- 96 year old Anna still enjoys making pasta for her family, who live in London. Anna was born, grew up and got married in Italy before coming to the UK, bringing her cooking traditions with her. Enjoy her recipe for tortelli d'erbette, ravioli special to Parma.
For the pasta: 500g 00 flour, 5 eggs and a pinch of salt.
For the filling: 250g cooked chopped spinach or chard, 250g ricotta cheese
1 egg, about 100g Parmigiano cheese
1 teaspoon salt, 1 pinch of nutmeg and, Anna's addition, a pinch of cinnamon.
For the sauce: one red onion, diced, 100g dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed, then soaked. Keep the soaking liquid. 200g chopped chestnut mushrooms. 2 generous tablespoons tomato concentrate, water, a little milk (thicken it with some corn starch for a more sturdy sauce), salt and plenty of black pepper.
PS, Anna appears in the line of the lyrics of a Dire Straits song - she's the waitress in Wild West End, Rachele and viewers told me!
What a wonderful sight to see great grandmother’s hands along side her great grand-daughter . This is how stories continue! Lovely!
Buonissimo!
Codie you took the words right out of my mouth. This is priceless. ❤
Very much needed connection, knowing that the old school Italians have a deep yearning for home.
It is heart warming to see generations of families cooking together.
Such a blessing having your great grandmother with you making pasta
What an incredible gift to this family to document four generations of women working together.
What an incredible showcase of a generation family making pasta together and passing on the knowledge. It cannot get better than this:)
It's so amazing to hear Anna talk about her grandmother. Her nonna must have been born in the 1850s!
.... under power of Granduke of Parma ( Italy not yet unified!) ... as Stendhal explains in the "Charterhouse of Parma" ! great book😊
4 generations together!! So wonderful. And, Vicky, your voice is so beautiful and soothing!
thank you Didi, 🤗 🌺🌺 best wishes, Vicky
The way she talks about loss and hardship with the sweetest smile on her face
These ladies always are so lovely. There is just something so precious of them that i can't explain but it's a feeling like i want to be a part of their family so i can learn how to cook the food and how it tastes. I don't know why but their smiles can make anyone happy.
Kind've an emotional moment watching the Great Grandmother work next to her Great Grand Daughter.
Very beautiful. Thank you for showing this moment.
I hope to live a long life with my health like the ladies you feature on your channel. So inspiring to be nearly 100 years old and still so healthy and active !
I would much rather go and eat at one of these wonderful grannies than at a fancy restaurant, simple but wonderful and delicious dish.."viva le nonne!" (Long live the grannies)
The Pasta Grannies team agrees with you! 😀🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Certainly not the first time the great granddaughter has got involved in ravioli making, and certainly won't be the last. A natural, learning from the best 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Anna is so spry for 96! How wonderful! And her ravioli and sauce look scrumptious!! TFS, Sharon🤗
This lovely family comes from near Borgo Val di Taro, which is about one hour's drive west of my father's area. All are in the Italian Apennines, and this dish is also something we make, although we usually use Swiss Chard or bietola, which I prefer to Spinach. Cooking with dried porcini mushrooms is heavenly. The taste is to die for. You can also see the typical use of some milk in the sauce, the lack of garlic, the sparing use of tomato product, and how the pasta is "dressed" with the sauce, not swimming in a vat of it, all very Northern Italian style. That sauce is also delicious on layered polenta, or gnocchi, or you could do a meatless lasagna with it and alternating besciamella. I would also love to see her make gnocchi.
How interesting and thank you for suggesting all the different ways to serve the sauce - it's delicious. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Wow Anna is so strong at 96. Awsome!
That little girl reminds me of how engaged I use to be when cooking with my late mother. She instilled a love of food and cooking in me that impacted me so much I became a chef and now have a restaurant. Love to see this. Gonna definitely try out this recipe. ❤❤❤❤
Seeing four generations making the same dish that the eldest generation grew up making is so awesome to watch! And a cute puppy appearance as well? This couldn’t have been a better video! 😍😍
hi Jen, we often joke in the team and that we need a Pasta Grannies dog to boost further our viewing figures! 😀 best wishes, Vicky
God Bless the entire family.❤️
I'm tearing up at the intergenerational love in this episode. Beautiful.
Makes me so miss the days of cooking with my Italian Noni, wish she were still here so my daughter could share these moments, thank you for bringing Anna to us!
Videos like these make me miss my grandmothers dearly. Realizing how much they loved us and cared for us... Wish i could hug them tightly one more time, kiss their hard working hands and thank them for everything! 😥❤🥺
It's incredible how they can eyeball their recipes and it always turns out perfect.
One of the greatest generation. And that sweet little girl helping Bisnonna! That dish is absolutely tantalizing.
Wonderful recipe made by the hands of a beloved granny, but what's more wonderful is that there's always room for grandparents in an Italian home! 🏡 ❤️
Oh, what a wonderful family tradition! Blessings
Lovely interaction between the ladies. The finished dish looks scrumptious 😋
Those ravioli look delicious.....my favorite pasta!
These videos are an excellent memory's legacy and, without a doubt, World Heritage
Can't wait to make these!!! I love to see the little ones learning- so important to teach them when they're young so they can carry on the tradition & recipes
Anna is why the cooking traditions live on. Without her teaching the younger generations these fabulous recipes, dishes like this would be lost. Great video.
Beautiful Family!!! Grazi Mille Anna for opening up your kitchen, sharing this mouth watering pasta recipe with the world and introducing us to your wonderful family (& kitchen assistants) . Your great grand daughter did a wonderful job helping you too. 🍝🇮🇹💚♥🤍
What a gift to be able to make pasta alongside one's great-grandmother! I love your multigenerational episodes because we can see the traditions and knowledge being passed on and preserved.
So incredible to have 4 generations of women sharing this knowledge.
I need a nonna to adopt me and feed me this good food 🙂
What a beautiful woman! Such a wonderful cook. This recipe looks just marvelous. I believe she IS a chef. Love to see the generations learning the way to make traditional food.
Lovely, Meela will speak of her great grandmother one day and about how they worked together to pass on this tradition. 💕 Thank you Vicky. Waiting patiently for your new book I pre-ordered in May. 🥖🍝🍷
I like how around 9:15 the table is set with all the drinks that are custom, water and wine! Salute!
Yay... Another pasta grannies, I live for these videos!
I have had a miserable week and don't feel well. But as soon as this came on I started to smile - and I didn't even need a glass of wine :). And this is a dish I can do - buon appetito :)
I hope this week is better for you. 🌺🌺 best wishes, Vicky
I love this channel so much. The recipes and the women who make them are a joy to watch. This inspires me to try my hand at these dishes, although I have to figure out how to do it just for 2 people! Such a delight to watch. Thank you for showcasing Anna and for showing us the good life after 90!
Anna you are a genius, those ravioli look amazing and thank goodness you are teaching the young ones, we must never let our wonderful Italian cuisine die. Now what bus is it to Barnet! Thank you Anna & famiglia and thank you team PG. Ramon.
hi Ramon, I guess it depends on which direction you are coming from 😀 there's a big Italian community in Barnet. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies Hee, hee I would travel from any direction for a plate of that wonderful ravioli!😉 That is interesting regarding the Italian community in Barnett, My Italian family were from the surrey area and the local graveyards especially Chertsey are full of Italian named headstones but I think they have mostly moved on now, although my cousin still lives there. Definitely enjoyed watching as always. Ramon.
how sweet she is :) reminds of my grand ma god bless her
So much to see and learn from these Grannies! Really grateful. Regards Stephen.
Watching four generations make pasta together is so precious. What wonderful memories that little girl will have.
What a true delight to see all the generations of ladies doing this together. God bless them all!
Loved seeing the whole family cooking together. Love the mushroom sauce. Looks so delicious
Another beautiful Pasta Grannie to admire and to see her skills from long ago. And most of all to see 4 generations working together to see once again,a lovely pasta dish made with love.💕💕 Thank you,it was a fantastic video.xo💕💕
What a lovely vignette of generations happily working together.From the experienced Anna down to the little great granddaughter, head on arms taking it all in.
Cracking dish too. Not been many good Penny buns [Boletus edulis] yet this year so far. But I love it when there's enough to slice & dry to see me through the year. But I've had a few for the pot. So like Anna's choice of ragu for that ravioli filling. Feeling ravenous from watching.
So happy to see the traditions being carried on in her adopted country & passing them on to her family to enrich all our lives.
hi James, the roadside vans and pick-ups selling fresh porcini are starting to appear here in Italy. I bought some down in Abruzzo last week but they did not like a hot day in a car, unfortunately! best wishes, Vicky
Che carina ☺️
It was so lovely to watch 4 generations cooking and having fun in the kitchen. It looked like a little pasta shop run by 4 fun-to-be-with personalities! Loved the recipe. 😍
Per fortuna grazie a youtube e altri canali queste ricette rimarranno per molto tempo,ho l'impressione che anche in italia si stia perdendo la tradizione.
This is so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your lovely Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and her history, as well as her pasta making skills. ❤️ ~ JoAnn
Hello 👋how are you doing?
How wonderful for the child to have those special memories with bise nona, listening to the Italian! That was sure my idea of a good vegetarian dish.
What a beautiful dish and even more beautiful family.
Es ist immer wieder ein Vergnügen diese Damen und ihre Familien zu sehen.
Die Lebensfreude ist eine Inspiration für mich.
Bitte machen Sie weiter mit den Berichten und geben Sie den Damen die Wertschätzung, die Sie sich verdient haben. 🤗🇮🇹🇩🇪
It's always a delight to see traditions like these being passed on.
Was gibt es genialeres, als wenn die Urenkel von der Uroma lernen können und das Wissen weiter gegeben wird!
Einfach nur fantastisch!!!
Danke!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
That random "y'know" is so precious :D
as a child i never met my great grandmothers, some were in different countries and some had already passed. so beautiful to see anna still so bright and healthy cooking with her great grand daughter ❤
WOW she looks and acts at least 15 years younger!
Pasta is a family affair 😎used to do The same with my granny - born 1922.
Hello 👋how’re you doing?
I am a huge fan of your channel. Thanks a lot for all you do. It's realy fascinating, it's a true magic. This way all these recipes keep going. One interesting thing I've noticed which is in common in Italy and Ukraine (my native country, the country I live in now) - both Italian and Ukrainian grannies had to cope with really hard times and a terrible poverty, and managed to create really exquisite recipes that worth restaurants. They had no practice with big chefs, no education, just a few ingredients and the necessity to feed a hungry family. It admires me a lot. Very strong and beautiful women, different contries, very much alike destinies
yes, it would be great if someone did a Ukrainian 'Pasta Grannies' 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Love all those ladies cooking!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Bellisemo brava😃😍🤩
Great to see that 4 generations in the kitchen passing down generations of cooking with heart & love 😍
i enjoyed the video very much. To make pasta at home, to take the time and make the dough (with children) it's one of the important things you can do in your life.
That little girl has the nicest eyebrows, Nona is such an amazing soul ❤
Best episode.....four generations together creating a fabulous food
i don't even know these grannies personally but they're so precious to me, i wish them long happy lives
Hi Vicky. Fantastic episode! Can't believe this lady used to work at the Barocco Bar. It's mentioned in a Dire Straits song, Wild West End, from their first, eponymous album: "... A waitress she watches me / crossing from the Barocco Bar / I'm gettin' a pickup / for my steel guitar"... You won't believe me if I told you that we mentioned that album just today. What an incredible coincidence.
hi Laura, what a coincidence! Rachele, Anna's granddaughter, tells me Anna was the waitress! 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Wonderful, just wonderful.
The little girl is so lucky!
Love these "Grannies"...wonderful women. How about asking them some advise about life, family & hardships. Would be fascinating to learn from these strong wonderful healthy women.
Unfortunately for us they’re all widows 😀
The meal looks delicious
Pasta Grannies............... THE BEST !
Ciao Anna sono stata felicissima di vederti. Sono commossa. Bella e brava come sempre. Auguri a te e la tua bellissima famiglia. Ciao. Ti abbraccio caramente.
What a lady wow!!!!!! She is so beautiful and so healthy and very passionate
Respect!!!!!!!!!
Please ask Anna to return to show us her gnocchi recipe 😊
4 Generations !!! Beautiful !
Town's name is Albareto, not Bareto. She is a " Higlander " parmesan, in fact dresses the tortelli with mushroom sauce, where a " Lowlander " parmesan would dress them with butter and more cheese. The spice in the stuff is nutmeg usually, not cinnamom. I might try her twist.
Hello Eliogabalo, thank you for the correction and the insight to the differences in dishing up tortelli between mountain and plain living folks 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
My two favorite countries joined togheter. Brava Anna e tutto la bella famiglia. da Fabbro Belga Filip Ponseele
meraviglioso vedere le nostre Valtaresi ancora tramandate all'estero. Well done!
Questi tortelli alle erbette hanno un aspetto delizioso! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Complimenti alla nonna ❤️
Che bella colloborazione,4 generazioe per un piatto gustoso.❤
beautiful dish..
Hello 👋how’re you doing?
Wow, they are lovely ❤
love this kitchen
That looks awesome. Might buy myself a pasta machine me thinks..:)
What a beautiful episode. Amazing family and the pasta 👌👌
Generations coming together like this is lovely to see. A family dynamic i have never experience myself and sadly never will. They owned Barocco Bar ? Dire Straights mentioned that place in their song Wild West End.
Rachele tells me Anna was the waitress mentioned in the line. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Fabulous
Wonderful recipe….fold mine over the same way….looks like they came out perfect!!❤
Good news Vicky...I went to Bologna and am now the proud owner of a mattarello. What a vibrant city. I might go back next week. Bad news...my book seems to be lost. I will sort it when I get back home. ...after I have found a place for my rolling pin on a wall! See, I do listen😃
hi Janet, enjoy your mattarello! And I hope your book is replaced without hassle and you find inspiration from it. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Beautiful!!
i can almost smell that... so delicious
Wonderful! Brava!
I simply love your videos. They’re great. I would have one pledge, please: Would you tell a sentence or perhaps two more of the region the pasta grannies come from or their history. Thanks a lot!
That's a good suggestion, thank you. I will see what can be done. best wishes, Vicky
Very nice💗
I'll bet it tastes good!
Meravigliosi come sempre👏👏👏👏👏
