This is exactly the type of pasta dish we eat every Sunday in Argentina: “Ravioles al tuco”. Same prep for the sauce. Same tray for making the ravioli (except that most people buy them in fresh pasta joints). Basically my grandma’s house any Sunday.

[@massimopalomba5009]

Los Jenoveses portaron ravioli en medio el mundo....😉

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

There was one part where she mentions the word tuccu (I assume she refering to the tomato sauce like that in the Ligurian language). My guess is that is how in Argentina we got the word tuco. Out of any region in Italy, I feel like culinary-wise, Ligurian dishes are more common in Argentina, like pascualina (torta pasqualina), fainá (farinata), fugazza (focaccia), although pesto genovese ain't so common. Even our football club of Boca Juniors was founded by Genoese people, and is the club is nicknamed the xeneizes, from the Ligurian language.

[@flarican64]

Que suerte tienes vos...LOL You are lucky, this dish looks amazing! Lots of prep but I am sure it is worth itl. Saludos de NYC

[@pliny8308]

What I would give to eat my mamma's ravioli alla genovese again. She was the best cook in our whole large extended family, so every Christmas and Easter she would make hundreds and hundreds of them, along with the sauce. She would never use the pasta machine, though; swore it changed the texture of the dough, so she only used a long, thin rolling pin my father made for her and a huge pasta rolling board. It would take two days to make the ravioli and the sauce ahead of time. She never put borage in the filling because she found it too bitter; usually she used escarole, which I find actually less bitter than spinach. The finished filling doesn't taste bitter at all. Also, our tomato sauce is different in that we shred the meat after it is cooked, or if pressed, use something like a chopped round steak, and we use more of the "odori". I still make them for Christmas Day and Easter for our smaller family, and it is indeed a labor of love. For years I would measure what she was about to add so I could write it down to use when she was gone. They're still not quite the same, though. She had magic hands for pasta, dessert dough, all the hard things. Her ravioli dough was so thin it was almost transparent, yet they never broke in the boiling water. When she was dying, my father's brother, who owned a very successful restaurant, made them, and then nervously asked her if they were good She said: Insomma, they taste good, but too many broke in the water :)

[@damianrhea8875]

Yep. I would separate this dish in 4 days - sauce, filling, pasta and ravioli, then assembling. Then I would be too tired to eat it myself and watch others devour it...

[@Ardoxsho]

@@damianrhea8875 This was traditionally made for All Saints' Day, and we always started the day before. The meat from the sauce would make up the filling. Three or four women would make this together for the extended family. Now people make the filling separately, because meat is cheap and easy to find. Needless to say, because meat was so rare in Liguria, the eggs, cheese, borage, and even bread soaked in milk all served to bring up the filling to a suitable quantity.

[@pastagrannies]

ah, All Saints Day, not Christmas. Thank you. And yes, extended families are great for pasta making! best wishes, Vicky

I have Asian grandparents. Me, being Filipino. I don’t know how, but how can grandparents cook so good? My paternal grandma can make fish dishes so well and my maternal grandmother make the best meat dishes! Grandmas all over the world are the same! My mom is making a recipe book for me and my sister, since our grandma’s recipes are only word of mouth and by memory. Almost all of the recipes have “to taste” in it, or “about”. No actual measurements. Lol. 😄

[@stevelogan5475]

Ms. Vicky, Angela's recipe looks delicious & I may be wrong,but I would reckon they buy their food from small grocers like pork stores, cheese shops, etc... in this area & in Appalchia we do like bitter greens, but we would have to grow escarole, we use dandelion greens which are plentiful & wild as they grow everywhere, we can use animals that are raised & bred for the meat on the farms, hogs, cows, etc..., God bless everyone, btw is tomato concentrate the same as tomato paste ?, we use the paste here

[@souadghazal2533]

Love dandelion..... so good when sautéed in olive oil and some chopped onions and garlic with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Tomato paste is much thicker and more flavorful then concentrate, and you get more color with the paste only when you add it before the liquids.

[@stevelogan5475]

@@souadghazal2533 my friend, thank you for the info on the tomato paste/concentrate & the compliment on the dandelion greens, you & yours have a great weekend

[@stevelogan5475]

Ty again my friend

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Steve I suspect that the greens will vary - especially if cooks can forage for them and dandelion will definitely be one herb to pick. It is quite bitter to use in this filling, I think. Small food shops still survive in Italy I am pleased to say! 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

[@stevelogan5475]

@@pastagranniesMs. Vicky, I guess here we are accustomed to dandelion greens so they are not to bitter for us, also we will use greens called polk( not as bitter as dandelion greens), & they grow along farm fence lines & especially around the fence posts, we make a dish called polk salat( is spelled salat) which is an Appalachian salad , but is very good , but still has some bitter bite. btw, we & you all can eat the yellow flower from the dandelion greens, just give a quick rinse, we rinse/soak the greens 4 to 5 times to clean them good & get rid of any dirt/grit, hope that helps you all & God bless you all.

[@souadghazal2533]

Love that red blitzer from the 70s. Mother used to have one in beige, and I found one a couple of years ago at a second hand store. Don't think they are available in the US. I like this slightly newer model better with a push down button to take out the blade, versus the older models that came with a separate tool to do that. And that ravioli mold is so handy to speed up the process.

[@pastagrannies]

yes, my mother had the beige one too with the clip thing to remove the blade. It was better for smaller quantities than the food processors of today. best wishes, Vicky

[@leodoro8877]

That was beautiful !

[@miyounova]

It reminds me of the ravioli we make in Nice. It also takes forever because we use the stew (which itself takes at least 12h, but better if 24) in the stuffing, along with a sort of chard and parmesan.

[@Getpojke]

Beautiful, what a dish! I'll have to give that a go sometime soon, though I've no borage here so will have to wait & grow it again next year. {Her grandson is a lucky kid getting to tuck into that.] I have one of those little ravioli plates, they're fun for making really small ones; though fiddly so I tend to make by hand. I like having fun making ravioli, two of the most successful so far have been a beef stroganoff I made for myself as its one of my favourite meals & some breaded [with Parmesan cheese in the crumbs] Philadelphia cheese-steak ones that were fried for an American chum who visited. All a bit of fun. Thanks as always to you, your team & the nonnas who make it all possible.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I never did get the hang of that kind of ravioli mold. I always ended up with either burst ravioli while cooking or having the filling ooze out before boiling. I now just use a rilled pastry cutter and do them freehand. I have grown borage and sorrel for the last two years in my deck container garden. They are easy to grow and taste wonderful, although I admit I’ve never added them to ravioli filling - until now. I am going to make something similar this weekend, albeit a little less extravagant. Good luck with your cooking adventures! I just made beef stroganoff last night, based on my late mom’s recipe.

[@Getpojke]

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 Aye that mould is tricky to get right, you have to apply a lot of pressure to it or they just bust open. I much prefer making by hand too. I used to grow all sorts in the garden, but have been pretty lax this year. Borrage has that lovely fresh taste without adding a lot of water to the dish. I do like sorrel too. So much easier to grow than watercress & with a much nicer flavour. I love it in little savoury tarts. Oh lucky you, I love beef stroganoff with big buttery pappardelle ribbons. So good. I try not to make it too often as I want to keep it as a treat. Sounds like we both like playing with recipes, hope you continue to do so. I find it fun to pick a meal or a favourite then see what I can do to take it up a level or two. [Though a humble dish I think I make the best Macaroni & Cheese ever... 😁] Hope your version of the Pasta Grannies dish comes out good & tasty.🍴

[@pastagrannies]

hi James and Pink Monkey Bird, curiously I've not seen sorrel used in Italian cooking. I think cooks use the greens they like and/or can forage for the filling. I haven't had a beef stroganoff in years, must dust off a recipe... best wishes, Vicky

I would hate to go to all that work and either have it be too thick or too thin. Thanks. PS I’m completely addicted to pasta grannies! I watch it with my little granddaughter!❤️

[@michaelquinn3878]

The setting depends on the machine...the Imperia machine has a finer choice of settings and can go thinner, the Atlas machine offers a couple less settings. I have both machines! Regardless, I like mine thin, and go to the last notch, but Italians like the pasta thicker...if you go to the second or third setting from the finest, you will be fine.
