How to make Sicilian Maccheroni | Pasta Grannies

We are in Menfi, Sicily, for this episode watching Damiana and Gaetano make fresh pasta with fava beans - picked straight from their garden - and ricotta.

[@biancat7761]

You can tell These grannies feel so special! Beaming with pride

[@damianrhea8875]

Bianca Taylor YES. The pride and confidence in their cookery is BEAUTIFUL!

[@Ruhevoll1]

In a world where more and more people are being intolerants about food, these videos from the channel come to show that if its made with love and good ingredients, the body will never reject a good food; otherwise those grannies wouldn’t for sure lived for so long. Thank you so much for having the idea of showing it to the world. It made my busy day, a better day. ❤️

Spot on

[@andreamariapohl1611]

I love how some of the nonas are like: "what is going on? why does this stranger ask me to speak to a camera." i love it. Thanks for asking them!

[@mareeattard5146]

My wish and dream is to live in a village in Italy. What a nonna😘😘

[@nestordominguez9907]

Mis respetos y admiración a esa Señora. Con simpleza y amor cocinó algo fantástico. Me hace recordar a mi extinta madre.

[@emdelsordo7620]

I love Love Love watching these videos . They remind me of my trips to Italy watching the Grannies from Molise cooking! Oh how I miss those days!

[@sandrajohnson9926]

I miss Italy , too. I was in & around Lake de Garda.

[@drendee]

So thrilled to have watched a nother sensational episode of this wonderful series.!!!!! Thank you so much for making and sharing !!!!

[@dpistoltube]

I love fava beans... thank you for sharing your recipe. I love the hungry man sitting to the side waiting to eat 😃😉😎

[@cosmicflower857]

She made every single one of those... I’d feel honored to be in her family.

[@pastagrannies]

That's very much the case. Everyone in Italy thinks their grandmother's cooking is 'the best' - for a good reason! best wishes, Vicky

[@bluetoad2001]

oh man that kicks up a notch Pasta e Fagioli, thanks for posting

[@biacampbell676]

So sweet, she looks like a Portuguese nona! Lots love from Portugal

[@HeatherG0707]

They are precious together!!!

[@connieiezzi4684]

i love each and every grannie and their recipe... but i wish it was titled "PASTA NONNIES".

[@ashleybartsch6642]

I love how this couple can live outside k

[@souadghazal2533]

and sleep outside too under the beautiful starry night ... in Sicily when it's warm and gorgeous

[@nildabridgeman8536]

what an original dish! yum!!

[@jorgesantori5286]

Maravilhosa receita!!!

[@patriciavincent5076]

Fantastic!

[@joshuabailey1825]

The best Mac and cheese I'll never have.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Why is the water always warm? Does it absorb better or is it something else?

[@TheBurkechi]

vorrei vivere così!

[@diannes4384]

Charming

[@nycbklynrmp]

can i use kidney or white beans instead of fava?

[@pastagrannies]

Yes, why not - the key is seasonality and /or availability of ingredients -and there are dozens of pasta and pulse combinations to be found throughout Italy. best wishes, Vicky

[@saraabdou1126]

how long it takes to boil the macaroni?

[@rowane6838]

fresh pasta like that only takes 2-3 minutes tops, it will rise to the surface and float

[@annmarienoone9879]

I love how the husband doesn’t lift a finger.

[@alessandroalessandro4656]

He coltiveted the fava beans and cleaned them.

[@charlesblake2280]

Vicky you seem lovely but you remind me of that crazy Irish woman stereotype who would live next door haha! Are you Irish?

[@biacampbell676]

Like to taste it sure it’s delicious 😋

[@k.fuentes7448]

This is one real woman. Strong arms and a droopy bra strap. Love this channel!

[@flarica64]

LOL... so true... she reminded me of my Titi Lolin always cooking delicious and the bra strap thing....LOL

[@annemariem3953]

When she combined the ingredients at the end, I actually teared up because I wanted to eat it so badly! Heaven on earth!!

[@TaylorRomano]

Ok I just found this channel because you were FEATURED by KZbin and thank god I found you haha I've just binge watched almost all of your videos and now im starving. This is a fantastic idea and I hope you keep doing what you're doing

[@kevinh3979]

1:58 - Is her husband there for Quality Control? :-)

[@As-zn3cd]

hes done his part by picking the beans

[@kesmarn]

@@As-zn3cd He thinks so. :-D

[@massimilianotosi7585]

In traditional Italian households nonno (grandpa) is never to interfere with cooking. Nonna might beat him with the rolling pin if he tried to do that! (Italian sense of humour... but true🤣)

[@goxdie000]

I guess it must have been a pretty hot day too!

[@CallmeXtina80]

it's always like that :)

[@TheBurkechi]

I love these videos!!! it makes me miss italy so much. i used to do so much of this with my Nona and I feel the loss and void in my life as this is part of my history now and not the present.

[@Ginobambino100]

Thank you soooo much! I have been looking for this pasta recipe since I first had it in Montelepre 10 years ago. I was at a restaurant owned by the nephew of Salvatore Giuliano where some elderly women were making pasta by rolling it around long thin rods. I was fascinated. But I could never figure the name or exactly how it was supposed to be made.

[@massimilianotosi7585]

The iron is called: ferretto per pasta fresca

[@DSmith-gs4tr]

This nonna moves with authority. Love it so much

[@michaeldaniels3570]

I LOVE this Nonna best so far and I have watched many and what a beautiful house. Her presentation is perfect, no hesitation in her working the pasta. Brilliant!

[@monamona9171]

That's very useful and interesting chanell. It would be nice to explain about each region grannies come from - Italia has so much to tell above la sua cucina....I would start it with a map, for exp.

[@aaceve1]

Grannies ARE the best chefs! Can't compete with my grannies wizardry in the kitchen

[@jmatt4life]

How had I not been aware of Pasta Grannies??? I’m loving it, so!!!

[@ernestobrito3248]

Vicky, im sorry for saying it here but your thyroid seems to be a little enlarged. Really sorry if you already do anual check ups just trying to help

[@tsuxi11]

Pasta Grannies, congratulations on your channel. I came across the videos and now I'm watching each one of them. "Brava!" from Brazil!

[@fedm6296]

And you know damn well that oil is amazing, that ricotta is superb and those fava beans are super tasty. None of which you can find in any UK supermarket. Amen.

[@Perenniallady57]

I want to be in the kitchen with you cooking. I feel happy just watching your video. You pasta looks delicious!

[@dpistoltube]

Im making this tonight 😉❤

[@pastagrannies]

I love the combination of fava beans and pasta 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@fussyrenovator7551]

I’ve been searching and searching how to get the Maccheroni off the rod. A picture tells a thousand words. Thankyou so very much. Absolutely lovely.

[@flarica64]

Looks delish.... She reminds me of my favorite aunt Titi Lolin :')

[@jennifers9947]

Sweet home

[@gulnarabaeva1558]

🌸🌼🌹👍

[@sandrajohnson9926]

Fava beans are highly nutrient dense. High in protein. So much love goes into this food. Beautiful ladies! Wonderful food.

[@rpowling]

I love all of your videos! Such skill and variety in each. Thank you for showcasing these amazing grannies and their wonderful creations :-)

[@mountain2112]

Love this series. The Sicilian campagna is wonderful. Tanu is keeping clear of the action and letting the boss do her thing. That's how it works.

[@hollish196]

I just love the skill of these women! Delightful----I have something to look forward to in retirement!

[@daleenalberts5829]

This is so sweet. I enjoy it very much. Too many people grow old too early in their lives. 🌸🌺💐

[@titfortat6946]

Prety lady can you let us to see their inside home please

[@tammybraden8827]

It’s intoxicating!!!

[@fleurdelotus5277]

Mamy bravo pour votre repas.

[@eogg25]

I have watched these ladies make pasta and can't get over how strong they are. I am a guy and like to cook and make pasta and I get many good ideas from these videos, my father was Siciliano and I never saw this bean sauce recipe, my mother is romana and she liked fava beans but never made this. PS How do you meet these woman to get them to do this for you.

[@pastagrannies]

We ask friends, friends of friends, total strangers, and also we contact local organisations and ask for introductions. The women then decide whether to decline or agree to filmed. 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@flarica64]

@@pastagrannies Such a great idea. Too sweet. Thank them for allowing us to see them cook :)

[@armandourso1526]

Lovely lady !

[@nymphabell]

Adoro!!

[@anneperry9014]

Fantastico !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kendramills2249]

Just discovered pasta grannies and I love it! I notice that when making the pasta, they never seem to salt their dough? Is it not authentic to add salt to the flour and eggs or water?

[@katherined800]

The salt goes in the cooking water.

[@nycbklynrmp]

you're thinking of dumplings, which you either fry, steam or boil with meat filling. or bake like pierogi or empanadas

[@peterpatten6176]

Great videos. Is wood the surface of choice when making pasta?

[@rowane6838]

yes

[@rabokel]

Yes. In one of the videos they say it is because of the temperature. Marble would be too cold

[@redconcepcion9988]

That dude just sitting there while she made several trips back and forth for the stuff... i cant

[@pastagrannies]

haha, yes - Gaetano keeping an eye on all the action. I expect he thought it amazing that people were keen to film his wife's cooking. best wishes, Vicky

[@PalmerLaura84]

My grandfather does not know where forks and spoons are stored. He would starve without my grandmother :) He belongs to a different generation.. but trust me, at 90yo he goes to the bank, he deals with bills.. he takes care of the household administration :)

[@janellemarks383]

I LOVE the idea of your channel, but I’m a little disappointed that there are zero actual recipes. Any way some will be coming?!? 😁🤞🏻☺️

[@nataliaq666]

I'm looking forward to a "Pasta Grannies Recipe Book" myself 😉
