Wow! Ada doesn't look like she is 81. I noticed what good posture she has - I wonder what was her line of work. The massive sfoglia is amazing, too. All of these nonnas make it look so easy!

@paulettoNYC2 жыл бұрын
She did look completely in charge and straight-backed as she was rolling out the dough. The news that she was a competitor was not surprising. Each dish I see brings me cravings but this dish in particular looks spectacular. Does Ada cook for visitors?
@giovannisantostasi96152 жыл бұрын
Yeah, she is a farmer, Italy was mostly a farmer culture in the past. Many of the recipes in Italy have a farmer's origin.

This is twice in the month that this brilliant woman has absolutely blown me away with her pasta artistry. She's an absolute marvel! I could watch video after video of her.
The flavor combination of a sharp aged cheese like Parmesan and a sweet spice like nutmeg is something that dates back at least to the cooking of the Italian renaissance.
@meredithheath52722 жыл бұрын
I had never heard of this combination! ( I put red peppers, and Hungarian Paprika in my tomato sauce, but, I eat less cheese and no meat.) I'm going to try this combination with nutmeg!
@andreesandahl3002 жыл бұрын
Yes, my green eyed Italian grandmother always put a little nutmeg in meatballs and a similar butternut squash ravioli filling.

This is the kind of perfectionism and attention to detail I saw in my mother and aunt and grandmother and great-aunts. The eggs mass produced are different from the ones your own chickens produce on a completely "clean" diet, both in size and albumin, so the amount of flour used will differ. One of my cousins moved to Switzerland. When his mother came to visit, she brought her own flour and eggs, mortadella, tomato passata, etc., but the tortellini still weren't perfect. Next time she brought the water for boiling them too. :) My husband always said he could never get used to what he called our "obsession" with perfection, but he has sure always loved the finished product.
@smamat792 жыл бұрын
Same thing said by my wife when I obsess over having ingredients from my hometown posted across the country while she'd be benefitting the most out of the obsession and agreeing later on!

I like how everything she does has a reason and she fully understands that reason, she doesn't do anything just because that’s how she was taught. I've never seen anyone with a collection of Mattarello and rolling pins before, I just have the three, a 100cm Mattarello, a traditional British rolling pin and a 60cm French.

I am an American who lived in Siena Italy for study one year. The food was so gloriously fresh and flavorful, and when I returned to the States, I had those fresh flavors still in my palate. Months later, I attended an Italian Festival in a neighborhood in Chicago, but sadly was so very disappointed in what I had to eat. There were a lot of starchy offerings like thick crust pizza, spaghetti, and a few types of sandwiches with thick slices of pastrami, but nothing fresh or particularly good.

Ms. Vicky, once again a great video with the dear soul Ms. Ada, we would have many variations to this recipe here in Appalachia, this most significant one would be the use of the pumpkin( our pasta is more simple also) & although we tend to like it more in a dessert ie: pie, pudding, etc... we opt for the squashes for supper, butternut, spaghetti, acorn, etc...it is very delicious though & our sausage can be nearly the same, but there are many varieties depending on availability, God Bless all, please stay safe
