Italian cuisine is one of the greatest legacies and heritages of our planet, it is about the art of creating a masterpiece from almost nothing, it is about refining and perfecting simple products, about love for nature, tradition and excellent and refined taste. Even the poorest grandmother in the most remote village in Italy (just an example) can make you a meal that you have never dreamed of. Well done Ottavia❤️Bravo❤️
I think someone called it “cucina povera” (my spelling.? Is bad?). something like maybe “food for poor people “ but I find it fascinating what you can do with just a few ingredients and not being wasteful.
Beautifully made culurgiones! Lovely ladies! I love it when they talk about their families, the past and show photos. It adds so much depth to what they are cooking.
Yes for me this is not a cooking show it's about the lives of the ( mostly ) ladies that cook the pasta. Today the bit about her not throwing away a paper bag made me laugh as did she. Working a loom at 87? A a twinkle in her eye . It is also about the present. These ladies remember the past but live in the now.
Oh I LOVED this! This woman is something else! Her and I have allot in common just looking at her home with the beautiful baskets on the wall and the beautiful cloth on the refrigerator and when she walked into the next room and wow all the house plants! I chuckled too hearing the english house sparrows chirping! They must be everywhere! They added to the joy of this video!
Amazing. How sad that much of the world is becoming Americanised and does not live with heart, like this. But how wonderful that family and good cooking are still alive in places. Long may it last, and God bless these grannies. Thank you.
Last summer I worked in a restaurant that served home made ravioli. We rolled out around 8+ (16 at times) kilos of dough every other day for spaghetti and ravioli. Man, it was not fun. And this signorina makes hundreds, even a thousand at times! At a ripe old age of 80+ Here is to thousands and thousands more ravioli for her family and friends! And the time shared with her loved ones. Cheers.
You should see, I don't even say try, how "passata di pomodoro" is done, that's a ton of work for tens of persons, consider that at the end you should have your passata, meaning for you and your family for 1 year.
I love Ottavia's waste-not-want-not approach, a gal after my own heart. When she said: "The person who likes mint wins today" I almost jumped out of my chair (I totally lurve mint in dishes where it's not expected). Brava Ottavia!
They look like pasta presents they are so beautiful! Ottavia and Lara have real talent and I bet they are delicious in addition to being beautiful! TFS, Sharon😊
The pasta made by hand with the hands of grannies has a unique flavor in the world: the love and energy of these women is a fundamental part of the recipe. 🥰 Tasting fresh homemade pasta is a life-changing discovery that makes all other types of industrial pasta terrible. E la cucina sarda è tra le migliori che abbiamo qui in Italia ❤️❤️. Grazie mille dalla Toscana per quest'altro meraviglioso video 🙏
Sardinia: best beaches and pristine sea. Unique nature, tradition and DNA. There is something special about the island I cannot explain. Love Mirto, Mamuthones, Tenores, Fregola, Sebadas,Wines ,Ichnusa and Horse Meat Caddozzone…I could go for ever…
This is the best channel!! I love watching these wonderful ladies (and men!) making their traditional dishes and talk about their families! What a gem! 😋😋😋
Wonderful. Everything in this video brought back so many memories from my childhood. All those baskets and sifters on the wall we had and used all the time. Home made dried mint and not store bought, gives a dish a wonderful flavor. It can be used in many different ways. Love that white cheese and that beautiful olive oil. Great dish for people who are missing some teeth :)
did you see how beautiful her and her husband were? they were once young and beautiful. Thank God for this channel.. Preserving history and tradition and culture. I would love a much longer version as well.
Ottavia has a beautiful family! I loved when she showed her great nonna and her nonna along with the rest of the family photos🧡 She is an amazing granny with many talents 🙂!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please we really need more frequent videos, we can't live without Pasta Grannies. They cheer us up more than you can imagine, they're simply a therapy and gives pure happiness. This video is so sweet, we enjoy every second of it. Please try to upload for frequent videos 💚❣️
Those culurgiones look lovely, and what a nicely decorated home. I admit at times I'd love to see a longer video format when possible to learn more about them, like her weaving.
I have so much sympathy for Ottavia. I wish her to make uncountable more Cullurgiones! To live on managing her skills and making her family happy with this wonderful dish!
Absolutely love all the videos of Pasta Grannies.. I'm a great fan of Italian food even though I have tasted very few dishes. I just want to be there to taste all those dishes and spend time with the grannies to hear their stories and live a little like them. I felt the Grannies would be happy if their food is tasted by the guests first and appreciate it instead of they themselves taste it and tell its good.
God bless these ladies! The baskets, the loom, the earthenware bowls; This dish is beautiful and they make it look (almost) easy even though we know the years of experience in each bite. Another gem!
Thank you Vicky and team for allowing us into the magical cucina of Octavia. It was so moving to how beautiful they were here husband and herself when young lovers. The most simple yet the most complex so enjoyed watching the pinching, very clever and adept. Ramon.
There is only one single downside to learning cooking from your grandma (regardless of where you come from). No matter how hard you try, you always end up cooking for a family of at least 8. Upside is, you become very popular among colleagues at work, because someone has to finish the "leftovers".
Brilliant! Ottavia is a real gem. I love that dumpling technique, no wastage & no chance of air bubbles that can expand & cause a dumpling to open. Nice looking too as the fold looks like an ear of wheat. Her hands are strong working hands but still so nimble to make those tiny pleats. I know its double carbing; potato inside pasta... but whats not to like there. Would be a hearty meal or side. I wonder if the culurgiones are ever fried after cooking to give a crispy texture like some dumplings? They look like idea candidates for it. Super video Vicky, I really enjoyed that. The addition of the little pasta/pastry cutter made from a coin was a wee treat too. 😁
Thanks James, double carbing is splendid - the potato ravioli from Romagna/Tuscany are wonderful! I've seen cooks put ravioli directly onto their wood burning stoves to grill elsewhere in Italy (Liguria) but didn't see this in Sardinia. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Ms. Vicky, Ms Ottavia is a dear soul pastagrannie & another great chef, these look delicious & you have us sold with the potato filling( we also have Irish potatoes here similar to yukon gold ones & maybe turnips mashed together) & she is like us as she waste nothing, we do not have a recipe like that here but the closest thing would be a potato/turnip & colby or swiss cheese filling placed in somewhat of a dough wrapped dumpling boiled in real homemade chicken stock with onions, parsley, garlic , celery, leeks, all veggies/herbs 1st sauteed' in a little bacon fat & then all of that in the stock when simmering & then add the dumplins' which are done when they float to the surface. I'm sure Ms. Ottavia's recipe is better as ours is fairly basic as per usual here in Appalachia but delicious & filling, plus we eat raw chunks of on onion & cornbread on the side as per usual with many meals here & cold sweet tea with lemon or cold glass of buttermilk to drink, God Bless you all
@@pastagrannies Ms. Vicky, thank you for your kind words in your reply & they are very good & filling plus a good budget meal which most foods are in Appalachia, God Bless you all
What a lovely lady and how nice to see her engagement photo of her as a young girl!

Anyone else want to hug these Grannies and just enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with them. They must have so many stories!

Ottavia is lovely, kind, laughing and full of love. I really liked her spirit. Thank you for bringing this spirit to us.
She was so pretty when young(weren’t we all?) and her husband very handsome. What a skill!
I'm from sardinia and this video is amazing. This is the true spirit of our island, thank you
I love Ottavia's waste-not-want-not approach, a gal after my own heart.
When she said: "The person who likes mint wins today" I almost jumped out of my chair (I totally lurve mint in dishes where it's not expected).
Brava Ottavia!
I actually cried when she began showing all those pictures. I just want to give her a big hug.
I love to see the grannies each week. It's so marvelous that they get to be filmed making their wonderful dishes.
Oh Octavia I could watch you all day!
Those culurgiones are just beautiful. The pleating is extraordinary and they have such an elegant shape, like nothing I've ever seen before. Glorious.
Congratulazioni alla Signora Ottavia!🌹❤️ Viva le tradizioni ed i valori di Sardegna! 🤩❤️
Their pinching and folding is artwork. Beautiful.

Yum! Potatoes, cheese and pasta. You can't go wrong with this trio.🍴
Maybe like an Italian Perogi! What a delight Ottavia is!
Such a pleasure hearing sardinian language
I miss my granny so much, those videos make me feel better
So now we have weaving grannies as well 👏👌😊
hi Paul, Ottavia is our first weaving grandmother, though a lot are expert seamstresses and can do embroidery and so on. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Those culurgiones look lovely, and what a nicely decorated home. I admit at times I'd love to see a longer video format when possible to learn more about them, like her weaving.
Look at all the history these ladies are sharing. Great video guys.
she reminds my grandmother from making treads and kneading with the loom, epic
Such a lovely lady! Hope this recipe is in Pasta Grannies comfort cooking❣️
I have so much sympathy for Ottavia. I wish her to make uncountable more Cullurgiones! To live on managing her skills and making her family happy with this wonderful dish!
I tried culurgiones at a Sardinian restaurant, they were the best pasta I've ever had
She's so cute! And the dish looks delicious!
Que bela a nona Otávia! Que casal lindo formava com seu marido!
LOST ARTS!! FABULOUS!!
She is sooo cute! I felt like hugging her👍👍
"Cute?" Skilled, with no doubt much wisdom
Beautiful beautiful beautiful👏👏👏beautiful nonna, beautiful food and beautiful video!!!!❤thank you pasta grannies for these lovely momentos😍
Everything was lovely, her personality, her cooking, her kitchen and not least her stories
Wonderful to see Ottavia dispensing the Passata from the long-life pack, not through the screw cap but from a knife slit! Lateral thinking...
Faster
What a great tip on how to practise!
What an adorable nonna
those hands. what a beauty!
Somehow, this segment was just loaded with buckets of magical charm.
yes, Ottavia is a humble and charming woman 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
That looks wonderful! What joy!
You have the sweetest grannies! Each one is a dear in their own way. Absolutely love this channel.
Viva Ottavia! Beautiful! And the culurgiones are beautiful, too!!!
Culurgiones is my favourite pasta ever. I would prepare it and eat it every day 💛
They look deceptively simple but I bet they tasted incredibly rich!
Absolutely love all the videos of Pasta Grannies.. I'm a great fan of Italian food even though I have tasted very few dishes.

When she shows the pictures it is very emotional. A human life is so short
These look very yummy, good video!
Goodness, this is so good!
Such beauties! Thank you for the wonderful lesson.
For these beautiful grannies, cooking is an art and is always done with so much love. Brava for another wonderful dish.
Amei; quão bom são nossas senhorinhas e suas artes
God bless these ladies! The baskets, the loom, the earthenware bowls; This dish is beautiful and they make it look (almost) easy even though we know the years of experience in each bite. Another gem!
hi Scott, I'm glad you enjoyed meeting Ottavia and Laura 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Great recipe and I love her spirit.
Thank you Vicky and team for allowing us into the magical cucina of Octavia. It was so moving to how beautiful they were here husband and herself when young lovers. The most simple yet the most complex so enjoyed watching the pinching, very clever and adept. Ramon.
hi Ramon. I am glad you enjoyed it!🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
I suspect making those neat little folds along the edge of her dumplings is MUCH trickier than she makes it look.
It's not easy, but you get the hang of it after making them a few times. In my experience it's moderately difficult in terms of pasta making.
There is only one single downside to learning cooking from your grandma (regardless of where you come from). No matter how hard you try, you always end up cooking for a family of at least 8. Upside is, you become very popular among colleagues at work, because someone has to finish the "leftovers".
hi Robert, that's very true! There is always the freezer ... 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Yup. I grew up in a family of 7. There are 4 in mine. We always have left overseas.
BRAVA !
Sono stata nella bella Sardegna.
È buona la cucina sarda.
culurgiones is my favorite pasta for sure, been so long since last eating it
I wish I could make pinches that beautiful. I’m going to practice
Another unknown classic.. Cheers 🥂
And that's the beauty of it! Here we always discover new things, even we Italians !
I loved her. We ate similar ones called Khinkali in Georgia 🇬🇪
she is a treasure
Dios bendiga a esta señora!!! Una maravilla.
Le cose buone dei nostri nonni .....italia fantastica......tradizioni uniche e speriamo di conservarle.
Yum, reminds me of the pyrohy of my Ukrainian heritage. Interesting to see the addition of mint and olive oil.
Culurgiones are sooooo yummi!
I love these videos and the authentic history! It always warms my heart. You are my go to channel for all things homemade pasta.
I am glad you like them!🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

These look so beautiful and delicious. 😋
Vous devriez mettre des sous titres en différentes langues . Vos vidéos et recettes sont merveilleuses d’expérience. ❤
those are similar to "ruskie pierogi" in Poland which have potato bacon filling. I will have to try this recipe.
Fantastica! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You Ottavia!!!💃🏽🌄👍🍷
Just precious
this is the best channel on yootoob & by a long shot!
thank you 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
