SURPRISE DINNER VIRAL MINI MEATBALL PASTA

Transcript

Tonight I'm gonna surprise my fiancé with dinner using a recipe that he sent me on TikTok a few days ago. He just fixed my water pump last night, so I feel like it's the least that I could do. I'm attempting to make some mini meatballs right now. I really don't wanna use my hands, but I think I need to. Oh my gosh, so cute and tiny. I have someone begging here. All of my mini meatballs are done. This took forever. I'm gonna add a little bit of oil. Here goes nothing. I didn't lose any balls. They all have a spot in there. So cute. They look good. I wish you could smell them through the screen. They smell so good. She's gonna be so excited. Now some chicken stock. Noodles. Using cavatappi, the best. I really hope this works. Okay, my pasta is pasta-ing now. Let's go. I didn't screw anything up yet. Now some marinara sauce. Gonna season it. Can't forget the cheese. And we're gonna let... I'll taste that one. Mmm hmm. You hear that? My mouth is watering. I cannot wait to make a bowl. He's about to be home. Sprinkle a little bit of cheese on it. I think he's gonna be so excited. This looks really good.
