Italian Grandma Makes Gnocchi

[@definitelyjulia]

I don't know why but I'm finding watching Nona Gina cooking so comforting during this time. God bless her and her family for putting together these videos.

[@catibree1]

Oh you wonderful lady. You love everybody, but we all love you too, Gina.. God Bless you and thank you for making us happy with your beautiful food.

[@gemahoeksema6798]

Forget fancy chefs and tv shows, if you really wanna learn how to cook you gotta watch grandma’s channels like this one! Stay safe!!! ♥️♥️😍

[@chriss1686]

What a precious gift she is.

[@lydiamashcka4362]

People who ever give Gina a thumbs down have no heart, no brains and no Grandma Like this amazing and wonderful lady, she is a blessing from God Almighty for all the world to love.

[@azucenaa1762]

Lydia Mashcka I agree with you. Gina is real, not those made up cooks that cannot cook an egg unless they have a book close by, lol. Those who give her a thumbs down are the ones that probably grew up on frozen dinners.

[@lindeeabernathy790]

She is a wonderful lady💗

[@samarasamara6477]

Very true in fact..Unfortunatel, some people did not learn how to say something nice and they enjoy being rude .. Love you granma Gina ..Keep it up and lots of love..Regards from Tunisia 🌺🌹🥀🌷

[@feelinggamer999]

The one who thumbs down are insecure bcoz they are young but cannot even cook, unlike to lovely grandma gina inspite of her age she still.can cook like a chef.. 😘

[@ceecee7879]

Good Lord, that kitchen must smell like heaven! “Pesta” and the “salsa” 😍 God protect and watch over our Gina and family ❤️

Gina, I made your gnocchi. It was fantastic with the the cheese in it!

[@carybrown6919]

Truly a privilege to learn from such a gracious chef, fantastic teacher, and wonderful person! Thank you for your heart felt contributions Gina, and we are sending much love in return.

[@PaullaWells]

I can see you have lost sleep. Is your family ok? Gina, you are such a sweet person and my heart just breaks for your heart being so worried. May you be blessed with peace, serenity and joy. God bless you and your family here and abroad.

[@ml9760]

Gina - you express so genuinely. “We gotta listen, we gotta stay inside.” Your a wonderful inspiration for all of us to have hope. Your daughter and son-in-law are wonderful for taking you into there home for protection.

[@ronanewell2502]

Wonderful and delicious food.❤

[@12and7baskets]

Anybody who gave a thumbs down this amazingly precious, loving, woman who took time out of her day to make a video teaching you some traditional Italiano cuisine, ought to be ashamed of themselves God Bless you Nonna Gina

[@ninasylvester54]

Agreed Joey

[@teresahudson8003]

Amen what is wrong with people ?? She is a joy in every way!

[@Cweets]

The people that gave thumbs down are the name people that pronounce gnocchi Giyoki

[@bakingwithdimi1324]

Agreed Joe

[@klmain1]

I know - I feel so grateful to learn from her!

[@emmathegreat1726]

This is such an uplifting video; I wish more people could be like her. It seems that everyone is sort of going crazy nowadays, when really people just need to relax and eat some good Italian food.

[@clionamm]

'Until they dance on the water'...what a lovely way to say it...my heart. Hope you are all keeping well and safe over there, and thanks for doing another great video. Lots of love from Ireland x

[@patriciabennett1819]

Prayers for everyone all over the world. Yes for Italy too. May God guid is all. Gratitude for those on frontline too.

[@s.r.r.]

Wonderful lady. I feel like I'm her grand daughter watching her teach me to cook. She is so lovely.

[@eternalfriss0n]

I just want to listen to you say "pecorino romano" on loop! Italian is so beautiful...

[@marygabaree622]

Ms. Gina... I love your channel. You remind me of my Grandma. The way you talk especially. I loved her so much. She used to cook like you. I wish now that I had spent more time w/ her. Maybe learned Italian... but I was too young. I didn’t realize time was limited. When I watch your videos it brings me back in time to a very happy place. My loving Grandma. She would absolutely ADORE you... I know it.😊 Take care & stay well.

[@nf2885]

Stay safe bella Gina. We your fans love you. I’m glad you’re with your daughter. 😘❤️🙋🏻🙏

[@mamaoft1767]

I was having so much anxiety last night with everything going on. Listening to her talk was so relaxing to me! I was able to fall asleep with a smile on my face after watching this! Thank you so much! God bless you and protect you and your whole family! 🙏❤️

[@janlovell809]

How could anyone give you a thumbs down? Such love! Keep cookin Mama Gina.

[@giannigreco9505]

[@DreamDrift2024]

Gina, you make me feel at home and like a good Nona you make me feel that everything will be alright! I love gnocchi ♥️ thank you for the recipe and I hope you enjoy this time with your family, you are so special! ♥️

[@theantiquelittlegirl5891]

Now I know why my gnocchi was a failure! Thank you for helping us through this hard time. Stay well, dear Grandma Gina.

[@sandyhamen5841]

Made these today - incredible! So light, fluffy and flavorful. If you want to learn to cook literally anything you definitely need to learn from a grandma

[@zulvallejo5433]

I demand to know who the people are that dared to dislike this golden women’s video!

[@gjmiller138]

there are just nasty bored people who have nothing better to do.

[@yacinemadaci4754]

Sometimes, I notice that I accidentaly disliked my favorite videos. It happens when you have thumbs too big for your smartphone...

[@davidholliday6123]

Gina, I just watched this episode (and I've watched others). You don't know what a wonderful job you do, not only with your cooking, but with your messages about life. You're covid message is brilliant. Find something you love to do while we get through this. Thank you from a loyal fan.

[@WorkHardBeNice]

Please take care of Nonna Gina. She's a national treasure!

[@anglophonesdekhenchela8221]

Gina! One of my favourite cook! So nice and big personality I like your singing, so lively A big surprise hidden away from the large crowd!

[@Flaneurgr]

I was just looking for a gnocchi recipe and came across the page of grandma Gina.Such an adorable woman!Thank you for sharing with us your wisdom in cooking,reminding to all of us that preparing food with love is essential.The breaking of her voice when giving advice about covid in italian just made me cry too😪You are everyone's grandma nonna Gina.Stay safe,we love you!🥰un grande abbraccio da un greco che vive in Germania. Il sud Italia è così simile al mio paese🙂. Amo l'Italia🇮🇹🥰🥰

[@midna8173]

Dear Gina, greetings from Tuscany. Even though I live in Italy and I already know the majority of your recipes, I love watching your videos since you're such a sweet person and you remind me of my grandma. Probably that's why watching you cook makes me feel so peaceful. Our Country is bleeding now, but hopefully we'll make it through and come out of this stronger! Be careful (Riguardati)! Un abbraccione!

[@Mirol66B]

Nonna Gina you spread joy to everyone watching you ..you’re such a blessing a good believer .pray for us

[@cortright3669]

I am so glad you are not alone Grandma.

[@Harphoney]

I love you nonna Gina, you are truly a gem! Now I’m hungry on my way to work lol. Hugs from Saskatchewan Canada

[@godfirst4964]

May God bless you and keep you and your family safe.

[@pattysue5523]

Dear Gina, I appreciate the planning, time and effort it must take to create your videos. I learn so much from you and I want to thank you for your stories, songs, recipes and wisdom. Thank you for your reassurance during this uncertain time.

[@FutureNFLHOF]

I’ve stumbled upon Grandma Gina’s channel as a gnocchi researcher in search of the perfect gnocchi to impress a girl and I have never felt so supported in any journey before. Grandma Gina, I hope you know how far you reach.

[@FutureNFLHOF]

Update; the girl has broken her ankle and goes into surgery first thing tomorrow morning. I will now be making the gnocchi and freezing it in a care package with other items deemed suitable for such a situation. Grandma Gina, if you could add a few kind words for a very overwhelmed young lady I would be very grateful!

[@sherryandrade1582]

Me too!!

[@colfol231]

I need to know how this panned out?!

[@johnklein233]

There are lot of "chefs" making Italian food on KZbin, but Grandma Gina is now my go to channel for those recipes. Her son-in-law is so lucky, she is awesome. I feel like she is my own Grandma teaching me how to cook way out here in California, but from my home state of New Jersey. What a sweet woman! Thanks for the recipes, I'm happy to see you have a cookbook out now too.

[@nonyabiznus5416]

Thank you so very much for the videos you make. For me, watching you brings back sweet memories of my Grandmother and my Mother, both now gone. Both of their mannerisms were a lot like yours. I miss them both terribly and watching and listening to you is very comforting. Stay safe and God bless.

[@sheilakuri8387]

There’s absolutely nothing I don’t love about watching Gina make good homemade food. Thank you.

[@tumblebugspace]

I’m not a little kid anymore, but I miss my Grandma and the food she prepared. Thank you, Gina!

[@sandragayk6714]

Dear Grandma Gina, I wish you were my grandma! I love watching you and learning from you. I had 2 grandmas, but they are both gone now and I miss them. So, I will adopt you! Love Sandy

[@TheAngelaDuke]

I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to find Gina on KZbin. My Italian mother (born in 1929 in Maddaloni, Italy) passed away in the beginning of January this year. She cooked EXACTLY like Gina!!! Watching Gina is bringing back the best memories watching my Mom cook. She used all the same recipes and techniques as Gina. Thank you for taking the time to post all your Grandma's cooking lessons! Ciao e grazie mille!! Angela

[@goldengirl1168]

I’m glad you are all together and taking care each other. ❤️🙏

[@b0cipapa]

I felt depressed, due to the lockdown, and loss of work thanks to the virus. But I have to say for 34:29 minutes it felt like my soul was a little bit lifted and got to enjoy myself. Thank you, and God bless.

[@thisyearswinner]

I love the way you explain everything in detailed description. You explain everything in detail and why you do what you’re doing.

[@brendamanley3019]

Being in quarantine with an Italian Grammy is equivalent to living the best life EVER!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ stay safe!

[@zoegirl2948]

You can sense her pain and anguish because of the state of the world battling a deadly virus. I salute you in carrying out a brilliant video inspite of your heartache for your beloved country. Warm hugs and stay strong grandma Gina and high five to the videographer. The sun will shine again on your beloved country.

[@cathymartinez6993]

Omg! Zoe Girl, I thought the same thing. The video was heartwarming and sad at the same time. I was thinking of her family and friends in Italy. Prayers. God Bless. Stay safe

[@austintxgalfromcali8801]

My mother was from Cosenza, Italy and my father from Foggia, Italy. We made gnoochi when I was a young girl. We didn't use the fork or gnoochi board, just a thumbprint in the middle. That was my job. I love to cook and have so many fond memories growing up in an Italian family. I decided to try Gina's recipe yesterday and the added the cheese, which was a very good brand, did not add much to the flavor for me. I froze most of them since it is only me. I was in Roma in October 2019 and there was a restaurant where the chef was making gnoochi in an open window so you could watch. He used a gnoochi board then place them in a sieve that was in a bowl of flour and semolina mixture, cover them then shake off the access then place on a large board to prepare for cooking in the restaurant. Food is love and with shelter-in-place my outside deep freeze is packed since I take up my days cooking. Tomorrow is homemade fettuccine. Thank you Gina. your family is lucky to have you.

[@Jennifr1966]

My mother is 98. Both her parents came to America from Italy as teens. Her mother was from Sicily; her father, Rome. Mom and I are watching this together. It is so heart- warming observing Mom watching Gina with such fascination. Her mother used to make this for a family of 10! Mom saw Gina and said, "oh! She even has the wooden board!" I took a quick picture. I wish I could share her expression with all of you!

[@BuonAPetitti]

God Bless you and your mom. Thank you for watching. You can share a photo with me on Instagram @buonapetitti

I am so glad you are doing well, please take care of your self and your family, I am praying for everyone in the world. Bless you

[@lorrainefontana6582]

I could watch her videos all day. love watching her hands as she lovingly prepares her dough and all her meals. She reminds me so much of my mom and grandma. God bless her!

[@christinebailey9935]

Please take care during this COVID time. You are so important to so many people!

[@docrock8415]

When I was a boy, I would occasionally come home from school and notice a sheet on the bed full of gnocchi's that my mother made. I knew supper was going to be great. It was always a treat. She never used cheese while making them, but that does sound tasty. Gina, your message at the end of the video made my eyes water a bit. Glad you are with your daughter and son-in-law. Be safe. Ciao.

[@JLNeis]

This is the way to do what I call your regular Italian cooking. I call it that because it's not like these restaurants serve, $20.00 dish of spaghetti, I dont think so, give me what I call plain Italian home cooking. This is why Gina's cooking is so good, no gadgets, no fooling around, just good HOME cooking. This is the best !!!

I've made gnocchi with my Nonna many times..This brings back many good memories of my Nonna.. It make me smile because my Nonna never measured it was always a little of this a little of that..As I got older I measured the ingredients so I would know..We always ate the gnocchi with burnt butter and cheese..💕

[@georgiapines7906]

Dear Miss Gina, Thank you for another wonderful recipe! May God bless and keep you always! You are a treasure, and we love you! ❤🍝😘

[@cortright3669]

Hi Grandma. I pray that you and your whole family are well. Take care and stay safe and well. 🥰

[@befuddled2010]

My initial thoughts and feelings exactly. In this time when our elders are deemed by some to be inexplicably and criminally (imo) considered expendable, I cannot think of a better example of why such dark and fatalistic thinking should be utterly and totally rejected than this vibrant and loving woman. Our elders are the repository of the knowledge that will sustain us into an uncertain future. Bless you Gina and the same to your family. Hope you are staying safe and healthy.

[@thehackerknownas4chann]

Her family is very lucky to have her. I can imagine how she spoils her grandkids. Also, who better to be quarantined with than nonna Gina. Respect from Greece.

You can hear the fear and sadness at the end. What we’re all feeling. How important are these videos to us now at this time? Invaluable 😘

[@riverraisin1]

Thank you for validating my pronunciation of gnocchi. I hear people pronounce it 'NO-CHEE" or "NO-KEE", but my Italian family has always pronounced it the way you do. To the family of Grandma Gina - My Italian ancestors are gone now, but watching your grandma takes me right back to those days when listening to a strong Italian accent was a normal part of my days growing up. Please appreciate and cherish the treasure you have in your life. And thank you for sharing her with us.😊

[@ChieftuckabuckawaysWife]

Hi Grandma Gina!! Love watching you make all sorts of yummy stuff!! My husband watches too and he enjoys that you sing while waiting for the next steps. Everyone has gifts and yours are bringing joy, cooking, baking and singing. We don't understand the words but as he says when you have such joy in your heart who needs translations? You are singing to God and we get to listen . Thank you Grandma Gina!!! ❤❤

I adore how she adds the southern Italian 'ah' at the end of everything. I'm of Swedish & Irish descent, but have always loved Italian culture and cuisine, and Nonna Gina makes me feel like if I showed up at random she would be so very happy to make me a feast from scratch, just because that's her passion.

[@jeannetteopperman5981]

The way she says the gnocchi needs to dance in the water is so descriptive! Absolutely LOVE the videos and recipes but love her more!!!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Watching you was quite nostalgic. I'm of Armenian heritage, and I'm 63 this year. All of my family elders are passed. My grandmother was a wonderful cook--and our food memories are so evocative. Thank you for sharing your Italian recipes. My grandmother had no recipes, and if she had, they would have been written in Armenian. I think that I got my cooking talent from her and my mom (which everyone in my life appreciates!). Making these videos makes the recipes and techniques accessible--in perpetuity. I've not made your recipe for homemade gnocchi, but made another. We don't eat that much gnocchi, but I wanted to try making it. It is easy and the end result is delicious. Nothing tastes better than homemade anything. The dish this was featured in was a one pot gnocchi with italian sausage, cream, spinach and garlie with mozzarella. Our family really enjoys it. Thank you for sharing your recipes and techniques.

[@leedefreitas4647]

Thank you so much for this video. It was perfect! I’m so glad that you’re safe in the company of your family! Saúde Gina.

You can tell she has a slight disdain for the ¨Pecorino¨ but she does it for the sake of her son-in-law. Same thing with the tomato sauce. I’m looking forward to making this and watching more video’s of her.

Thank you, Gina. My grandparents came from Avezzano, Italy. They brought a lot of recipes with them also.I remember as a little girl, watching my grandmother making homemade ravioli on the dining room table.
