Questa ricetta e tipica Del luogo. E una sua identità ben definita per gli ingredienti del luogo. Ma sicuramente saranno buoni. Esecuzione semplice Ma prodotti di ottima qualità. Brava
I was worried the Pasta Granny was in a bad mood until she finally let that contented smile out at 9.40 😍❤️ Don't worry about the butter signora! Your blecs look amazing!
@@wellaciccio2362 A cute but stupid remark. If I ate a pound of butter and I ate a pound of carrots each day, I wonder which would cause the health problems first. Either way, I'm not saying this dish isn't probably delicious.
@@j.criquette3334 what is a bit daft is the comparison you made. In any case, please do not eat a pound of carrots because the next day you will have to poop all that fiber together and I am sure it will not be pleasant
@@marymartin1106 This has really gotten out of hand. My original remark was a silly joke. My second comment was in reaction to the lack of sense of humor "wellaciccio showed in reaction to my first comment. Now, hopefully to end this thread, I will now amend my hastily thought comparison to "If I ate a tablespoon of butter and a quarter pound of carrots each day, I wonder which would cause health problems first." And to repeat, I think the dish would taste delicious and if I were a guest at their house, I would politely eat what I was served without making comment as to its nutritional hazards. Okay? Are we happy now?
I don't know how Team Pasta Grannies keeps topping themselves with better and better videos but they do! Never in my life had I thought of "smoked ricotta" ? I wouldn't make a quiche, lasagne, or a cheesecake without a some ricotta - I use it more than I use parmesan. The blecs was nice, but the first half on making smoked ricotta was outstanding. (This might tie with the seafood pasta meal from a few weeks ago?) Thank you Vicky and team for another fantastic educational culinary experience.
hi Greg, I'm glad you're enjoying the episodes which venture outside the kitchen. I cannot always do that of course, but it's great when we find the opportunity. 🙂🌺best wishes, Vicky
Oh my goodness as a cheese lover I think I've just found my nirvana.....I can't thank you enough for sharing not only these magical beautiful people & their divine recipes with us but these amazing videos are just sensational & so valuable in sharing these fine regional recipes.
Stunning countryside around the Dolomites, the scenery around the Alps is just breathtaking. Really like the cheese-makers & their bed-frame smoking rack. I remember the taste of the milk from those herb & flower meadows, so rich & beautiful. Like the idea of using the clarified butter to melt the cheese... bet you could hear your arteries creaking as you ate it. 😄 Lovely video, could almost smell the freshness of the Alpine air watching it.
It was a fabulous day; not just the scenery and sunshine but also meeting youngsters taking tradition forward. What a wizard way to recycle bedsprings! The pasta is probably best eaten having hiked up and down from the malga 😀 best wishes, Vicky
Right, what you buy in the US has nothing to do with the original product. For everything you need to go to the source/country of origin... that applies to everything.
Love this episode, and the produce looks amazing, especially the butter, it is so difficult to find artisan butter like that. Would love to see more on producers like this.
A trip to Italy, maybe? 🙂 More practically, perhaps you have a friend with a cold smoker? And I think if you have a good Italian deli they may be able to track it down for you. best wishes, Vicky
You can make it yourself! It won't be Italian alps meadow cheese, but you can get some supermarket ricotta and wrap it in muslin (I use flour sack towels) twist and hang it in your fridge for 24 hours with a bowl underneath or press it between two plates with a weight on top. Make sure you drain the whey every few hours. Then, once it is a solid ball, you can cold smoke it with a cold smoke gun (they are kind of expensive - about 100 - 150 USD). Just follow the instructions. Again, it won't be the same, but it'll be a nice approximation and it's really not that difficult, just time consuming.
Ms. Vicky, this was a very nice recipe & informative video, those clogs looked like they came from Holland, we have no cheese makers in my area, God bless you all
hi Steve, I'm guessing wooden soled shoes popped up in dairies all over Europe. Perhaps there'll be renewed interest in them now we're all trying to use less plastic! best wishes, Vicky
Fun fact: "blecs", in Friulian, means "patches". Seasoning pasta with melted butter and smoked ricotta is super traditional here and can be used on gnocchi and cjarsons (which I would love to see featured here!). I'm so glad you finally arrived in Friuli! ❤️
@@pastagrannies oh my god, you answered! ❤️❤️ Thank you! I can confirm every village has a different recipe (different herbs, some sweet, some savory)... I'm so happy you came to Friuli, Pasta Grannies is such an excellent project! The valorisation work you do is absolutely priceless.
Samuele seems to have a much stranger local accent than ‘la nonna’. And what is the derivation of ‘ont’? (Hearing people from all over Italy speak is as interesting to me as the food.)
Ont means greasy, the translation to Italian would be unto 🤗 the local language of the region is called “friulano” but where they come from there are variations and it’s called “carnico” (as the area is called Carnia). The place they come from is remote enough that people speak in the regional language most of the time so the accent is very strong when they speak Italian.
My dad got me some cheese from Holland once that was especially good. I know some Pizzerias that get the really good cheese. Quality should be mainstream instead of a rarity! I practice five styles of martial arts and I like to eat good food. You have to go to Chinatown in Los Angeles or San Francisco to get really good Chinese food. I know where to get good acupuncture. The World is backwards!
Look at all the episodes where grannies (even really old ones) are cooking high-fat dishes. And they're all healthy. Omega-6 from vegetable fat will clog your arteries faster, believe me.
Another great episode- I loved seeing the making of the ricotta to it being included in the pasta. Do you know what wood is used for the board that are used to knead and roll the dough?
hi Angelo, unfortunately I don't, but birch is a common wood for boards. Since beech and oak are also common in the area, I'd expect these to be used too. But don't use pine because it's too splintery and perfumed. best wishes, Vicky
10:21 ok I can't waste a chance to be tedious, but I just wanted to point out that ricotta is technically not cheese. Cheese (at least here in Italy) is a product of milk or cream, while ricotta is from whey. So ricotta is a dairy product but not a cheese. It's just ricotta, that's the reason it won't "melt" either. In fact Teresa says that "la ricotta si deve disfare" (ricotta has to break apart) and not "sciogliere" (melt). Ok now I've ruined everything. I can shut up. bye. Mandi.
hi Mandi, thank you for pointing that out. I know ricotta isn't a cheese but for audio purposes it starts to be annoying for listeners to hear the same word repeated a lot, 'dairy product' is clunky, so I put in 'cheese' as Chambers Thesaurus lists it as the alternative. So I'm part of the problem, apologies. 🙂 🌺 best wishes, Vicky
@@ajrwilde14 you can believe whatever you want. From the point of view of the food technology (and not less important, of the law) it's not. As I said, you mainly produce ricotta from whey, not milk, and whey proteins are chemically different from caseins and have different properties. It's almost like saying that, since you produce sausages from pork, and you can also produce e.g. gelatin from some meat industry's byproducts, then gelatin is to be considered a sausage.
Vicky, this combination of cultural preservation, yummy exploration and fine-looking men is everythig I ned to stay mentally sane. Also the dislikes might be from wanderers who couldn't cross the stream.
Please PG do.another episode just on the cheesemaker at the beginning as it was incredibly fascinating and those clogs wow!
I agree!
Yes!! Please !

Those cows are fine beauties, & pasta made with milk is a fascinating varient.
(A former dairy farmer)
this eps is fabulous. I am a big of Pasta Grannies. Hello from Indonesia!
I love seeing young people excelling in craft and authentic talented trades.
Fascinating. I bet that smoked ricotta is a taste like no other. Gentle and not overpowering.
Yes, cooks in the region use smoked ricotta instead of parmesan🙂🌺
Yes, I want to move here. What a wonderful set up they have. Talk about blessed.
Looks amazing!! I wouldn’t mind a nice big bowl full of this delicious pasta!! Yum yum 💖
Stupendo. Un posto meraviglioso!
Salivating! Grazie Tantissimo! 🇨🇦🇱🇾

One of the best ever episodes. The cheese making, micro dairy was wonderful. The pasta wasn’t my favorite. Please keep them coming.
I envy you, you are lucky to do this job! Much respect to these people!
"Blessed be the cheese makers".
(I look forward to the PG weekly video).
Does that mean all dairy manufacturers...
I can only imagine how delicious that would taste!

Now I'm crying because I don't have any clue how I can get hold of that smoked ricotta cheese. I love smoked stuff and good butter.

They're just envious
did he just pour the buttermilk down the drain?
ya he did
genuinely shocked you can make pasta with milk!
All is fine but you can't eat that too often, because of the amount of butter.
Well alpine cuisine was created for people who workef hard all day in cold climates, you needed tons of energies!
The ricotta looks wonderful, but all that butter looks extremely worrying.
