Pasta Grannies discover giant spaghetti hoops called stringozzi!

This is a fun pasta shape! Watch Irma slap and pull pasta dough to form a huge spaghetti hoop, several metres long. In Casperia, in northern Lazio, they're called stringozzi. It pops up again in southern Italy where it has other names, like döres in Basilicata. Irma dresses the pasta with a fresh tomato sauce.
For the stringozzi pasta: 150g semolina flour, 350g 00 flour, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 150ml water
For the sauce: 500g cherry tomatoes, glug of olive oil, 1 garlic clove, 150g pitted black olives, 1 tablespoon capers, 1 anchovy (optional), big handful of basil leaves, grated pecorino cheese to serve
Jennifer, incidentally, is the owner of the kitchen and friends with Irma. Check out: www.latorrettab...

I'm from Casperia, i know Irma personally. She's the best!

Looks like such a beautiful place!

Lucky you! best wishes, Vicky

She looks like an absolutely lovely lady, with a great attitude towards life!!

Mi scusa, c e una cucina da ristorante oppure c e nella sua casa?

Im sure your full of lies

[@adrianmolina4092]

Love her personality. She seems so charismatic

[@cut--]

I wouldn't want to get into an argument with her !!

[@annamazzullo3438]

I continue to be astonished at how many pasta dishes I have never heard of, seen in books or even on menus - and my background is Italian! What a wonderful archive Pasta Grannies is creating. I love these bite-sized (no pun intended) cuisine stories featuring these amazing cooks. I wish I had the idea to travel around Italy documenting grandmothers cooking, I'd love every minute of it! especially the tasting part :-)

[@pastagrannies]

hi Anna, the pasta variety is amazing isn't it. And I have the best job in the world 😀 best wishes, Vicky

[@annamazzullo3438]

@@pastagrannies do you need an assistant? (Will work for pasta .. ;-) )

[@Banzybanz]

@@pastagrannies You're doing a great job trying to record/preserve traditional cultural practices. In a world of standardisation, variety is being lost at an alarming pace. Keep documenting everything. Maybe put everything in a book in the end, with pictures and all.

I Love Irma & her vibrant personality!!! I can’t wait to make her pasta recipe!!! Amazing how she keeps getting that wheel shape of dough with her unique method! Very interesting! I can’t waiting to eat this pasta!!! Looks sooo delicious! Wish I was in the hills of her town & was able to visit with her!!! Its beautiful there! Pasta Grannies Forever‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️ p.s. the room Irma made the pasta in is beautiful & I admired all her utensils!!!!😘😘😘

This technique was such a joy to watch! She is absolutely delightful. This channel is the best way to start any day.

[@miele7217]

Irma: esplosione di simpatia, oltre che di bontà e gusto! 😋

[@naolavo394]

I'm in love with this channel, such that I've already replicated some recipes at home. I've made the lasagna with spinach dough and the schupfnudeln, both of them were slam dunks here. Italian cuisine is a.mixture of simplicity and bold flavors, which appeals to almost all of us.

[@Asaewen]

This pasta must be so difficult to make! She is amazing!

[@kadenduiffard2388]

The genius of this series is that it makes us want to make the pasta the way these wonderful women are making it. Everyone should have an Irma in their life.

[@thecalicoheart7946]

Wow, I really like the look of this! Definitely going to try this with my homegrown tomatoes! Thank you for all the grannies and recipes. Wonderful channel! 🤝😍💖 Edit two weeks later - so I had enough homegrown tomatoes to make this and it was absolutely delicious. I am definitely going to make this one again. Absolutely restaurant-quality dish. These Grannies amaze me how they manage to pack in so much flavour with such simple ingredients and methods. And yes, I did make the stringozzi! 😂 It didn’t turn out all nice and even like Irma’s but it was still really nice! 😋 And the slap-slapping was fun! 😉😁

[@marienstar1]

Adorable 😘❤️

[@debboyea9567]

She is a sweetheart! And that dish she made looks so appetizing! Yummy!

[@seannilagan1608]

I love her pasta making method rather than the traditional hand pulled pasta. ❤❤❤

[@billyboh78]

Among all the wonderful videos of this channel, this one has striken me in a very strong way, because Irma's way of speaking sounded so familiar, I kept thinking: "Oh my, she speaks just like my aunt and my father!"- and then I googled "Casperia" and I discovered that she is from the same province of my relatives! My father left his hometown more than 40 years ago, but tomorrow I have to call him and ask if he knows the stringozzi!

[@nealieanderson512]

Isn’t that amazing about the slapping? It’s like a gift from God....I love it. She’s wonderful and her kitchen is to die for! The dish looks delicious!

[@Getpojke]

My copy of "Pasta Grannies" arrived yesterday. Beautiful book, great recipes, pictures and stories. Not finished it yet, but I have been in the kitchen with it ever since trying out new ideas and I think its improved my pasta making already. Great channel and book, nice to see tradions being saved.

Hi Chris, there is a book (called Pasta Grannies) which came out last October so all recent episodes, like Irma's, won't be featured in it. best wishes, Vicky

What a cutie she is 💜 My mom and aunts would go to an Italian store and buy their spaghetti (dried) that was around 4ft long. It came in a long box and it was shaped like a long sided U. I loved it.

There is nothing like mama în Italy. She ia an institution. As long as mama remains like that, Italy remains the most beautiful country in the world. I'd like to see and hear more from all Italian mothers! Let them speak, show what they can and how they think. We can learn tremendously much from the Italian mothers!

[@eirenemendoza5]

This channel makes me so happy

[@make.and.believe]

I wonder if smaller individual portions can be made - so everyone gets their own full ring noodle without cutting it? What an inventive pasta! ❤️

[@Neenerella333]

I suppose, if you start with a smaller ball to make the donut shape in the beginning. I like your idea. It will take some trial and error to make it the individual size.

[@pastagrannies]

worth experimenting 😀 let us know how you get on. best wishes, Vicky

[@elvagadd1883]

Looks so YUMMY! I just received my Paste Grannies cookbook , I look forward to reading it and cook some delicious pasta. Thank you 😊🤗

hi Elva, I hope you enjoy the book 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

[@cozyflannel]

Pasta making: [EXPERT LEVEL] 🤯 I’m curious, why go to the trouble of keeping it one continuous ringed strand? You’re gonna cut it up to serve it. Either way, you gotta respect the pro techniques here wow.

[@__seeker__]

I know what you mean, but it’s kept in a single loop while making it so because it’s much easier and efficient for the cook. This way, you’re only working on “one” noodle, in a sense. If you aren’t using or don’t have a rolling pin, to make this dish, you’d have to roll out hundreds of individual strands of pasta.

[@cozyflannel]

Toro del Sole ahh gotcha, thanks!

[@stevelogan5475]

Ms. Vicky, this wins best recipe of the week on you tube & looks absolutely delicious. I really like those type noodles & have seen chinese noodle makers make them. You'll probably know this, but didn't china bring pasta noodles to italy ?, & then italy took pasta & ran with it making all types of shapes & designs. God bless everyone & please stay safe.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Steve, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The story of Marco Polo bringing pasta back from China was invented by an advertising company 😊 But the Arabs in Sicily were making and exporting pasta in the 12th century. And you are right about the diversity of pasta shapes being unique to Italy. That is thanks to the mountainous geography and varied dialects of the peninsula. best wishes, Vicky
