Nice meatball recipe on video, with the exception of the testing of the meat at the 2 minute mark (ugghhh).

And every meatball needs this-
Traditional Homemade Tomato Sauce made by Pasquale Sciarappa
The only chef I ever saw incorporate a two-wheeler into making red sauce. The chef was not respectful to his wife- which is a definite NOGO.
Nice to see a Cadillac (and a Supra) in the background.

Chef Pasquale was a student of Ettore Boiardi.
1928 saw the introduction of his brand "Chef Boy ar dee" in Milton, PA.
However, that is contested.
The Canadians take credit!

The OG Chef Pasquale was in fact Canadian:

Pasquale would often repeat certain quotes while he cooked, such as:
- If you sing to the food, then it will come out good.
- The pasta should not wait for the sauce, the sauce can wait for the pasta.
- Watch out for your eye lashes when you flambee.
- When a little girl would flip the frittata successfully, she is ready to be courted to get married.
- Do not use milk in the sauce instead of 35% cream, otherwise we make ricotta.
- The best cooking is what the mama cooks
- If the pasta stays for a long time in the boiling water, it will become polenta
- Excuse my back (he always says it when turning around to drain the pasta).
- You want some more? (usually when he is adding cheese to the pasta or rice dish, then adds some more, then either pours the entire container of cheese, or puts it aside saying you can add to your dish).
- May everyone in the world, specially the little ones [i.e. children], have a meal like this
- Mamma mia! We should say Papà mio sometimes.
- I believe cooking is art, fantasy and vocation.
- You can repeat a recipe, but I cannot repeat a recipe.
- There are three things in the world you cannot repeat exactly the same: sing a song, sign your name, and a recipe.

Chef sauce is a base sauce that can be used in any dish. Depending on the dish, one can add supplemental ingredients into the sauce- but one always has a awesome base to work with always at hand. Kind of like how oil is blended... how weird a comparison,,,
Nope, it's a base and Italian food is just that, not complicated and unpretentious using the best quality ingredients without hiding behind a multitude of spices and herbs.
