  • Irma is a our oldest Pasta Granny and she was keen to invite us back and make tortelloni.
    She made a large quantity, I suggest you have the amounts. Use 300g 00 flour and 3 eggs for the pasta. for the filling, allow 100g cooked, squeezed dry, chopped Swiss chard, 150g ricotta (drained), a tablespoon of chopped parsley and a tablespoon of double (heavy) cream, 50g 30 month (aged) parmigiano (or to taste), salt and pepper.
    For the tomato sauce, use the best passata you can find (400ml) heat it up with a little extra virgin olive oil and let it simmer for 10 minutes or so. Take it off the heat and melt 30g or so of unsalted butter into it. More Parmigiano to serve.
    Thank you to Caseifico Casello for showing us round (and for their delicious cheese).

    Irma is glorious! To make it to 104 is remarkable. To be cognizant and ambulatory is a gift. To still be able to make such a dish with her own hands is miraculous! I am so glad that your channel has been able to preserve these special ladies for all time. Thanks for another special episode.

    I am genuinely humbled by her approach to life and her pasta & cooking skills - I’m no slouch in the kitchen, nor when it comes to making pasta, but she leaves me in the dust! Those tortelloni are perfect. And she’s so happy and so vibrant with life too … bless you Irma, and thanks for cooking for us again, and blessing us with your joy and positivity - you are a treasure, and deserve whatever Italy’s highest honour is, for promoting your country and its cuisine so positively. Here’s to many, many more birthdays for you!

    Sono assolutamente meravigliata dalla bellezza di questa donna, Irma. Occhi stupendi, brillanti, e giocosi, sorriso meraviglioso. Irma trasmette forza, gentilezza, attenzione verso l'altro, umorismo, umiltà. Forse è tutto quello il segreto di una lunga e bella vita, in salute, e in forma. Grazie per aver condiviso con noi la maestria di questa grande donna. E tanti auguri ad Irma.

    One kilo of 00 for four people? That’s more than double the normal portion size. It’s made my day seeing this straight after her tagliatelle video she did at 103.

  • @elisaastorino2881
    @elisaastorino2881 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Happy birthday to this lovely lady. Yes, regular exercise helps but to make it to 104, many other things come into play. Practically all of the ladies on this channel live in the country or small towns, where it's easier to lead a simple life growing their own food and/or getting it from local sources. Another common factor is the lack of stress in their lives, evidenced by their healthy attitudes, even though they all seemed to have worked very hard all their lives. They acknowledge hardships like poverty but they don't dwell on it or complain. They're obviously quite happy with what they have and don't expect much. In short, they have a very high degree of mental and emotional health, which contributes to their physical health. Of course individual genetics is important too.

    I can't wait to go to Italy and find a beautiful town to live in. I have always said I want to live until I'm at least 105 years old. I love making pasta for my family and friends, when she said I will know I did good when everyone tells me how good it is! She also said I love pleasing people, and so do I. I'm also a good person and I love to dance! I just love her. In three years I will be in Italy, and I'm going to find my ancestors home towns in Sicily. I'm going to buy some of the things these pasta grannies have to make their magic. Thank you Vickie and your team for bringing these incredible women and their wonderful families to us all around the world. Ciao, and she is really famous now!!! She's amazing!
