What a lovely happy lady. I love how they make something so special by keeping it simple but investing plenty of time.

We call them cappelletti and they are equally labor intensive as they are delicious. Lambrusco, too. Her farm and family are blessed. Thanks for another great episode.

[@alliesmom2946]

Talking about washing dishes before bed made me chuckle. When I was a younger girl my sister and I used to have to clean up and wash the dishes after supper. Shortly after we would start, my sister always had the need to excuse herself to use the restroom. And she mysteriously never returned to the kitchen until I was all done with the work: every night. I joked with her as we became adults that she had the most regular constitution of anyone I know!

[@mashenkachernikova4674]

This made me laught so much! When I was little and my cousin and I went to the village for a few weeks, my granny made us water her flowers with huge buckets of water. They were so heavy and I was so skinny, that I was excusing myself to go to the bathroom as well :))). I believed it was a very unnecessary job😂

[@dee_dee_place]

This reminded me of a comment my Father once made. He & Mom were friends with another married couple & when dishwashers came out the Husband of that couple bought one for his Wife. He asked my Father, "When are you buying a dishwasher for your Wife?" My Father replied, "My Wife already has 3 dishwashers (us girls). Why does she need another one?" BTW- My oldest Sister always washed the dishes in cold water until our Mom finally told her she was useless & excused her from that chore. My middle Sister & I got stuck with washing the dishes after that.

This looks absolutely amazing! I have made ravioli and tortellini multiple times, but it is something that should be done by more then one person. Making it as a team, chatting and bonding over creating it something so wonderful, that it should be shared. Doing it alone makes me sad (and last time my husband said he had an emergency gutter-clean to avoid it).

Well, they're certainly neatly made! Curious that they eat them in wine... Is the big manor deserted now? It looks like the local noble's family hasn't been there in a while.

[@pastagrannies]

Personally I think the wine can stay in a glass, and I wondered if it originates from a time when the meat stock wasn't that flavoursome and needed a bit of perking up. That, or farmers wanted more wine than would fit in the glass! best wishes, Vicky

I don’t eat meat either, but I make similar egg pasta filled with a cheese and vegetable filling that I cook in homemade vegetable stock. It’s really good! I’m nowhere near as good as either of the ladies shown here, but my family seems happy enough with them. I’m not sure what filling would be good if you are vegan though, sorry.

[@DerAdler82]

Hey Vicky, congrats on reaching 1Mio subscribers! A milestone you've definitely well deserved. Regarding the video, I'd like to point out a small mistake (or mispronunciation) at 0:58: the "Marubini" are the local Casteldidone version of "Tortellini", *NOT* "Tortelli".😜

[@pastagrannies]

Thank you! And thank you for the correction; I equated them to a type of tortelli because marubini are about twice the size of tortellini, and the filling is different (with the addition of stracotto)? 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

[@DerAdler82]

@@pastagrannies You're really welcome, Vicky! Traditionally "Tortelli" are not served with broth but possibly with a sauce; when server with broth they're usually called "Tortellini". Of course, throughout provinces and regions of Italy, there're different versions with several names for both, but - rather than the size or the filling - this is the main discriminant. When served with broth, the pasta name is usually accompanied by "in brodo" (e.g. "Tortellini in brodo", "Cappelletti in brodo"), although for some local versions (such as "Marubini" or "Anolini") this wording is kinda superfluous as they're only served with broth. That said, as you've probably find out over the years of traveling around Italy and discovering the countless varieties of local pasta, there are no general rules that always apply everywhere. 😄 PS: also for "Anolini" (a type of stuffed pasta typical of the provinces of Piacenza and Parma) the filling is made using "stracotto".

First time seeing pasta made with sunflower oil i bet with olive oil it would be nice too

[@pastagrannies]

with the price of olive oil these days, more cooks are using cheaper alternatives. If you have decent evoo, feel free to use it! best wishes, Vicky

[@christineb8148]

Hi Vicky! Wonderful as always! I have a question but if it's too specific, I understand! In the part of the US where i live, the fresh sausage called "Italian sausage" always has fennel seeds in it (I think because of the southern Italians who emigrated to this area). However, I know that there are a variety of fresh sausages made across all the regions of Italy, and the seasoning would be different. If I know the name of the specific type here, you can sometimes order them at Italian butcher shops. Would there be a more specific type of fresh sausage used in the recipe in this video? I know the mortadella would have a more nutmeg profile (and she added clove and nutmeg to the pot) so I wouldn't want to throw off the overall flavor of the dish with the wrong salchiccia fresca if possible.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Christine, no it's not a too specific question. I asked about the seasoning and Eugenia says it's just salt and a little black pepper, nothing else. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

Amazing woman!

[@donaldist7321]

interesting contrast between the strong-tasting sauce and the elegant filling! Must try this. Grana padano is simply parmesan from outside the Parma region

[@FROBcom]

Not really, very similar yes but not quite the same. Grana contains semi-skimmed milk (decreamed milk) exclusively and so the taste is softer. Even compared to an equally mature Parmigiano one can clearly notice it has more of a delicate taste

[@user-ei6fn7qr4d]

It's not actually also i would recommend not confusing parmesan for Parmigiano Reggiano cause parmesan has been tradenarked by kraft and is used for cheeses that arent actually the original Parmigiano Reggiano. That said not only the land the cows and the way of producing it and strict regulations vary differently but also the taste and process of production and finished product and content. I grew up in Padania area where Grana is from but my family and relatives are from Parma where Parmigiano is from and to me personally Parmigiano is always better and also made in a healthier way etc... that said if you cannot find Parmigiano sure stick to Grana

[@donaldist7321]

@@FROBcom whenever I drove across the border, I noticed that all cheese factories immediately changed their signs from Reggioano to Grana Padano so I assumed it it simply a DOC thingy.
