92 year old Giulia makes saffron malloreddus pasta with artichokes| Pasta Grannies

The malloreddus pasta shape has several names; gnocchetti and cavatelli rigati are others. Giulia's have a lovely golden glow thanks to the locally grown Sardinian saffron.
For the dough: 400g 0 or plain flour, 200ml tepid water with half teaspoon salt dissolved into it, 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron.
For the artichokes: about 1.5kg fresh globe artichokes (most of the weight in the form of outer leaves are discarded), a whole lemon squeezed into a bowl of cold water. 1 plump garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, water if necessary, extra virgin olive to make the puree.

Giulia looks and sounds amazing! Who would believe her age? Amazing skin, voice, humour and strength to produce this delicious pasta from scratch! Hats off to this generation of pasta grannies. Thank you for bringing them to us every week ❤

This lovely lady is unbelievable .. I sure want to grow old like this👵

[@joanies6778]

I just turned 72 today... hope I'll still be cooking, baking, amd making home made pasta with a sense of humor at 92, too! Bravo!

[@miroslavisikiyski4876]

Giulia is so beautiful at 92!! And what a delightful personality! The pasta looks so delicious and creamy! TFS! Sharon 🤗♥️🍝

[@sharendonnelly7770]

Giulia made me laugh, she is a very feisty 92. What a wonderful dish! Loved the video!

[@j3annie1963]

A very witty woman! Another great story to publish Pasta Grannies. Here's to Guilia!

[@lauragrandgenett]

What a classy lady! I hope I am that healthy at 92. The ladies outfits were beautiful.

[@emmylou-y4b]

I love the traditional dress; these women and men are a joy to watch. I'm always hungry for whatever they prepare. God bless them.

[@EricaNernie]

Wow. You are doing so much to preserve this culture. The Italian government should be paying you! And if I'm as bright and on-the-ball as Giulia is at 92, I'll be most pleased. She's terrific.

[@elisaastorino2881]

Absolutely - the ministry of culture or whatever it is should hire Vicky as a consultant.

Beautiful people!! Their traditional dress is stunning!! Although the recipe seems simple to prepare, it is laborious. A labor of love, no doubt! Vicky, God has blessed you with so many lovely grannies who joyfully feed you. You, in turn, have blessed us with these wonderful productions!! God love you and keep you and all our Pasta Grannies! The crew and Rocco, too!!🙏❤😘

@pastagrannies I wish I had my granny alive ( she cooked really well like your grannies!!! ) to invite you, but if you ever can come, I can introduce to a few other grannies in my village and I could invite you to stay at my home if you don't have any problem with a dog inside the house and others outside, (they bark all night ) and lots of cats, outside☺️☺️☺️!!! You are very welcome 🙏 🕊♥️🌹🤗

[@CrowSkeleton]

Hi Rocco! Everyone in this is great, I love the early modern (late mediaeval?) fancy gang waiting outside. That some of the locals are able to grow their own saffron is very cool, and I hope there's someone still alive who knows how to make the reed baskets, it's an art worth preserving if it makes such delightful gnoccetti.

[@pastagrannies]

Actually they're no longer made in the same way and the vintage/antique ones are difficult to find.Traditionally they formed part of a woman's trousseau and/or were given as wedding presents. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

This looks like one of the most delicious dishes you've shared with us! Bravo to the spirited ladies!

[@mad8298]

Guilia is a treasure and so full of life and cheeky too. 😁 Love this dish. I have never seen the pasta made with saffron, but plan on trying to recreate this dish (albeit with inferior products that we have) in the near future. grazie mille!

[@swissfoodie3542]

This looks like a really tasty and very special dish, I would love to taste it ! And I really like the beautiful ladies traditional dresses. Thats Sardignia as pure as it can get. Thanks a lot Vicky for another great video.

Thank you girls. So grateful. Long live Italy. Globalism will be the end of many cultures. Each country must stay sovereign and strong. Great health and happiness for many years to come ladies. 🎩🌺🌄💪🥂

[@falt.a7350]

We try..we try... But new economy and politics wants cancel olds tradition and languages in evry region... And young's are almost lost in new socials devices..... We search to fight for sovereign and freedom like an old guard... Greets from Italy an Italian former mountain trooper Alpini 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Not far right... And surely not Neo-dem or Neo- con...

[@Thaddy62]

Watching these videos make me Happy, then Sad Because I come from an Italian Family. And learn how to cook from both grandparents. They are long gone and so are my Parents. Rarely buy Noodles or sauce or gravy, whatever you want to call it. Make it all by Hand like I was taught to do. Work is hard sometime, but the Reward is Molto bene

[@christianeaspacher9043]

Bellezze! E buonissimo!

Fantastico!

[@elisaastorino2881]

This looks delicious. My grandmother had a basket just like that and she made pasta shaped like those, but she was from Calabria and would have called them something different.

[@SethteviousSmoochie-Wall-mn6sh]

Terrific video! I do want to point out that if you don't have a su ciribu or gnocchi board at home, you can also use a sushi mat to make the ridges in the gnocchetti/malloreddus/cavatelli rigate pasta. Barring all of that, you can always turn over a fork and use that.

[@pastagrannies]

thank you for the suggestions 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
