Pasta Grannies discover timpano baked pasta from Calabria!

This is good for weddings and picnics and every celebration in between. Francesca and Pina live in Migliuso, Calabria and here share their recipe for timpano, a recipe name made famous by Big Night, but actually there are several variations in southern Italy. There are several components, making this a longish recipe but it's very straightforward. Enjoy.

I'm just in love with this project, these dishes and mostly with so beautiful and loving nonnas. This is not about food, this is about culture, love and care. Babushkas are international😁🌍 God bless all of them!🙏

[@denisegiallombardo4797]

I agree! I’m Sicilian, and it’s like being in the kitchen again with my grandmother and aunts. ❤️😍

[@pastagrannies]

It would be great to film babushkas make pelmeni 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

[@giuseppedellaporta4254]

I Think that you are right: this in not about but culture

[@socalcraigster]

The two young ladies learning are beautiful!

Another pasta granny pulling food out of an oven with her bare hands. Amazing.

[@pastagrannies]

good spot. I wondered how many people would notice. Actually, this is one they made earlier 😀 best wishes, Vicky

[@Qyranth]

What is heat? :D

[@cozyflannel]

As a kid, I first learned of the timpano from the movie Big Night. It’s hard not to fall in love

[@chasenip2]

That was heartwarming to watch. I think I gained 5lbs just watching them cook that. I wonder their ages because they cook that dish like 2 20 yo’s. Mangia!!!

[@salishseaquest7952]

Good to see the younger generation enjoying the fare, yet learning at the hands of their Pasta Grannies. Loved this!!

[@tallspicy]

Grandma got some bling with her Cartier watch and those gorgeous pearls!!!!

[@chrisdooley6468]

You noticed that too huh? Grandma definitely had some money her whole life because that looked like a special edition Cartier from the early 60’s lol. Gif bless her she deserves it. She looks like a lot of fun to be around

Typical Italian Granny in some places :P

[@octopus8420]

@@chrisdooley6468 "it's not retro, it's original". She probably did buy it in the 60s or got it as a present. That watch was just an expensive, yet affordable, watch back then and is taken care of.

[@grouchosaidit5454]

These grannies are just marvelous and even more so, during a pandemic. They are wonderful and deserve to be proud of their timpano. Really great fun to watch each week!

THESE MEATBALLS ARE SO TINY AND ADORABLE I'M IN LOVE 🥺

[@aris1956]

Here you see ... this is what we do in Italy when we put meatballs with pasta. We make small little meatballs and not like they do in America that put big meatballs on top of the pasta. :-)

[@giuseppedellaporta4254]

We invite you in Migliuso to test..

This is how my nana makes her wedding soup meatballs. It's a labor of love but they don't taste that same if they aren't tiny haha

As a teen, working in a Greek restaurant we would make "Pastitsio" with a BIG bechamel sauce on top (which means a much thicker, heavier bechamel than a French style). Supposedly, pastitsio, translates into "mess" or "messy" where everything is thrown together. I love this Italian eclectic version where you use what you have on hand. This is truly a versatile, international dish but I think these Pasta Grannies have perfected the art. The hollow pasta can be bought online or at international supermarkets. Thank you Vicky & Team for a great memory and updated version anyone one of us can throw together.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Greg, thanks for sharing your memory. I love Greek pastitsio - I think it's the addition of cinnamon that does it for me. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

[@stevelogan5475]

Ms. Vicky, this recipe is great, & in in the Appalchian region we have a very similar recipe, but we call it baked spaghetti. We boil the spaghetti just shy of al dente. We use a pan like the ladies( except it it is an oiled cast iron pan) & the ingredients layered bottom to top are as follows, pasta sauce, shredded mozz, the spaghetti, fresh spinach leaves, more sauce, meatballs( many), shredded mozz( grated parm reggiano if available) more sauce, & topped with shredded mozz, pan is covered with tented oiled foil, baked at 375 F for 35-45 minutes, is delicious. btw, the pasta sauce is similar to passata sauce but with diced onion/garlic, basil, dried oregano. God bless you all.

[@DiGiTMerC]

it reminds me a lot of the napoleon pasta al forno that is either with penne tortiglioni or rigatoni layed in layers followed with ragu, ragu salsa, boiled eggs, italian salami, mozarella cheese and grated parmasan cheese. buon mangiare

[@mikew735]

Grandma just grabbed that pan out the oven, she's pretty hardcore. I've seen it done by line cooks and I've done it when you just wet your hand after you've built up callous' but grammy goes right in, cool video though.

[@leon06010]

It's obvious that the dish is cold. Dou you see any steam coming from the oven or the dish? No. If the dish was hot it would still be liquid and soupy. And when she tilted the pan approaching the table, if it was as hot as you were so impressed it would be, there'd be a burning catastrophe sliding to the floor.

[@BookFreakyTube]

This looks like would be heaven eaten cold when you're back home, high as f*ck, at 2am.
