On a cold frigid Pittsburgh morning with the sound of the a.m. radio crackling, and perched on a barstool framed by a frosted glass window, eleven year old Tony received the time honored tradition of learning how to cook a proper Italian meal from his grandfather. Join us on a heartwarming journey as Tony shares his treasured family recipe for spaghetti and meatballs—a dish steeped in tradition and nostalgic memories, dragged over from old world Naples. Old battered pots, large spoons and a giant bowl of bread crumbs are set out with meticulous instructions for each use and purpose. Each ingredient selected for freshness and purpose. 

Delve into the rich flavors and heartwarming stories that make this recipe more than just food—it's a piece of family history. Listen in as Tony and Doreen explore the tales woven within this comforting classic, celebrating the heritage and warmth found in every bite.
