- Sthridhlja is a tricky to pronounce but fun to make, no rolling pin involved, tagliatelle style pasta. It's been made in Italy since 1450 when Albanian refugees settled in southern Italy. These Arbëreshe communities still retain the language and culture, along with some delicious recipes like this one. Marietta's recipe is so simple it isn't really a recipe - it just needs good ingredients. Try grinding your own dried peperoncini - it makes a big difference to the flavour. One of the popular local Calabrese varieties is called Diavolicchio Diamante and is medium hot (30.000 SU).
For the pasta: 300g semolina flour, 145ml water, pinch of salt
For the dressing: 150ml extra virgin olive oil, 2 plump garlic cloves, 2 heaped teaspoons ground dried chilli peppers of your choice. Optional: 5 dried sweet peppers called peperone crusco
This is everything. My dream is to become a pasta granny.
go for it! ..adamina?
I'm 57, & i'd just like to live as long as a pastagrannie, even if i could not make the pasta, lol.
For now you can already have a life as an pastaboy.
Me too 😀
me too man!
This reminds me so much of the Chinese hand pulled noodles, down to the spicy chilly oil used as dressing. Yummmmm. Vicky are you hiring? 🥲🥲🥲
You're right, it really does!
There are other videos similar - even one where she pulls the noodles just like lamian....
I was about to make the same observation. Ah, the glories of food!
@@Yakitoriotaku yes this pasta pops up in different parts of Italy with different names. Sometimes the ribbon is flattened, sometimes it's unbroken - there are small variations. best wishes, Vicky
good observation, Nancy! And I think I would need a football stadium sized kitchen to accommodate my volunteer tasters 😀 best wishes, Vicky
My parents dried those peppers. They would hang them from the garage rafters...My father ate them like candy. I remember how crunchy they were. He loved them. My parents immigrated to the US from Sturno, Italy in the mid 1950’s. Homemade pasta and these peppers were a staple in our household. 🇮🇹 Not to mention the homemade tomato sauce and wine 🍷😘🇮🇹
How interesting seeing This unique pasta of Albanian origin in Italy. Love the culture and story behind this dish. Grazie!
I am an American of Arbershe ancestry. I hope you can post more videos of Arbereshe cuisine. Your channel is truly amazing!!!!!
So am I!
Hi! Where are you from? I'm arbereshe and I have relatives living in USA.
@@TheDruga89 I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
@@TheDruga89 My deepest apologies for replying so late. I am from Northeastern Pennsylvania. Many Arbereshe went there to mine coal. How about your family???
@Monke I am also of Arbereshe descent, and also from Pittsburgh! Our family is from Barile.
I am Albanian German , and was totally surprised when I heard garlic and flour in Albanian. Looks really delicious!
samesies
same with the word shtridhlja.
My great grandmother was Arbëreshe from Firmo (aka Ferma) which is close to Lungro (aka Ungra) and made these--with boiled water. With Pasta Grannies I get to relive the various dishes from Italy that I remember as a child. Thank you so much Vicky!
All the small variations are so interesting. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
My father was born in Firmo
Had no Idea there was small Albanian communities in italy, what a lovely dish they have brought!
Super cool right? There are actually quite a few and there are lots of Albanians that have been there for hundreds of years especially in southern Italy.
Oops! Lols like I answered the same thing the video explained later
According to a video I just saw, there are Greek-speaking communities in southern Calabria (the community in this video seems to be in northern Calabria, close to Basilicata) that speak a Greek dialect. And, still, they are Calabrian and Italian.
There are many albanian communities, as greeks and serbian in south Italy. We, in the north have bilingual slovenian, german, ladino, friulan, french (in the west)...

Omg!!! I am an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo and I started listening to her speaking thinking "that sounds A LOT like ancient Albanian", should have known it is Arbëresh 😆😍
I am Arbereshe from Pennsylavania. I visited Albania in 2018. I was the first member of my family to be back in 500 years. It was a very emotional trip.
The hardest part of that was making the pasta, just proves the fact that sometimes less is more... Those grannies know their stuff.
These Nonna’s don’t play...lol 🇮🇹
The hardest part is actually pronouncing the damn thing...
Përshëndetje zonja Marieta dhe faleminderit për këtë recete të mrekullueshme Arbëreshe qe keni trashëguar brez pas brezi që nga koha e mbretit Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeut, do ishte mire që këto receta te patentoheshin dhe njiheshin si receta arbëreshe-shqipëtare ne bote.
Ju përshëndes dhe uroj gjitha të mirat. 🇦🇱
Salve signora Marieta e grazie per questa meravigliosa ricetta Arbëresh che avete ereditato di generazione in generazione fin dai tempi del re Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, sarebbe bene che queste ricette fossero brevettate e conosciute come ricette Arbëresh-albanesi nel mondo.
Vi saluto e vi auguro ogni bene 🇦🇱
@Pasta Grannies - Thank you guy’s 🙏 🍷
@pastagrannies. I know this is an italian lady with albanian roots but if you ask me this just looks like chineese biangbiang noodles or something along those lines. From pulling the noodle to the chilli oil topping...funny how the culinary world develops in different parts of the globe with much of the same ideas ^^ love the video keep it up guys
Faleminderit zonja Marietta per kete recete te mrekullueshme! Shpresoj te jem ne gjendje ta pergatis edhe une per familjen time ❤️
Golden hands of arbereshë nonna❤️
One of my great-grandmothers was Arbereshe. Thanks for this!
Most of the Italian restaurants in Center City Philadelphia are owned by Arbereshe.
Quando meraviglioso è vederti e sentirti cara signora!
Ooohhh, shqipja e vjetër,.... kur e dëgjoj me bën te qaj nga emocionet, njerëz të mrekullueshëm që meritojnë respektin dhe adhurimin e çdo shqiptari në botë. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
At seventy five years old I’m one I love to cook and see my family eat and eat and eat
...
these recipies are like finding little bits of heaven here on earth
Amazing technique! That takes a lot of work. I remember my grandparents and my mom drying peppers like that in Italy. There is no taste quite like that. I love these videos. They transport me back to a time when, as a little girl, life was simple, meals that were as a result of hard labour from sowing the seeds, harvesting the crop and preparing a dish so simple and delicious! Kudos to these wonderful treasures! Stay safe and God Bless!
hi Angie, I'm glad the video brings back happy memories for you, best wishes, Vicky
I enjoyed watching this a lot...
The originality...
The skills...the dedication...the simplicity....and above all the hard work...,
Hard-working people are good people....
The toasting of the chilies & garlic was the scene stealer! A simple way for any of us can change up our weeknight dinners. Toss in left over veggies to make it a complete meal. It is these little things like grinding the spices that can refresh your own culinary portfolio. Thank you Vicky & team for recording, editing, and sharing this experience with us.
Absolutely fabulous.... I need to try this..... Awesome to see the ladies cook with passion...... This should be on TV not the useless fancy chefs... Grazie Mille..
queste chicche mi commuovono e riempiono il cuore di gioia e la bocca di saliva...
I nostri ideatori di programmi televisivi dovrebbero imparare da voi l'arte di comunicare e divulgare la tradizione culinaria regionale italiana, altro che la prova del cuoco!
Continuate cosi. Grazie
How I wish i can taste all the pasta here 🤤 Greetings from the Philippines ❤️
I hope you will be able to travel to Italy one day. Stay safe, xx
You've really outdone yourselves with this one - Amazing authentic cooking!
Attempted this at home and the results were delicious, simple but so magical. Thank you Marietta for sharing this :)
Oh my god, I can't believe i have discovered a new cooking channel that is soo good!!! You can't get more local than this
I want it! Immediately! Oh, this just looks delicious and it's such fun to watch Marietta make it. Love all those beautiful peppers.
And I think microwaving a frozen dinner is a lot of work. Thanks Vicky, wonderful Pasta Granny!
Do another video with her speaking herself in Arbereshe 😍Albanian it's so pleasant
Chilies and pasta? What a dynamite combination! I have not found anything on this channel that I didn’t like! Grazie!
No need for machinery....hands with the perfect skills are just fine .. for a fresh and simple dish.
My Arbereshe grandma never owned a pasta machine
wow looks alot like Chinese noodles, the way she makes the pasta and even the chilli oil.
More Arbereshe recipes please
Please tell Maria that this recipe is one of my faves to make!
hi Katrina, yes I'll pass the message on 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
That pasta seems to be so good.
Someone could think it’s “just” semolino tagliatelle, but I’m sure it is different: I mean the pulling/rolling/squishing/rolling/pulling process gives a particular “fibers orientation” which translates itself into a very particular taste. And the dressing is perfect. My grandmother used to make a kind of that, but using a V cutted slots roller to obtain triangular section “spaghetti” called “marcannali”
From Bisaccia (Avellino), my father’s hometown

How mild are those peppers, really?
@@nonenoneonenonenone
Personally I ate them many times and hotness🥵 may vary from case to case; they are surely hot but if you take a look at Scoville chart, they are much lower than jalapeños, Trinidad scorpion and stuff like that. Furthermore the old lady told that roasting those a little bit, they loose a little hotness. What I noticed is that they do not just burn in your mouth like some other ones, they have an intense taste that, digging in my memories, I could describe as “summer taste”.
Italy kitchen has Power
I love pasta all'olio, aglio e peperoncino and that pulling technique looks amazing;o)
Important to keep traditions alive, thx a lot for sharing!
I’m from Turin, so glad I found these out 🤩❤️❤️❤️
I love how every grannies always make their own pasta. It really does taste better
Shtrydhja means to "squeeze" in Albanian. I think they gave the pasta this name because they make the dough by hand (by squeezing it). The word has of course evolved a bit through the centuries.
how interesting, thank you. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
I love her verbal participation. She's wonderful and knows what she wants.
This is one of the reasons why in Italy it is always worth eating in a "trattoria" especially if the owner says: "A lady makes me these..."
Great tip, I will definitely remember this if I ever make it to Italia.
Oh my God! This looks absolutely delicious!
My grandparents were from another Arbereshe village in Calabria, but I never saw my grandmother make this type of pasta. There were always plenty of peppers, though.
That looks way too good, I think I will be trying that recipe soon.
This was incredible! I love explaining different parts of the heritage and vocabulary words I learn to my daughter. Can anybody enlighten us as to why Albanians fled from their country?
To escape to the ottomans invasion
The skill level to do this! She's amazing
The making of the pasta is just so skilful. I could never imagine learning how to do that!
I want to give her a hug.
Love to see what kind of food arises when cultures mix!
Having read and heard the name of this delicious pasta, I now know what it feels like to be an Anglophone trying to pronounce my native language (Polish).
For overkill, you can always ask them to pronounce Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz :)
@@smtuscany I've done that before, it wasn't pretty. :D
Frugal is an interesting word! The simplicity was lovely too. I like it simple every time.
I’m gonna try that, with my homegrown chili’s! 😊 mmm
This looks like a perfect snowed in on a winter day project. Fabulous! Thanks for sharing! :)
This is a very lovely traditional pasta that I ever see. Yes, this is absolutely delicious.
The main reason, why we can not cook the same dish - such fresh products are impossible to find in supermarkets. I enjoy the video. Thank you, senora Marietta!
fresh does not exist ! feel sorry for anyone who has to buy those frozen foods, cooked who knows how long ago, with preservatives, and sitting in freezers who knows for how long, and the horrific smell when they are heated or cooked in the microwave ! Even fruits and vegetables harvested unripe, two or three days later arrive to the store with no taste or flavor.....
Î was so shocked when she ripped the hoop apart!! my mouth stood open. All the effort of the continuous hoop! for nothing! xD
That's yummy 😋😋😋. I've just finished my dinner and now I'm hungry 😭😭.love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
I bought some dried chiles recently and didn't know what to do with them. I'm trying this dish right now!
My grandfather was from lungro
Greetings from Belgium
So many Arbereshe from Lungro have responded here!!!!!
These aunties are so cute and wholesome 🥰
Beautifully done! The sauce and the pasta. I am sure it is delicious! Thank you pasta grannies!
They are so hard working ❤️
I have learned different recipes from them and those were fabulous 😄
Yummy, I totally love pasta !!!
Ms. Vicky, another great recipe & looks absolutely delicious. Another pasta i've never heard of, let alone be able to spell or hardly pronounce, lol. God bless you all & please stay safe.
hi Steve, if you move over into Vaglio, Basilicata the pasta becomes 'manate' in which is easier to pronounce, but in the near by village of Ginestra - it's 'dorës' 😀 best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies Ms. Vicky, ty for that info, i always like learning new things, even at age 57.
Oh my gosh again!!!! Another unique pasta by a master! This looks so delicious!
Absolutely fantastic!
Another winning video and fabulous home cook.
Wow! A vegan recipe!
This is probably my favourite channel on youtube....will have to buy the book :)
Infinity scarf of pasta!!
Me lembra minha família italiana
Hello Maria ❤️love your pasta recipe 🌸well wishes from Georgia ❤️
This look stupendous!
I'm curious to find out if keeping the dough in one circle till the end has religious or superstitious beliefs. When my mother made polenta and put it on the board, she always used string and cut "the sign of the cross" in it before continuing with the cutting of the squares. It may have just been her belief, but it would be interesting to understand the reasoning behind the circle business.
Muscle memory is a powerful thing! Besides, the reason this granny has been making it all her life this way seems to be that it keeps the pasta from spaghettifying out all over the place, is easy to manipulate as a whole, and helps her roll it out evenly. Making pasta this way is laborious enough, so generations of pasta grannies have perfected an efficient way of doing it.
Eu queria este prato aqui e agora na minha frente !
its almost like asian noodles, which are also often dressed with chili oil as a quick meal
This is what people don't understand, you can never make it as good as Marietta using the pasta you buy in a box and the canned dried tomatoes from the store it's all processed food no comparison to the vegetables that grow under the sun of Italy and the soil of the Mediterranean region.
Looks absolutely delicious.
Great recipe! And it's vegan 🌱😊
5:05 haha Didn't know old Hugh Grant was living un Italy...!!
Che simpatica che siete signora Marietta e bravissima cuoca un bacione dal 🇨🇦 da un siciliana 💌
SUPER 👏
Oh how much I love this channel :)
Perfect! Delicious.
Crikey, this should come with a warning. This is X rated pasta.
😰 Looks absolutely delicious.
Fascinating!
Dinner in America means ordering a pizza and watching TV
Dinner in Italy means planting wheat, harvesting it, collecting dew from leaves for water to make noodles, picking fresh peppers and tomatoes....
Lol.
... and saving seeds to plant the following year!
That’s because real food is not just fuel for your body, but also nourishment for your soul. It’s well worth the effort.
...and we are faster than you at learning the pronounciation of sthridhlja
I legit started crying when I saw this video... my grandma was from Lungro as well
I want to become a pasta granny too
Che buono, sarà sicuramente buonissimo, brava alla cuoca!
Che buono ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spicey pasta is very common in Calabria. Its the only way I like it.
Arbëreshe 😍 love to see it ❤️
Un'altra delizia....😍😍😍. Grazie Vicky ❤️ !
Muito bom.
Parabéns 😃👍
Looks soooo good
I’d eat that!
Congratulations to Miss Vicki on the James Beard Award!
Thank you Kathleen 🌺🌺😊 best wishes, Vicky
