  • Tajarin is the Piemontese name for tagliolini and Giovanna makes fast work of making them. The tricky bit is finding a truffle to serve with the pasta and for that you will need a dog like Fido. But tajarin are equally delicious if, for example, you fry some garlic and rosemary in olive oil and use the flavoured oil to dress the pasta.
    For Giovanna's pasta (you won't need a 10egg pasta unless you are having a party)
    150g wholemeal flour
    150g durum wheat (semola) flour
    3 eggs
    To dress the pasta:
    5 sage leaves, 50g unsalted butter and shavings of fresh white truffle.
    Serve with a Nebbiolo wine.
    You can go hunting truffles with Fido and Marco www.truffletour.it

    I was born and raised in Australia to Southern Italian parents, and we often only ever hear stories of northern and southern Italians disliking each other. This, for me, was a feel-good story in more ways than one. Firstly I love that Giovanna still speaks some Calabrese and hasn't lost her accent, secondly, I love that you have shown a positive unification of both northern and southern Italians. Lastly, I love that the sauce is simple but luxurious and refined, with a few key ingredients. Thank you.

    Oh what a heavenly dish! So simple & elegant.
    In the past when I've been lucky enough to find or buy a truffle I've kept it in a box with my eggs until I'm ready to use it. It imparts that wonderful truffle scent/taste through the shells in only a day or two. Eaten on their own the eggs taste wonderful for things like omelettes, souffle or shirred eggs, but you can also do things like using the truffle imbued eggs in your pasta dough. Then the pasta has a truffle taste of its own.
    I'll bet that was a lunch to remember though!? Good food, wine & company are always best when mixed together.

    • @pastagrannies
      @pastagrannies  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes you're right: keeping a truffle amongst the eggs is probably the best thing to do with a truffle! best wishes, Vicky

    I highly recommend to everyone to go on a truffle hunt in Le Langhe. A walk with a dog in one of the most beautiful places on earth. On my last trip there were 2 dogs, one 'in training'. When the dog found a black truffle he was rewarded with a dog biscuit. When he found a white truffle...he got a piece of Parmigiano.

    Beauty and simplicity. I noticed that wine is served in moderate amounts with a meal, not bucket sized glasses as in the States. I am an American teetotaler, but when I lived in Siena, Italy I had a small glass of wine with dinner. It complements the food so perfectly.

    This wonderful video felt like we were there at lunch with you, if only! such lovely people and how easy Giovanna made it look. I just love the simplicity of Italian cooking more love than ingredients. Last weeks video prompted me to make cavatelli for dinner and not some fresh truffle would be nice, but we can dream. Did I hear the word Barolo concerning the wine, how wonderful, you must have really enjoyed that lovely lunch Vicky, Ramon.

    Hi 👋 Vicky! Lucky 🍀 you!
    One of the best dishes you can eat in the entire world 🌎.
    I have it sometimes when I spend some time in Piedmont (my mum is from there). I notice that the old lady uses the whole eggs, but I know the old traditional recipe requires “just” 32 or 33 egg yolks per each kilogram of flour. If you add a generous amount of butter, a cardiologist would not agree, but … What a queen/king lunch.

    • @pastagrannies
      @pastagrannies  ปีที่แล้ว

      hi Andrea, yes it was a very special lunch. The 'large number of egg yolks' version of tajarin I have always thought to be a restaurant tradition, but now that you mention it maybe the egg whites were used in wine clarification, and adding the yolks to pasta was a way of using them up? best wishes, Vicky
