Local Flavor THE OSIDER JULY / AUGUST 2022
HOW TO MAKE SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS With Chef Daniel Pundik of LTH
“ I picked this dish to feature in The Osider as it’s similar to a new item on the LTH menu. This is the “family style” version to make a fun night out of Spaghetti & Meatballs. At LTH, we wrap a smaller version of this in garlic butter puff pastry and serve with some of our kale pesto! This dish is nostalgic to me in so many ways and I’m sure you’ll love it.” — Chef Daniel Pundik Tomato Sauce
