Italian Grandma Makes Pasta e Fagioli - Beans 3 Ways

[@victoriajohnson3593]

I love how happy Gina looks when she talks about her father!! This made me cry! I love all of your videos!! God Bless you Gina!

[@barbnbirds]

I agree .Shes such a sweet person besides her talent for cooking.She is such a stress buster for me.I just love ❤️ it when Gina sings.

[@kathrynbraun2073]

You’re right-that’s her appeal, that’s her attraction! She’s authentic and real and really happy!

[@giselle282]

It made her emotional talking about her dad. So sweet.

[@TheNYLADYBUG]

Yes, I cried too when she talked about her father. She is so wonderful, I adore her. Her dad would be so proud of her! 💞💞💞💞

[@nigelprance2540]

Im an Irish boy who grew up on an Italian block in Queens, NY. You remind me of all my friends' mothers. They taught my mom how to make all the Italian classics. How I miss those good old days.

[@cindymcdonnell2119]

Every other block in Queens had a grandma cooking like this ! It was the best !

[@michaelsanfilippo7433]

OK, I swear I'll pay $100 for a big bowl of that right now. I love this lady.

[@annetteherrera2813]

You can feel her emotions talking about her father, so beautiful

[@ivanagoga1]

Love this woman because she radiates and spreads love through her cooking. As for the people who give her thumbs down, I’m 100% sure, grandma Gina couldn’t care less about them. I can hear her say, “It’s ok, some people like my cooking, some don’t, it’s ok. This the way I do it, some other people do it another way.” Grandma Ginna is unable to get angry to anyone, no matter what. You keep cooking your amazing dishes, grandma Ginna. I wish I’d meet and kiss your hands!

I truly believe some people just like to push button and make others feel bad, jerks.

This is what makes America great! Having immagrates from all over the world showing us their delicious food, recipes, traditions. Just wonderful. Thank you all. God bless

[@AMStationEngineer]

I cannot understand why this entire channel hasn't gone viral.

[@dtwiggy1]

AMStationEngineer I think I'm going to start sharing her on Twitter. Boris Becker liked 3 of my comments during AO so hey, maybe people will c them lolol

[@sarahma6265]

Mark say this recipe is no good🤬

[@hazelbrungard1623]

Why not an English translation? Yes, her accent is real, but many can't understand her including me.

[@heleneg525]

I love the fact that Gina doesn't use the latest and greatest gadgets. She doesn't have a $400 KitchenAid stand mixer; she uses a hand mixer. She uses regular kitchen bowls instead of the hoity-toity bowls that cooks on The Food Network use. Gina is so down to earth that she makes me feel more comfortable about my own cooking imperfections. She cooks like my Mom and Grandmom used to cook. Now, I only ever watch Gina; I have ceased watching anything on The Food Network or cooking shows on PBS. For me, it's Gina all the way! I wish she could adopt me!

[@mytedman1]

Everyone who loves to cook should have a Kitchen Aid mixer, and if family wrote to them they would most likely send her one. I laid mine away at the local department store; it must be 25 years old and no matter what new piece they make it will fit my mixer. That said, I have cooking utensils that are over 50+ years old; I toss them in the Salvation Army/Goodwill box then go to the garage and dig them out again. No offense meant.

[@verarich5426]

@@mytedman1 maybe she does not want one.

[@marcpellegrino7873]

I agree with Ms Giansante. I adore her and her cooking. So Earthy and comfy. And no fancy gadgets. I only worry about her using her chef’s knife in a manner where she moves the blade “ toward “ her hand holding the onion. One slip, and she’s off to the ER. But she is confident and precise in how she cuts the onion. Please be careful, Dear Gina!❤️Marco Pellegrino

[@footyfan101ful]

But she has a really cool tap!!

[@chrisd8795]

My own grandmother never had any fancy gadgets, most from that generation and back did not. Yet they cooked and survived, and the food tasted great, satisfied and nourished the body. Some modern gadgets are nice, but I could make it without them and still serve great meals. Gina cooks with love and that is hard to find today.

[@bronxgirltb]

Gina I just love your videos. I am a nurse working in Saudi Arabia. I am from New York. When you were talking about your parents I was crying. I miss my parents and think about them all the time ...

[@deewilson888]

I hope this family understands just how blessed they are to have this woman in their family. She brings comfort and warmth to all her videos. ❤

[@woodenbeast9337]

This lady is an online treasure

[@pizzakangaroo1085]

this lady is so precious my nana died and we never got her on film but this person has the same spirit and face

[@sherstone]

Who knew a cooking video could make me cry. Bless her sweet heart.

[@rowellster]

Gina - God bless you, and the memory of your papa and mama. With your reminiscing and tears, you remind us that we never stop missing our parents - or any loved ones - once they have passed on. They are still with us every day. Love is forever.

[@JustAFlyover]

The story about your happy father, eating the cannelini soup with bread and wine....such a sweet memory for you to share Gina!

[@barbarabonnette2705]

The sweet thing is, that she does this the way her mother taught her, and the way her grandmother taught her mother. Simply beautiful traditions handed down.....you are a joy!

[@hughtiner7132]

She should be on Food Network!!! She is so beautiful and genuine!!! Keep going Gina!!!

[@petesacco3255]

Her speaking of her father brought tears to my eyes, love this woman

[@TheCmalloy]

Me too Pete, me too.

[@socogirl1980]

I was crying like a baby when Nonna Gina was describing her Father eating his favorite dish 💕 Such sweet memories. I bet she’s full of wonderful stories. All of these dishes look so healthy and yummy 😋 I wish I had a Grandma I could ask to make me Pasta Fazool, what a blessing 💕

[@beyondhope7]

I just found these videos a few days ago and have watched several. In this one Gina says “Mangia Mangia”...And I got immediately teary-eyed as I thought of my own Italian grandma and how she used to say that as we would sit down to eat together at her table. All of these amazing recipes are ones that we have prepared for years in my own family. I so appreciate your videos...they bring back memories of my own dear Grandma who I know waits for me in heaven 💜

[@mariehud7382]

I am so happy her family is recording her...she is a positive and a wonderful personality..

[@mrlibyanb7855]

When she talked about her late father she got emotional and she made us get emotional too even though we don’t know her dad! God bless her soul

[@gladysmena-bernal6443]

Yes!

[@nunyabizness3890]

At 23:35, "I was a little girl. I remember. He was a happy man." I was crying and laughing and singing with you. How beautiful it is to remember our beloved parents and grandparents, especially those memories from so long ago. A bowl of warm beans with garlic, oil, and bread... and a song of love to go with it. You have a beautiful soul, Grandma Gina. Thank you for telling that story.

[@narir6448]

That story also brought me to happy tears. Watching her is so calming. Definitely a sign of a beautiful soul.

[@cayugafeather7772]

She is an Angel here on Earth, to bring comfort to us all with her recipes and caring.

[@happy1831]

Thank you Gina’s daughter, son in law and family for the gift 💝 of your beautiful mother, who is now Grama Gina to our planet! I feel her love and cook with a prayer always to the holy souls, her beloved parents and family. An Angel living in the midst of a broken world giving us love, hope, music, memories and a happy tummy! Love you, sweet Grama Gina ❤️🎶🙏🏻🦒

[@louisedole7179]

The bowl of soup that she prepared just for her father and the memory that Gina shared about her father touched me and brought tears to my eyes, . God Bless this lovely lady.

[@sulyrosales808]

I love her story about her father. It really touched my heart. Hard working man comes home hungry takes unfinished bean soup, seasons it up and his own way, grabs some crusty stale bread and digs right in. Yeah I see how he managed to be happy, he was a practical man.

[@nickd5943]

Gina you say God bless at the end of some of your videos. I want to tell you a little secret, God blesses us when we get to see you cook, talk and sing. I find watching you relaxing and joyful. I think that is a blessing.Thank you. I pray that God blesses you and your family too.

[@mmrknez]

She's awesome

[@mrlibyanb7855]

Such a beautiful woman You can feel how kind she is

[@1320trail]

Signora Gina, I love your videos. I like your recipes but I love listening to stories about your family, your mamma, your papa, the way things were when you were a girl, your garden, keeping healthy and happy, moving and being busy! You are a blessing to me. Dear Heavenly Father, bless our Gina with a long, healthy, happy life!

[@Gracekell]

Cara signora Gina, mi sono commosso insieme a te nel ricordare i tuoi genitori. Ho anche dei bei ricordi dei miei, soprattutto di mio nonno Francesco, che mangiava anche i faggioli con il pane e amava cantare Un grande abbraccio per te, Grazie per aiutarmi a ricordare le deliziose ricette di famiglia.

[@maryanneevans9563]

I love it when Gina says "It's good". I could watch her all day.

To the family members (especially the grandchildren) my hope is they know what a treasure they still have on this earth with them ... i just found Ginas posts, and I'm 66 and reminds how i miss my parents when she talks about her parents. Im Sicilian and sad i never learned to speak much sicilian. Anyway i ramble . GINA MAKES ME HAPPY WATCHING HER COOK THE FOODS I DO. THANK YOU

Dearest Gina, I made this today. My husband said it was the best he ever had. He did not even add pepper and said it was perfect the way it was. I did not have any home canned tomatoes, so I used canned crushed tomatoes. Thank you again for teaching me how to cook Italian food like a pro. Love to you all from North Carolina!

Seeing nonna Gina reminiscing about her Pa almost made me cry... Ti amo nonna Gina!

Hi Gina, my name is Lisa Giansanti. I am very proud of my Italian heritage. You are the most beautiful Italian lady I know. You bring back my memories of my grandmother and grandfather, family gatherings and most of all the incredible food we experienced, especially during the holidays and Sunday dinners. I enjoy listening to you and watching your " Old School " way of cooking and the enjoyment you get out of it. I can see the love in your heart ❤️ especially when you speak of your father and mother, singing a beautiful Italian song with precious tears streaming from your eyes. You make me cry. The love you share is amazing. I hope you continue on your awesome journey on this KZbin channel. I look forward to seeing what the next Italian meal will be. I truly love you and whoever is video recording you, I think it's your son or grandson, tell him he's doing a great job. May God Bless you and yours as you bless me. All my Love 💓 Lisa.

Gina is the best! She made me feel better. I live in NY and the Italians here pronounce it Pasta Fazule. Today, while I was with my client, her daughter took out a container from the freezer for her mother to eat and it said Pasta Fagioli. I told my client, your daughter took out some Pasta Fagioli for you for dinner. I pronounced it like Gina did and I was quickly reprimanded... Pasta Fazule!! Now I hear a REAL ITALIAN SAY IT CORRECTLY so guess what? I am saying it the way Gina says it! HAHAHA! I can't wait to play this video for her! 😜 It is so nice to see Gina reminisce about her poppa and momma. She made me cry! Thank you Gina! Looks delicious and the way you teach, is heartwarming. You are a blessing to your family! ❤️

[@dhurley8522]

You can see and feel the love she had for her father, they way she recalls the loving memories of her dad’s favorite dish🇮🇹❤️ Such precious stories! Thank you for sharing Gina 🙏🏻🇮🇹❤️ So much love and emotions... It’s ok to cry Gina, we love you. Speak his name and he lives again! ❤️

[@lillybellep8956]

Made this today and my husband and I loved it! Soooooooo good. I can't get over the flavor and no beef or chicken stock is used. Thank you!. I will make this again and serve my husband the beans a little olive oil and hot pepper flakes with homemade bread and a glass of wine in honor of you father, Gina. We too love you and your family stories and especially when you sing. I send big hugs and love to you and your family for sharing your wonderful dishes with all of us. I always say if you want Italian food that tastes good go directly to the Italians for the right way to make it. You have never let me down. My last name is Pasquini by marriage so I try to make food that lives up to the name. There are no family recipies passed down as my husband's mother was Irish. So you are my stand in mother in law. I am 71 yrs. old and I have many recipies to pass to my sons now. I have one son who makes his own Pasta and 2 who make woderful bread.

As a mountain girl from the USA - I always soak my beans the night before and then rinse them. I use the water from the rinsed beans and put out in my garden. It is a good starch and protein for my plants and nutrients to nourish.

Thank you for sharing the love.

Gina, watching you cook reminds me of my wonderful Italian grandmother and it melts my heart. My grandmother spent most of her life cooking for us. I laugh out loud when you add salt, just like my grandmother 2 tablespoons is more like 4 tablespoons. She loved salt. God bless you and thank you for teaching us how to cook authentic Italian food, like my grandmother did.
