    I love how nonnas always do a little laugh when someone asks their husbands about how they like the dish. So cute!

      Yeah I've only been learning for about a year but I understood her pretty well. Discussion of school/students/teachers definitely helps as it seems like the first thing drilled into your head when learning

      We have also seen it here on a few other occasions of some Nonna who were school teachers when they were young. You can clearly hear their profession even as the years go by in speaking perfect standard Italian, in speaking clearly and explaining things well.
      PS: I too am a retired Italian teacher and when I talk to someone and explain something, it always comes back to the teaching profession.

    My grandfather made one for me and I treasure it. The noodles are thin square sides and slightly rough which helps the sauce cling to the noodles. Grandpa added pecorino cheese to his dish while the rest of the family prefered parm. Such a trip down memory lane ! Thank you.

    This video is a fine example of why I love this channel! The history, the people who create devices to make unique pasta, and then the unique people who use them to create wonderful food. I was immediately struck by the fact that this lovely woman, Maria, began teaching school the year I was born, 1954! Her husband, and his expression of admiration as she prepared the dish, was a sweet aside and showed his love, not of just her food, but of Maria. Wonderful video!

    I heard on another Italian cooking channel “if you don’t get emotional while eating Italian cooking you didn’t do it correctly! ‘ I never really thought about that until then. How our tastebuds can bring emotions into the body! I believe it’s true and I’ve actually been more present when cooking and it transforms the simplest dishes into an art form for the senses! Thank you

    You can tell when a relationship/friendship has matured to a good place, his silence spoke volumes, Maria just knows he loves it.
    Love the chitarra, I was just congratulating myself as to how much of the conversation I'm getting without looking at the subtitles. Then I went to the website; which google doesn't seem to want to translate & realised how lost I am. Will have a closer look later.
    Brilliant video Vicky, love to learn something new. Such a simple dish but I bet it tasted wonderful.
    Thank you as always.

      hi James, I thought the addition of abundant herbs plus the green pepper set the flavours of the lamb sauce apart from what I usually expect. It was excellent! And I love filming appreciative husbands and a couple's interactions; of course there is a slight bit of 'show' to it, but it's always genuine. best wishes, Vicky

    That is what I call perfection! the chitarra never fails to fascinate me, to see Papa sitting in the corner took me back to seeing my own Nono sitting like that as the " women " got on with our pasta lunch. When I saw the conceded smile on Maria's face when her husband declared buonissimo! it made me quite emotional as to this day it so pleased her to feed her husband and make him content, how very lovely to see. Thank you Vicky, what an envious job you have!. Ramon.

    Thanks you for the fantastic video about pasta alla chitarra and Abruzzo! Maria is wonderful and a great teacher. We are Americans who live in Teramo province, and I never knew there was a difference between the Teramo and Chieti styles if chitarra. We get down there all the time to shop (the IKEA is in Chieti) so I'll definitely check out Giovanni's store. Lamb is everything in Abruzzo, and the quality is superb from the chops to the arrosticini fatto al mano (never marinated or herbed!!) Just grilled and sprinkled with salt, the chops with a squeeze of fresh lemon, the lamb is that good. When you eat lamb and have a sip of the local Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or the rosato made with it (Cerasuolo) the French wine expression of terroir is truly exemplified. The Abruzzese tomato sauce for pasta is a bit lighter and more refined than further south (just as good but different!) Frequently with carrots, celery, and onions like Maria used (the soffritto or mirepoix, probably a remnant of the French and Spanish rule of the area.) Pasta alla chitarra is chewier and more robust, so a lighter sauce pairs with it perfectly. And don't forget to drizzle with chili oil and/or the sharp aged pecorino, or top with the snipped fresh red or green chilis, a very Abruzzese thing.

    • @pastagrannies
      @pastagrannies  ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn't know the differences were regional either. I'm always learning! Thank you for your enthusiastic descriptions; Abruzzese cooking has robust charm, well suited to its amazing landscapes. best wishes, Vicky

      Teramano cooking is different from the entire rest of the province.

    • @jrthiker9908
      @jrthiker9908 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@WinstonSmithGPT Exactly, it's like it's own creature, and hard to explain to folk who have not experienced it. Chalet Numero 7 up in Valle Castellano does a fantastic all-porcini/mushroom multi course lunch in the late summer, with hardly a whiff of garlic, heavy sauce, or tomato. The brodetti in Guilianova along the coast are some of the best on the Adriatic, again no tomato. A perfectly done arrosticini fatto al mano with nothing but salt is incredibly difficult to do well. The timballo teramano is elegant and subtle. Even the quality of the wines is different with those from the Val Vibrata considered top even by the Pescara/Chieti vintners.

    I love how she drew a cross in the flour first, it reminds me of my sitto doing the same while she taught me how HER sitto did that while making a meatloaf (the name i cant remember rn). they make a cross pressed on top of it with their hads just like Maria did in the flour, and so the resemblance made me smile.

    @michaelquinn3878 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been making pasta alla chitarra with ragu di agnello for many years (and I used to live about 45 minutes from Teramo), but my ragu is a true ragu...I snip the lamb into one centimeter pieces, shop the carrots, celery and onion fine, to make something more like a standard ragu. Her sugo is more of an infusion of the lamb and vegetables, I'm sure it is good, but l prefer my style, with little meat chunks punctuating that chewy pasta. Wish I had known about this dude and his hand-made chitarre...I would have loved to have snapped one up before I left Italy last year!
    Thanks for this great video, Vicky and team!

We translate what our grannies say, but not what I say (and we spend a lot of time trying to get them right). We also translate my audio for Facebook (but the videos are square, which I don't like). So you may find it easier reading them via FB. And your English is great! best wishes, Vicky

      Other subtitles aren't so, but only because the software is flawed.
