This week, we're revisiting the fanciful mind of Seth MacFarlane (my doppelgänger before I shaved my head and grew a beard) and taking a look at Meat-Ghetti and Spag-Balls from American Dad. Is there any way to make this recipe actually work? Turns out, no - but maybe you can. Make your best version of this dish, take a picture, tag me on instagram with #babishballs and the winner of my choosing will get a cutting board, rolling pin, and pair of tiny whisks!

“Spag-balls” does not sound like it should be fit for human consumption
And yet, spag bol is a common term for spaghetti bolognese
@@ribosomes3227 not for civil English speakers, only you weird Islanders lol
@@ribosomes3227 And where exactly do you live?
Yes, it is very fit for human consumption and I’ve proved that it is. Also I’ve used the term “spag-ball” on an award winning restaurant menu which I wrote. It’s a play on words and it’s fun - don’t bully people because their background is different to yours.
love me some spag balls
I like how her idea sounded dumb, but the way she presented it made me want to try it for some reason
Then the presentation worked.
That's because you're American
I see no reason not to try it :D
It males MUCH more sense in context. Well... sort of. She sells the idea to a company that exclusively manufactures medical equipment.
Thats the premise of the whole episode.
there's something oddly satisfying about the thought of chewing on a ball of spaghetti. i want to try it now
same
Fry a ball of spaghetti ig
Like a delicious rubber band ball lol
spaghetti is actually my favorite food, so I'd have to agree!
Me too
I made home made dough and made mozzarella stuffed balls and deep fried them. Covered in butter rolled in parmesan. Then I used a meat processor and followed the same plan for the meat strings but instead of baking it I fried it in a pan covering it until it reached temperature. It maintained the strings look and tasted like an Italian meatball.
In the other immortal words of Jeff Goldblum: Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
AMAZING!!! :,D

I think Hailey was trying to imply that for the Spag-balls, the pasta mix would never reach Spaghetti noodle form, and would be left as the prepared mass of raw shapeless pasta, which is an absolutely horrendous idea in general.

I half expected Babish to make pasta dough and, instead of running it through the pasta roller, just boil the ball of dough 😂
“Spag-balls” sounds like an obscure, but severe slur.
That dude never showers. I bet he has nasty "spag-balls"!
If I were you, I wouldn't hang out with Terry. Guy is a total Spag-ball
Sounds like a severe spasm that happens to the balls.
Those nerds over there are a bunch of spag balls, don’t hang out with them.
TIMMY! Don't go near those spag-ball over there
But mom that's uncle Jim
In the clip Haley mentioned that "spaghetti starts as balls" so I think you should have made dough balls and cooked them like gnocchi, instead of starting with pre-made spaghetti
I was expecting him to do it this way, as well.
Thank you. Even the first meat spaghetti felt rushed and looked like it could've worked.
Gnocchi is made with potatoe and flower, not like Pasta.
@@thebritishviking
Yeah but he wasn’t saying that, he just thought it should have stayed in a Ball form, which is more similar to Gnocchi than Spaghetti Noodles.
100% agree
It came out pretty much perfect the first time
I forgot how cathartic and soothing your videos are. Literally anxiety reducing
I feel like "spag-balls" is the insult my childhood playground needed.
Your parents must be proud of you
Shut up spagballs
Are you perhaps familiar with James Acaster?
This is an idea for the ages. What if we put cooked meatballs inside the spaghetti balls and then, cooked them? Might have a better result on the noodles and also have a handheld meal.
But at that point it's probably just worth it to make ravioli or some other type of dumpling Instead
That's just a dumpling...
This sounds like a really bad attempt at portable pasta that you'd find in a parody movie in the early 00s.

As someone with a long Italian lineage and whose grandpa was born in Italy and who has never watched American dad in my life I am deeply disturbed and yet intrigued
That’s my first time hearing about this American dad, food joke and I cannot believe I never thought about this spaghetti in the strings that starts with a ball and meatballs, turn into string, and ends up as a ball I never thought about this!😂❤
I think the statement “it starts as a ball” meant you were supposed to make pasta from scratch, you would have ended up with meat sized pasta dough balls :(
Thatd probs make a bready thing
So like a spaghetti and meat ball
Yeah I was expecting the spagballs to be like dumplings
Oh, I just thought yanks actually bought the dried spaghetti in balls
Well, in the actual episode they're just balled up noodles, but I do think that's what they meant when they said that
I reckon that every Italian in the World is offended right now.

I can’t stop laughing at the word “spag-balls”!!! 😂😂😂
I remember in Phineas and Ferb, Linda tried to make a giant Meatball with all of the Pasta ingredients in it. Maybe that could yield better results (but maybe subtract the meatball’s gigantic size)?
It's weird to me he hasn't done something from Phineas and Ferb yet. Like, there's not really a lot of weird (physically possible?) food in that show, but there's got to be SOMETHING
Spag-ball sounds like a slur, but I can't fathom what for.
I think in one of the Sonic games Spagos is actually a slur for the people of Spagonia.
We say Spag-Bol for spaghetti bolognese in parts of the UK
Italians with big balls?
@@singles3rvingjack Stahb🤣
The Italians. They know what they did.
American Dad? Great, you're doing all of the classics.
Well, my version would be:
Spagballs: Make pasta dough, cut into spaghetti. Take each noodle of raw dough and roll up one end until it's in a ball. Then boil. These will be quite small, but I think it's suitable.
Meastketti: Slim Jims. Then cut them thinner. I suspect they may become rather noodly if you boil them.
For the meat-ghetti, I'm thinking something like ropa vieja, where you have long strands of meat, but we cut it with the grain instead of against it. As for spag-balls, a spherical gnocchi comes to mind. You get the spirit of a ball-shaped pasta and a strand-like meat, but actually edible.
That makes sense, the muscle cells are usually as long as the muscle, so with the grain would hold it's shape much better
If it was cut with the grain, wouldn't it be tough to chew, though?
@@Shadowmech88not if it is thin enough.
This is probably the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen
You sure?? Watch the Family Guy Car Panini episode LOL
there's a video by The Urban Rescue Ranch channel where Ben cooks an ostrich egg. That's the most cursed thing I've seen on RUclips.

Because the crazy lady said spaghetti starts as a ball, I was imagining the semolina dough before it hits the extruder being cooked like dumplings.
Me too! Or cooked spaghetti being ground up into a paste and made into gnocchi type bites.
Yup. I actually have a couple ideas for this I might try
I live in Wales and I went out to an Italian place a few years ago where they had basically a pasta scotch egg. It was a meatball surrounded by spaghetti that looked like a giant cotton ball. They'd put tomato suace on top and then grill some cheese on it. It tasted great, but it was just spaghetti and meatballs in a different form.
Wow. What's the the name of the place?
That’s the kind of culinary innovation you would expect from the creative hotbed known as Wales.
@@joeypethan5083 I don't know. It was a special and the place is gone due to covid.
@@JamesCarmichael sorry to hear
Years ago on Tasty, they made a giant spaghetti stuffed meatball.

And yknow what, that's ok, same
I feel like the best way to actually do this would be to make the "meatghetti" like a thin sausage and to make the "Spagballs" as just doughballs instead of trying to reform spaghetti into a ball.
Yeah, she even said "Spaghetti *starts out* as a ball, implying spagballs aren't spaghetti reformed into a ball, but just the dough pre-spaghettization
The "spagballs" could even be like matzo balls, like a big loose dumpling, instead of noodles. I dunno, just a thought.
Wouldn’t that be pasta balls
You could just press the spaghettis into something like the tea balls babish used and let them cool. They should keep the shape
That would be cold spaghetti yuck
i looked up spagballs and meatghetti and your video came up before the actual clip

I find it hilarious that instead of keeping the meat and spaghetti as strings and balls, he did the exact opposite.
Taking the spaghetti that was turned from a ball into strands back into a ball,
and taking the meat that was turned from strands into a ball and back into strands.

In England a shortening of "Spaghetti Bolognese" is actually "Spag-bol"
And like every kitchen I've worked in that served pasta lol.
Liar
I’m English and had no idea lol
The more you know
Or spag-bog
It's not just in England. It mostly depends on where you live, and if that area has a high density of chefs lol. I wonder if the slang "Spag-bol" is what gave them the idea for this particular episode.
I was imagining making something similar to gnocchi as the pasta balls, and then somehow keeping each strand of minced beef in tact and cooking individually?!
same here, thats probably as close as you could feasibly get without the meat looking like 30 day old spam that was leftout after opening.
maybe theres a way to mix pasta and minced meat to keep the meat strand in tact.

@@Potato-yd3hv that too 😉
I like this one 😂🤣
My suggestion for the meat-ghetti: braise a whole flank steak in marinara sauce, then pull it apart like you would barbecued pork. Because of the way a flank steak is structured, it should separate into long strands that resemble spaghetti noodles. As for the span-balls, I think you've got the right idea: basically deep fried mac & cheese fritters using Italian cheeses like parmesan, romano, and ricotta.
And on another note, my suggestions for a future episode:
The Five Mother Sauces from "The Hundred-Food Journey"
Venom's attempt at breakfast from "Venom: Let There Be Carnage"
get out of my head
Even more likely to yield easily separable fibers; brisket.
@@davidturner7577 If that's what you're going for, yes... personally I think the whole idea is insane. But in some respects, this is still a free country here in America as of this writing, so go for it if you want.
Yes. I thought the meatghetti needs work but the spag-balls are fine. I mean, you could just roll pasta dough into balls and it would kind of be a spag-ball, but I think you need those strings.
Meh, so so idea tbh
How about shaping homemade pasta dough directly into a ball, then using pulled brisket or something as the meatghetti?
Okay but how about ‘rogers favorite meal’

Why start at the spaghetti step for the spag-balls, and not roll it back all the way dough form?
That's definitely what she was talking about in the episode
The visual that haylee uses has the balls in noodle form already though
@@jordipernillo3026 Feels like a division in planning between the writers and the animators.
@@thegreatandterrible4508 They probably realized if they were just balls of dough, they wouldn't be spag-balls as spaghetti is a specific noodle. And it would effectively be dumplings in meat sauce.
@@jordipernillo3026 possibly used a textured mold.
The way it was described, I think the Spag-balls were meant to be the balls of dough that all pasta is made out of.
Yeah I was thinking it's more like a pasta dumpling thing using the pasta dough balls. Not that that sounds any better
From the way Hayley describes it I would agree but in the picture that she shows in the intro it looks like balls of individual spaghetti.
