least been lightly chopped. I happen to love raisin in savory dishes. If you don't like the texture, sure...rehydrate them in hot water, then dices them into tiny bits so they will essentially 'dissolve' into the meatball, adding only the sweetness.
So by texture freak, you mean you only like extremely homogeneous textures?
Good video! I never follow food rules! :)
what the fuck
I cook by presume. I put some of this, some of that, etc. And I PRESUME it will be good in the end.
You mean I can use veal instead of pork or instead of beef? Thanks
Beautiful egg crack!
after these does he do a couple rails and then heads to the struggle meals set?
This guy needs his own show! Only reason I watch Tastemade
Any substitutes for raisins?
no mustart, onion or ginger ginger in the meatballs?
this reminded me of carol's raisin balls(last man of earth) ! but these look yummy!
When can you cook for me
"The Italian part of cooking" - stuff flavor into that food until it can't hold no more!
Raisins? Never heard of raisins in meatballs, but I trust him, I'll do it. Lol
Where can I buy one of those God their graters
so you're telling me he's not usually crazy when he cooks? I don't believe y'all
These meatballs are wonderful! I thought I had made too many but I was wrong. They vanished.
OMG, raisins in meatballs ,I don't think so! and I don't think your grandma put raisins in her meatballs ,no way 🤔
Next video... How to re-season your cast iron after the tomatos remove your current pans seasoning! (Still loved the video!)
milked bread? why did you put bread crumbs if you put milked bread? and nuts? nuts in meatballs?
I don’t live in Italy, so I figure the food police probably won’t show up at my door when I eat spaghetti and meatballs. That said, there are plenty of carbs in meatballs, so it’s not like they need more.
When he said really big meatballs are kind of gross I agree 💯
Frankie if you want to try the best meatballs Come to Limassol Cyprus and visit Sikaminia restaurant
Raisins and pinenuts?.....I can't. NO!
The toasted pine nuts add protein and depth of flavor, the raisins add sweetness and moisture. Enjoy your dry, bland meatballs!
"the italians want no pasta with the meatballs". Adds flour, eggs, salt in the recipe.
which are ingredients in some pasta dough recipes, but not formed into pasta
Is this the Sicilian way? Whenever I see raisins I think that.
No meatballs on spaghetti? What will you tell me next, that Italian wedding soup isn't Italian? ;) (I'm actually learning a lot from your videos.)
Yes. But I'm guess you saw that vid too :)
Any gluten free peeps have substitutes for bread/crumbs that they really like?
That’s me cousin
I have such a crush on Frankie it's embarrassing
You can just pour in some breadcrumbs and then add a little milk. You’ll get the same result. 👍🏼🍝 There - I’m eating spaghetti with the meatballs. 😂
Wowowowowowowowowow
the dad stance 4:37
Gepeto 😆
With your onion put 1 grated carrot, the flavors are more intense
Wow he is hot, i really like his personality for some reason.
The raisins n pine nuts are for spittini
what is the music
He's a lot less... intense? energized? a bit more chill and less "trying to hard" this recipe.
They are made of his Nonna's flesh??!
"A la" means 'in the style of."
Frankie I love your videos and your ideas but I don't understand why you always say that are real italian recipe.. where did you get those information?
Interesting the tomato wasn't popping out the skillet
