    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.

      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.

    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!

I chuckled too hearing the english house sparrows chirping! They must be everywhere! They added to the joy of this video!

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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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".

    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

    I always love seeing the women roll out the pasta the old-fashioned way. It was kind of disappointing to see this one using a pasta machine. Still, it's easier to get a consistent thickness that way, so I can't really fault her for that, and the recipe sounds delicious.
