1:32 when she sees the egg falling from her table, she is like: in the name of Santa Maria, get you eggy legs here or I will beat you with my spatula which is also 600 years old!’ This woman is a legend!
i love the way she answer to the question "can we eat" with a simple "it's ready"...as if she didn't want to force nobody to eat. Not a yes or no....just "it's ready"
not quite like it, I think...it's more like since they are ready the only thing to do is to eat them, like she's answering a rethorical question...she even shrugs her shoulders, as to say "what are you going to do otherwise? they are ready! cmon! si mangia !!! " :D
@@Thyrfingrulez you did fine. i understood you perfectly. everyone has a slightly different take but it's all the same in the end: I cooked of course you are going to eat! :)
Please adopt me into your familia today Angelina. I can eat that chickpea and pasta recipe everyday also. Thank you so very much, my dear lady, Angelina. May Father God always keep you healthy, happy and blessed. 🙏🍲🙏💐 🙏🙌🙏
My great grandparents came to America on the boat from Sicily. They are all gone now including my sweet Momma. This channel warms my heart. Im so very thankful and happy that I found it. Thank you Pasta Grannies!!!
Her great great grand children and all her relatives must be very lucky to have her in their lives. 91 and more full of life than most young adults that I know. God bless her. 😊
Much history in those hands, those are the women that build Italy and they will be greatly missed. Vicky you are doing a great job in moralising their recipes and stories. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤❤
This one is the "ALL ANCIENT" video, and ALL functions perfectly! What a pretty face she has. Love that antique scale hanging behind her. Reminded me of when we were kids we used to buy fresh chickpeas from street vendors; sold in bunches for us to pop the pods and enjoy. It was decades ago on a different continent! The chickpea liquid and the home made thick olive oil will make the dish very creamy and delicious. Growing up on chestnuts, chickpeas, olive oil and everything made right there will add healthy years to your life. Please have more videos like this. Thanks Vicky and team. :)
Have you got a grandmother willing and able to be filmed, Souad? Your stories are always so vivid. Angelina's episode is especially cinematic thanks to the location and her home. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies Thank you Vicky. Unfortunately I don't. Both my grannies have passed decades ago, and were not Italians. Although I come from a different background, very lucky to have three (plus the ones that influenced us later) very ancient cultures in us, we have lots in common with Italy and the Italians. From the ingredients, the climate, the sea, lifestyle and many traditions...things they took from us and vice versa ! That's why I enjoy your videos so much. If you haven't tried yet, you could probably inquire with the local mayors to lead you to their precious grannies :) Good luck.
@@souadghazal2533 yes, we ask the local mayor, the organisers of food festivals and so on. I was intrigued by your grandmothers because I thought they would not be Italian. I recently was sent a clip of a lovely 94 year old from Libya making a pasta dish called rishda. I had incorrectly assumed pasta was a result of the Italian occupation, but was told pasta making is a several century old tradition in North Africa. Now I want to visit! 😀 best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies It was not Italian occupation for us; we had the French for a while, who adored us, our country and our food. My roots are Phoenician and Arab (the same guys who were in Sicily at one point) on one side and Armenian with heavy Turkish influence on the other side. So good food all around :)
I need to get back to my roots and eat like this again. My youthful foundation has kept me in good health up into my 60s. So far none of the crazy diseases that seem to happen to everybody at my age. What I do eat everyday is food cooked in olive oil, spiced coffee with cinnamon and cloves, cold tea of ginger and cinnamon. My husband likes some of what I cook, he tries. I loved boiled chestnuts. Must go find some in their season. Eat more chickpeas too!
Angelina is so shy and adorable! I love how italians do mind the quality of their ingredients, I think this makes italian cousine so special. Oh and the dish looks perfect for cold weather!
i truly love everything about this channel: the genuine admiration of a british woman for italian cuisine and the nonnas, these old hands moving with skill and lifelong trained muscle memory, the beautiful landscapes, the many ideas for new recipes i try, and for some reason the music isn't getting old! 😍
Seriously soooo much respect to thise grannies, that they still cook pasta on the old traditional way in they high age, im so facinated by then that they still do it
@@gianmarcorusso1713 you'll see several more women in their 90s over the next few months - and one who is 102 and still making pasta! best wishes, Vicky
I think I get more enjoyment out of these videos than anything, that a simple life is still possible, at least somewhere it heartening. The freshness of the Italian life is wonderful.
Hmmm, looks good. Though it looked sunny & warm where you were I bet coming home & eating a bowl of that on a cold wet day would be just heaven. Going to give it a go tomorrow. Loving the videos still, never stop. 🍝
@@mandisa7356 It was really good, one of those simple dishes that's a real pleasure. I had it on a really cold day for lunch and it both filled me up and warmed me up at the same time. I made it again with some dried fava beans this week and it was equally good. Think you could make a version with any beans you have though the texture of the chickpeas against the soft pasta is really nice so I can see why its a traditional favourite. You should give it a try, well worth making & so simple.
Beautiful Grannie. Her skin is lovely. And the pasta with chickpeas sounds delicious. You are so fortunate to be able to witness and taste and share these treasures. Thank you!
I love the video, and, as always, I’m absolutely in awe of the Nonna. Immediately tried to cook it myself. Absolutely delicious recipe! Thank for this channel 👏
Just - wonderful! ✨ I'm actually pleasantly surprised that chickpeas are a long-standing food in Italy. I adore them, just like I adore this channel. :)
This video is a masterpiece. It makes me so emotional. Pasta grannies shows tender, resistance and history. Thank you all! This video, in special, its so touching. Mrs Angelina is strong and her simplicity makes us think about life and how strong are our grannies and mums. Best wishes. I’m very grateful
My family were contadini from Tuscany. Very similar dishes. Provincia di Pisa. Bientina. Thank you Vicki.You haven't changed much through the years. Grazie
I Love your channel. Thank you for all the videos. I did "lagane e cicir'" last night. In north Calabria they do the same dish. Sometimes with more tomato in it. Lovely videos
My father is from the same region as Angelina, so her dialect is very familiar! The pasta looks delicious, I’ll be trying this recipe soon. Grazie, Angelina!
I remember the taste of a super fresh egg right from the backyard where chickens have been basking in the sun and roaming all day. It has nothing to do with store-bought organic eggs. Fresh pepper from the field, sundried garlic... There is no such a thing as a simple dish with fresh, home-grown ingredients.
Ms. Vicky, what a great recipe & Angelina is a great, beautiful pasta granny. I like the size, freshness, texture of the pasta. In our Appalchian area they also call chick peas garbanzo beans or ci ci beans. Hard to find them dry/uncooked, the best canned brand i have found are " Goya",( a tip for subs/viewers) they are very good. We also make a product called " Hummus" which is the beans ground into a paste in a blender or food processor with just a little olive oil, s&p, garlic, spread it on wheat crackers or whatever you like, it is delicious. God bless you & all the pasta grannies/subs & viewers & everyone please stay safe. btw, pray that this new covid vaccine developed here in the U.S. works, as it will be shipped worldwide.
Better if you can find good quality dried chickpeas to soak and cook and never discard the liquid! It can even be used in some desserts. Hummus : Cooked garbanzo, mashed garlic, TAHINI, lemon juice, salt. And for a smoother hummus if you have the patience, remove the outer skin when cooked. Everything else like paprika, olive oil, chili flakes is used as garnish. Many different delicious dishes you can make with garbanzo, not just hummus.
@@souadghazal2533 my friend, thank you for that info, i'm from rural Kentucky, U.S., & it is hard to find the dried beans, but i have the time to peel them as i am retired & disabled, might as well peel beans when i'm bored, lol, have a great weekend
@@stevelogan5475 You're welcome. You buy Goya products, they have them dried. I'm sure regular supermarkets, Target/Walmart carry them too. I'm in the US as well. Good luck.
hi Steve, I hope you can track down some dried chickpeas as Souad recommends. I'm a fan of the pressure cooker for pulses but I have to confess I've never got around to peeling them! best wishes, Vicky

I'm so glad she spills the eggs too! Maybe someday I will be 91 and still spilling the eggs
Look at her facial expression, I am pretty sure that - if there were no cameras present - we would've heard some pretty colorful Italian ^^
Something this pandemic won't be able to take away from us: THE LOVE FOR OUR GRANNIES😍. Beautiful videos as always👏👏
Beautiful. Angelina, the family estate, the life, and the pasta. Just beautiful. This little video is like a painting come to life!

Omg 600 year old olive trees 😻😱
@Thomas Hellberg They're cutting them too
there a olive trees in Athens with mores than 2000 years...its amazing...still giving us some few olives
I really had to count on my hands how many generations "great great grandchildren" were. What a blessing! ❤❤
Much history in those hands, those are the women that build Italy and they will be greatly missed. Vicky you are doing a great job in moralising their recipes and stories. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤❤
Her house existed in Italy before tomatoes did. That's amazing.
What a wonderful woman. That dish looked delightful.

Love the economy of cooking the pasta in with the chickpeas, useful tip at times like this when fuel is so expensive.
You can see the decades of love, passion and dedication in what was being created. Cheers!
Oh my gosh that looks absolutely wonderful!!!!!

Simple and delicious! My favourites are beans, of any kind and pasta, of any kind and a dish that has a bit of fire..
I can't help but seeing a young soul working in an elder body
I grow up eating pasta whole my life Watching my mum and grandma making it that's why I'm a good Cook is that makes me Italian as well ?
Mi fa sbavare ! Vado Private questo ! Grazie e baci della Germania ! ☺🙃
