My Italian MIL from Bari cooks in the tiniest kitchen I’ve ever seen. You can just turn around in it and that’s it (it also contains an indoor fire pit to grill meats!). She makes huge 12 person meals on it many times per year, it’s crazy
It's actually common language to green and communicate with eachother by saying lovely words. I hope this will stay, at least in the original places, where this is just normal. Love
Grazie di ❤️ a nome di tutta la Calabria. Ogni anno la Regione spende milioni di euro per sponsorizzare la nostra terra, con risultati scadenti e poi ci siete voi che vi meritereste tanto di più per lo straordinario lavoro che fate con il vostro progetto e non prendere un solo euro. Tramandare le tradizioni a mio avviso, non ha prezzo! Grazie PASTA GRANNIES❤️
I loved this one so much! felt as if I were there. The gardens, cared for with love for years, the tiny cutting board and granny's knife and her joy to share her home and family. There's a great deal of reward when life is lived this way. Wonderful!
Wonderful, watching her knead that dough I bet she has a grip like an Aberdonian holding onto money! I love watching the economy of movement these nonnas have when they prepare food. Also they don't need fancy equipment like we do, give them a nonna knife, a reed basket & an earthenware pot and they'll outcook most "high class" chefs. That looked such a wonderful dish, feel slightly jealous that I didn't get to taste it. Thank you as always for the wonderful videos.
Yes, it's a frugal, simple life which is coupled with great generosity and hospitality. I would like to go back and spend more time with Bettina - she had lots of great stories! 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
😠🙄Only a modern clueless western man utters such ignorance. These people live in tradition of cultivating their lands, eat everything including animal and the fat and aren't obsessed in veganism.
My grandma had a basket just like that and my dad said that her fingers flew when she made pasta. I wish I had one because nobody knows what happened to hers. All of my grandparents were from Calabria and they lived on beans and greens.
Thank you so much for these videos. I didn’t get to meet my nonna, so this fills that void. Also, great to keeping these recipes going for generations 💕
What a beautiful Nona awww i miss my Nona when I watch this lovely God bless you 🙏 ❤️ fantastic home cook !! I'm going yo make this pasta recipe thank you 😊 from Australia 🇦🇺
Ms. Vicky, this recipe looks delicious, & is a little labor intensive. We do have an Appalchian recipe that is is similar as our pasta looks similar like a cross between rotini & gnocchi, we use fresh great northern beans( soaked overnight in water) which are similar to canneloni beans and we use our fresh garden grown canned tomatoes. I'm not sure if they taste like homemade passata as I've never eaten that. We do grow & can roma's, plum, beefsteak( really big), cherry, & grape tomatoes, but is very good & we eat cornbread & a chunk of raw onion on the side. We use roma/plum tomatoes for this recipe. The greens we use are turnip or mustard or collards or spinach or kale or a combo of some depending on our quantity. God bless you all
hi Steve, your recipe sounds delicious and very similar; it's using your local ingredients which I think is more important than trying to replicate exactly something which can never be exactly the same. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
I so love this channel the pasta grannies are very hard working lovely lady's and there is nothing like fresh homemade pasta not like all the supermarket bagged stuff 👌 xx
This is so real to me even though I have never been to Calabria. My grand parents on my mother's side came from Calabria. Bettina's face is familiar to me ie I can see my cousins in her face. Bettina's beans and pasta is very familiar to me, as my grand mother on my mother's side taught me 2 of her basic beans and pasta recipes in the mid 1990s. 25 plus years later 60% of my cooking is legumes and pasta using what ever vegetables and pasta I have on hand.
@@dukenegju unfortunately, recent food tendencies favor refined carbohydrates (too many "pasta", "pizza" and snacks), not whole grains and vegetables and especially too much meat and bad oils. Real Mediterranean diet have meat only once a week, unrefined flours, extra-virgin olive oil and LOT of vegetables.
I miss my Nonna, she passed when I was a mid-teen yet I'm so grateful I was able to spend time with her while she taught me to cook our Tuscan dishes, and we were frugal. Peace and Love to all ❤️
I love those earthenware pots. So rustic. I have some bean pots I got from auctions but I’ve never actually used them for baked beans. The instant pot is just more efficient. The dough trough is cool too.
hi Marilyn, terracotta is great for slow cooking and makes sense if there's always a fire on the go. I'm a fan of the pressure cooker too. best wishes, Vicky
you can tell she was a beautiful woman when younger. matter of fact maybe you should show the pasta grannies when they were young! AMAZING... even how they still knead, carry the pots etc.
My Italian husband’s grandmother told stories about her husband courting her back in the early 40’s and his big concern was if she knew how to make the pasta 😂 These women are the real deal ❤️
What a joy to watch! Ever since i stumbled upon this channel, ive never missed a single video! Thankyou to the team involved in this channel! Such a joy
I love the documenting of domestic history. I would love to be able to be there with you whilst you film and talk to these wonderful women. Thank you for doing this.❤️❤️🍝🥗
By, you've got a grand job - tootling about in the nether regions of Italy, chatting up sparkling grannies and getting fed magnificently for your trouble. Now, if you need an assistant.... I'm your man 😁
I bet the reed mats used for making kimbap and sushi rolls could be a substitute for the traditional basket used in the video. I have to admit that those creamy beans looks awfully appetizing.
I just made this and it is excellent. I skipped making my own pasta today so used a dried pasta and only added a small amount to eat today. But worth making!
Love this one with all the veggies.... could eat it without the pasta! Was it cold in the house? Everyone kept their jackets on around the table it seems....😀
Buona, buona....nel armadio mi ho trovato ancora ich cannellini ( ma gia cucinato) e nel frigo ancora und po di verde vecchio.....🤔😁 Cosi, grazie a Lei, stasera, so bene cosa a preparare 😋😏 Grazie per l'idea e bacci e auguri della Germania ! 👍👋
Today I am going to try this recipe more or less. Beans are soaked, going to put them in the instant pot with a bit of thyme and bay leaf. As for the cabbage I will have to deal with what I got, sadly no savoy and most delicious Catalonga, wish I had some but I don‘t, just a few blanched and chopped dandelion leaves will have to add the little bitterness. I will try to use a bamboo mat to shape the pasta or the back of a fork. Will see.

All of Calabria should be protected by UNESCO
Huge respect for someone that is able to prepare a delicious meal using the smallest cutting board I’ve ever seen used in food prep.
Hahaha i have a similar one from ikea & it’s the only one i love to use to chop vegetables

Imagine calling somebody's name and they answer with: Bello! I love these Italian grandmas! Thank you for sharing them 🤗
Not sure if you've seen him, but the cameraman is indeed gorgeous haha.

Oh I love her! "Tell me gorgeous". What a fun gal!
Some person : Should I do it ?
Bettina : No.
Quote of the series for me.
This has swiftly become one of my favourite channels.
I am pleased to hear that, Cat. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
This woman is an artist.
Calabria, land of wonderful soups.
More than that
Bettina is one of our favorite grannies yet!!
My grandma had a basket just like that and my dad said that her fingers flew when she made pasta. I wish I had one because nobody knows what happened to hers. All of my grandparents were from Calabria and they lived on beans and greens.
Such a sweet nonna and so generous. 🥰 The meal is a masterpiece !!
You make me want to move to Italy! Beautiful, bless the hands of the cook for it is from them the future of mankind depends 💚👍👏👏🇮🇪
Love Bettina
Fabuloso Betina!
Excellent! She's a character! Cabbage is so fresh it snaps when it's cut. This looks delicious. Thanks
Luv Luv Luv I feel all warm and fuzzy just wish I was sitting at their family table enjoying this bean and veggie pasta!
This video is helping me through Melbourne's 4th lockdown
I am sorry to hear of your lockdown; I fear there will be more for all of us. best wishes, Vicky
Me too
What a timeless process, her tools and techniques could be at home in any decade or century.
Tasting the beans for the first time, that wonderful Italian gesture. 😍
Bettina is such a sweetheart! Loved this video.
Thank you so much for these videos. I didn’t get to meet my nonna, so this fills that void. Also, great to keeping these recipes going for generations 💕

Thank you

That looked like spring stew to be cooked outside. Such a humble dish, cooked by a lovely lady.
LOVE! I'm vegetarian and this plant based pasta grannies recipe makes me so happy. I can't wait to make it :)

Visit the world then go to calabria last. The best for last
Looks great!
Betina is one lovable cutie patutie ☺️ and her dish looks delicious!! I’m writing the recipe down, thank you sweet lady.
Wooow looks deliscious.
Bela Bettina!!! Uma mestra das massas.
Pasta Grannies are incredible! Thanks.
Another excellent dish ! I reckon that's also very healthy.
Complimenti! Ottimo piatto con verdure e fagioli! Good! 😎😋
the true Mediterranean diet, before it was distorted.
It is the recipe for a long life!
Distorted - how? Love

Bettina Can Do This Blind-Folded! 💚
Elisabetta your dish looks delicious and filling. I love your head scarf.
Amazing cook and knife skills! ❤️👏👏👏👏🙏
Why does this pop up when I'm hungry? Good timing.
“Stranguggi” is such a fun word to say!! 😆
This looked like so much fun! And delicious!
I miss my Nonna, she passed when I was a mid-teen yet I'm so grateful I was able to spend time with her while she taught me to cook our Tuscan dishes, and we were frugal.
Peace and Love to all ❤️
God bless u grannie.
This one looks very special indeed. Wow, good job.
I love this woman she's a Treasure - she reminds me of my own Calabrese Nonna who passed away.
Interesting technique of starting the vegetables in a cold pot with cold oil...no spice from Calabrian peppers either! Charming as always Vicky!
I love her!🎉🎉
That looks fabulous!
I love those earthenware pots. So rustic. I have some bean pots I got from auctions but I’ve never actually used them for baked beans. The instant pot is just more efficient. The dough trough is cool too.

BELLA PASTA NONNA 🥰😍😌😇🙂🥰😘🙃☺️😘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💋💋💋💋👄👄👄👄
By the way the dish is amazing!!!
I wasn't even hungry till I seen this. Looks great! I'd sneak in some cheese tho..rebel.
That look mad good tbh
Eating pasta right now!
My Italian husband’s grandmother told stories about her husband courting her back in the early 40’s and his big concern was if she knew how to make the pasta 😂
These women are the real deal ❤️
Nice recipe 👍🏻
When it takes four hours to make lunch, no wonder everyone takes a nap afterwards!
Masterpiece

Now, if you need an assistant.... I'm your man 😁
hi John, I think there's a queue 😀😀 best wishes, Vicky
I absolutely love this series. The best recipes!
Looks really healthy!
Oh, that's my kind of meal! Looks absolutely delicious. What a fun lady, cooking on the hearth too!
Sinto até o cheirinho aqui do Brasil! Saúde!!!
I bet the reed mats used for making kimbap and sushi rolls could be a substitute for the traditional basket used in the video. I have to admit that those creamy beans looks awfully appetizing.
Lovely lady, it's looks so yummy.
To be fair, the cameraman is gorgeous.
I just made this and it is excellent. I skipped making my own pasta today so used a dried pasta and only added a small amount to eat today. But worth making!
hi Mia, this is definitely one of those recipes where there is no problem with using dried pasta 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Love this one with all the veggies.... could eat it without the pasta! Was it cold in the house? Everyone kept their jackets on around the table it seems....😀
hi Annamaria, I am not sure what happened about our coats 🤔I think it was more about being a bit late and it had started raining. 😊 best wishes, Vicky
Ma che tenera!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Where can I adopt an italian grandma? Really need one in my life
if I am not wrong is what you mentioned bitter chicory is actually a domesticated variant of dandelion.
Chicory is sold as a salad green. It is related to dandelion, perhaps. A bitter green that causes gas, like cabbage, sad to say.
That looks soooo good! Hearty vegetarian fare!
Buona, buona....nel armadio mi ho trovato ancora ich cannellini ( ma gia cucinato) e nel frigo ancora und po di verde vecchio.....🤔😁 Cosi, grazie a Lei, stasera, so bene cosa a preparare 😋😏 Grazie per l'idea e bacci e auguri della Germania ! 👍👋
Making it today!
Gorgeous!
And after the hours' long effort, they eat the food in like ten minutes.
There is always more pasta to dry for later. All worth the effort and time!
Ever made a turkey dinner with all the trimmings?
ah but they enjoy the experience from start to end. and the family around the table and the love. it's not like eat and run. not in Italy.
good :-)
