Pasta Grannies share Giggina's Sunday gnocchi with meatballs

I want Giggina's kitchen! Also I want to be able to have Sunday lunch with her on a regular basis. Find out why in this video where she makes gnocchi with meatballs and beef (veal) rolls cooked slowly in a tomato sauce.
Many thanks to Luciana Morgera for her help in finding women on Ischia.
KZbin also filmed her at the same time, and she appears in their Spotlight video about Pasta Grannies - you can watch the video by following the link in the community tab.

[@megherz8045]

Giggina is my grandmother. We call her Nonna Geggia and we love her. she loves cooking and I'm very happy that she is on a KZbin video! Thx PastaGrannies!!

[@pastagrannies]

E stato un grande piacere filmare Giggina! She also appears on the KZbin episode on Pasta Grannies 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@froncifresh]

Nonna geggia è dolcissima!

Megherz what a lovely vibrant nonna! Bless her!!

[@susanboyd5471]

You must be so proud! She is inspiring!

[@liliannaa3627]

Amazing dishes, amazing Nonna Geggia! 🥰 😊

[@PhoenixRiviera]

She does have THE most beautiful kitchen and probably has sea air coming in through her windows... God bless her!

[@dpistoltube]

Totally agree

[@giuseppetota]

Ischia it's beautiful...

[@debboyea9567]

I totally agree! Beautiful lady..beautiful kitchen!

[@m.katherinelamont1873]

The dappled sunlight, the trees swaying in the breeze, the sounds and smells of her cooking, dining al fresco, paradise!

Seeing this video IS therapeutic.

Its true! I love it!❤🇧🇷

[@caseykod4406]

I am absolutely addicted to this channel - the only request I have other than keep the content coming is: could we see people eating and enjoying the dish at the end?

[@kiltlvr]

Casey June, YES! I want so much to enjoy that vicarious tasting which acts as the natural conclusion in all cooking shows.

[@pastagrannies]

Casey yes I must remember to film that - partly because we're all too busy eating to wield a camera. best wishes, Vicky

[@ralaxgaming]

@@pastagrannies Set up a wide shot on sticks and you won't have to wield the camera!

[@1sunstyle]

I will help out with eating and wielding the camera!

[@LILAC2CARB]

Oh yes I was thinking that too

[@kiltlvr]

When Giggina said she loved cooking on rainy days, my heart leapt with joy. I, too, love to cook on rainy days. There’s nothing more peaceful or soul satisfying. 🥰

[@patrick764]

I thought the same thing. She is a good soul.

[@ferportoricardo]

That is such a beautiful thing that I never thought about. :)

[@patriciavincent5076]

What a lovely woman. Gorgeous hands. Love the recipe for the meatballs with the bit of flour for extra browning. And the dappled sunlight coming through the windows. Divine! I want to be there!❤️

[@goldensprite3373]

Anchi'o

[@kpmich8252]

That kitchen is truly beautiful. The trees above, the spaces allowing the sun to tap in, the fresh breeze blowing, Lord thank You for these wonders 😍

[@dawnekathleen]

I too would love a sunday lunch in the company of Nonna Geggia, her joy is contagious 💛

[@AuntDuddie]

Every time I watch the Pasta Grannies I am overwhelmed because I miss my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother so much. Thanks for the memories.

[@orsolaventura1924]

Buoni solo a guardarli Fanno venire fame. E poi Ischia e un posto magico. Complimenti a Giggina Per la ricetta. Molto simpatica e mediterrania. Brava

[@radman3206]

Love the bit where one of the crew comments on her “velocita”. She is truly a marvel, preparing that entire meal at machine speed and with the utmost attention to detail. Bravissima!

[@algernon5776]

Wow just watched one of the best chefs in the world. Food is the great connection. These ladies are so wonderful.

[@kpepperl319]

I don't think I have ever seen a meatball recipe with white wine! A whole new world just opened up... I love these videos. Thank you for documenting something so important.

[@ivyalexander6329]

I thought the same thing! Wine soaked meatballs...YES PLEASE!

[@susanaagopian3820]

Muchas gracias Giggina! Probé su receta de gnocchi y salieron fantásticos, con la textura justa. Decidí hacerlos viendo su tranquila habilidad para trabajar en la cocina y sobretodo cuando dijo que cocinar no es un trabajo sino un divertimento, pienso lo mismo. Auguri Giggina!!

[@TheFLOPY3032]

My three year old daughter loves cooking gnocci with me is her favorite dish . I’m addicted to this channel now , inspired me to keep my family tradition

[@HooliganMomma]

I love her!!! I love her description of loving to cook on rainy days...she's after my own heart!! And her home is beautiful!!! xo

[@chrisdooley6468]

Wow that outdoor 3/4 covered kitchen though!! Beautiful I’d be inspired to cook in that gorgeous weather out there too.

[@sweetboo1022]

This woman is magnificent. I learned a few things & now I'm hungry.

[@sarwatkhurram4104]

She is so hard working Everything was done so beautifully and quickly

[@mediastarguest]

Invaluable soon-to-be-lost skills - an art form - from a generation that appreciated and understood the true meaning of quality of life.

[@mikehunt8769]

Absolutely! I just discovered Pasta Grannies today and Isaid pretty much the same watching my first episode. Food is Life and in the States your taught to pay, trust-- only to be fed lab food. Look foward to pick up more skills from Pasta Grannies :D

[@ags3484]

Her home kitchen is so nice, what a beautiful place to cook

[@NT-fk9ug]

I watched it twice, one for the method and one to admire the kitchen!

[@pliny8308]

Me too. :)The kitchen is absolutely glorious. She's glorious too. Cooking isn't a job for her; it's entertainment. It's also a labour of love. This is what's so lacking in the modern industrialized world, where people are proud of not being able to cook. What a loss.

[@tammysims5164]

What a beautiful life she is living. What I wouldn't do to sit at her table for the lovely food she is preparing, along with listening to all her stories. The sights, the aromas, all at once. What a dream!

[@CurlyEm]

Exactly like my Calabrian mamma makes them! TV Chefs killed cucina povera.... that’s why I love this channel simple ingredients and no fuss!

[@IgiWhiteman]

I love how every single thing she does looks so confident/experienced, almost automatic. Like she´s done it a milion times before.

[@Khazandar]

Because she probably has.

[@stevelogan5475]

Vicky, once again you win best video recipe of the week on you tube, but Pasquale from Orsararecipes was a close 2nd with his chix noodle soup this week. Giggina is such a sweetheart & great cook, i really like this recipe with gnocchi, you know i'm irish, 56 yr. old man & i love Italian food, especially gnocchi, as pasta is to Italians, potatoes are to us Irish, yes the stereotype is true, lol, Irish folks love potatoes, lol. God bless you, the pastagrannies, & all the subs/ viewers.

[@pastagrannies]

thanks Steve, I will now have to check out Orsara recipes 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

The hand of a mama is the best ingredient for a wholesome life! Grazie Nonna!

[@pip2848]

I have to be honest. I don' t know how to cook but i can' t stop watching all these wonderful, amazing, beautiful, lovable grannies. They remind me of my own nonna from Napoli. Grazie a tutti and a big big hug from Argentina😊😊😊

[@markleogante9183]

Aside from the truly authentic and scrumptious food, the smiles and warmth these lovely grandma radiates is so satisfying to the soul. Makes you want a big hug from them. 😁 Oh how i miss my own granny too ❤

[@kimschortgen5783]

"She finds making pasta therapeutic" I finally met my kindred soul and feel understood. Love this woman.

Se solo si potessero sentire i profumi oltre che il suono e le immagini, che meraviglia ❤️❤️❤️

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

Giggina you are the real thing. You remind me of my Mamma Virginia who was from Catania and made all types of fresh pasta. I am the only living family member interested in carrying on the tradition. You taught me a lot here. Warmly...Sal

[@nildabridgeman3739]

Everything this Granny does is BOSS!!! I'm learning so much from this channel about LOVE... These woman love their families & love to cook. Do everything with LOVE in your ❤ & it will turn out great! Thanks for these videos 💕

[@oliviasilverman-franklin1216]

[@lexzan]

omg she is so adorable. Reminds me of my Nonna. She threw me into the kitchen at the age of 5 and I can remember peeling enough Potatoes to make Gnocchi for 50 people - which was our Sunday meal every Sunday. Thankfully I didn't have to make Gnocchi every Sunday lol. I still have her Gnocchi Board. I miss her but seeing videos like this reminds me of her. Thank you so much for engaging in this endeavor so the old ways aren't forgotten 🥰😊🥰

Omg, I can't get enough of these videos. Simple, traditional italian cooking taught by these lovely, sweet Nonne!

[@stevenspilsbury9801]

I never new my grandparents, but if I had I hope they were like her. This brought a tear to my eyes, she's fantastic

It's a rainy Saturday here in eastern Australia, and I feel better just watching Giggina. Grazie.

How fortunate to have her as a grandma. You can really tell that she’s passionate about her cuisine. :)

[@seggremalac]

OMG! I've got here by a random youtube suggestion and watched a few grannies in a row. Now I just subscribed and I want to make this dish desperately! Thank you for these content and kisses for the ladies!

[@TG-eh8uo]

I think Giggina is my favorite Pasta Granny, and I have watched every single one of your videos. In fact, I am a bit behind in watching because I am "rationing" them. I had watched almost all you had posted and then had to stop for a few weeks so that when I needed a "fix" I could log on. Thank you for these wonderful glimpses into the lives of such gracious and talented women.

[@pastagrannies]

I am delighted to hear you enjoy the videos so much. There are now over 250 women, so you could always go back to the beginning again 😀 best wishes, Vicky

[@colleenrose5355]

Watching your Nonna is so calming. Tell her thank you for sharing her recipe and cooking skills. We all love to watch her.

[@1knitboy1]

I so enjoy these videos, and I can easily watch a dozen of them and feel lulled and comfortable, like I'm enjoying these women and their company in their home. In a day and age when everything seems so overdone, pretentious, and needlessly complicated for good food, these women and you are breaths of fresh Italian air. Well done to you and your entire team.

[@pastagrannies]

Thank you John, I'm delighted you enjoy watching Pasta Grannies. best wishes, Vicky

I love this channel. All these wonderful ladies teaching us their secrets of cooking

[@gidanmed]

The dream of my life is travelling to Italia and meet grannies to teach me their recipes!! My granny is italian but she came to brazil when she was a kid, only her references in the kitchen are italian, but her recipes are brazilian. She is a great cooker too!

[@seferinorino6951]

I love all these grandmas. In this horrible pandemic times I miss more than ever those who are no longer here, my parents and grandparents. I live very far away from my brothers but we have zoom at east. Stay safe and cook some pasta!

[@MrOso36]

What pleasure to watch someone who takes such joy in cooking. I wish the young people would appreciate the satisfaction you get from doing "simple" things.The smile on Giggina's face when she announces the food is ready is wonderful.

[@lynnesmith5770]

This is one of my favorite videos so far. Megherz, how lucky you are to have Nona Geggia in your life. Her open kitchen looks like heaven and I love the joy she expresses while cooking! Thank you , Pasta Grannies for sharing all these wonderful videos. Keep up the good work!

I feel like people who are depressed and going through a lot in their life should go stay with these grandmas for a while. It soothes the soul- them and their life style.They are such a source of wisdom about what is important in life.

Oh how I wish I could have a seat at her table! Everything in this video is gorgeous! 💕
