Pasta Grannies share Rina's recipe for orecchioni with butter & sage

[@kimhackett9675]

I giggled at the beginning... Nonna Rina does NOT mess around!

[@pastagrannies]

hi Kim. Her kitchen is her kingdom! 😀 best wishes, Vicky

i never get tired of these videos.

Moxie Beast ASMR me neither!

[@kahlodezoe2998]

There is definitely no more tender way to learn how to cook, they put all their love into the recipes.

[@juliahempstead9237]

Does the government of ITALY know what a great service you are providing by preserving their heritage?!?!?!

[@austreneland]

If a question begins with those first six words the answer is no.

[@nessuno1948]

Now the italian government is but a puppy to the EU commettees who favour big industries and are keen at destroying all local peculiarities. No surgical gloves, no cap, no sterilized kitchen, no stainless steel coverings, no sealed industrial ingredients............Home food is poison for the EU beaurocrats, they much prefer Mcdonads and such. (Italian Government following suite)

[@nessuno1948]

@@parsley3550 It is the sad reality of this EU whose only and one interests are making money on the shoulders of we, Europeans since forgotten centuries. So Come on MacDonald and other trash food but hygienically pure, sterile: onward trash soldiers.............

Why, why have I not known this channel way before? 😩 This is exactly what I’ve been looking for- real, authentic and handmade Italian pasta recipes. I’m not even Italian myself but I highly appreciate traditional Italian recipes. Not these weird modern recipes with milk, tons of cream or other things no one needs. I’m in love with this channel already. ❤️

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Alex, welcome to Pasta Grannies, I'm delighted you have found us. best wishes, Vicky

[@JacqueBowlingMedium]

I liked her. She made me chuckle a few times. She is the boss and knows how it needs to be done.

[@patriciavincent5076]

Those look divine. Love all of the ingredients. Beautiful Nonna!

[@patriciavincent5076]

So precious. Makes me miss my grand pa who was a wonderful cook

[@MelvisVelour]

Seriously, this was the best Pasta Grannies of all time! Don't mess with Nonna Rina! Especially you Chichi! Alora eh! You could probably make a series called "The Adventures of Rina and Chichi" that would be wildly popular with the pasta set

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Melvis, the odd couple of pasta making - yes I can see a series too 😀 best wishes, Vicky

[@arcuda2001]

Nothing better than to watch these ladies ‘ hands as they work ! Thank you so much for your wonderful channel ...

[@pastagrannies]

It's my pleasure - I'm delighted you enjoy it. best wishes, Vicky

[@leebridges1674]

I am officially in love with this channel and I am trying some of these recipes myself. Now I just need an Italian great-grandma to leave me a hardwood pasta roller in her will. :)

[@mommabutterfly496]

Same!

[@sdelaTB]

Yes!! 😂 The board too!!

[@stevelogan5475]

What a great recipe video Vicky. I know you search out great grannies who cook from scratch, and you really can taste the love and effort they put into their food. I am beginning to think everyone in Italy can cook, may the grannies pass on their knowledge and skills to family and friends, and may it never become obselete. God bless you and all the pasta grannies along with their family and friends.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Steve, the impetus for this channel was the skills aren't being passed on in the way they used to be. 😊 best wishes, Vicky

Supporting here, Grannies! This is fantastic butter and sage orecchioni!

[@desireecoad7557]

I love this Lady and her friend! 🥰

[@PinkeeLee]

i am so glad you are able to catch these ladies in action. i fear that these recipes and techniques will not survive as so few take the time to cook from scratch. they are equivalent to oral histories. thank you very much.

[@DonatoFaruolo]

Don’t worry: in Italy I have obliged my grannies and my mum to teach me how to do home made pasta, even if it is not so common for a male to do it, here. And I know a few of my friends that do the same to cook pasta abroad where they live now.

[@PinkeeLee]

@@DonatoFaruolo you are lucky and special to have spent the time gaining the knowledge. when's dinner?

[@DonatoFaruolo]

@@PinkeeLeeLet me know when you’re around. We take the issue of hospitality very seriously, in Italy :D

[@PinkeeLee]

@@DonatoFaruolo Due to the virus, I was lucky enough to go to a wonderful outdoor restaurant just this week for linguine aglio e olio which is one of my faves. to luxuriate and have someone cook for me and take away the dishes was divine. I think I will take a rain check on your generous offer until the world gets a little healthier. cheers and have a much better year! I was lucky enough to have visited your wonderful country with such a sunny clime and people many years ago and fall in absolute love with Italy. my grandfather was from Rome and grandmother from Cosenza.

[@maureenparas4190]

I love this channel a lot.the authenticity,the character,the simplicity ,ohh just reminds me of warm summers with my grandmother

[@holyhummer7951]

Thank you for this amazing recipe! Your ideas are fantastic! 🍜

[@kellybryson7754]

She is adorable!

[@gregsantamala5374]

Great watching real Italian cooks at work. So often we hear you must 'marry the pasta to the sauce' by placing the pasta IN the sauce to "finish" on the stove. Yet, Granny after Granny simply dress their pasta with a little sauce over the top. Can't stop watching!!

[@pastagrannies]

hi Greg - that's true. Quite a lot of the 'condimenti' don't need pasta water. Violetta, one of our Grandmothers, told us pasta water was traditionally used to rinse the dishes. best wishes, Vicky

[@vic82ism]

She is so darn cute🤣 “No no no no!”she knows how she wants her little pastas to be.😂

This is so lovely

[@ayla998]

Wow this is quite a rich dish with all that tasty cheese! Probably something for special events and for impressing guests?

[@caipi8429]

Don't consider only the filling, the time needed is the real answer and in a few words.. yes it is :-)

Your channel should have far more views! Grannies are so lovely and makes me feel all warm & fuzzy :) That, with fabulous food ! I started making my own pasta after binge watching pasta grannies. amazed that even with my remedial skills how amazing home-made pasta is ! Thank you for the great videos and hope you keep making them !

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Asami, I'd delighted to hear Pasta Grannies is a source of inspiration. Keep making the pasta 😊 best wishes, Vicky

Tanks. Wonderful also with nettle leaf.

[@pastagrannies]

We have filmed Tortelli with nettles in the dough - it's the most wonderful colour. best wishes, Vicky

[@cabighorse]

I adore these videos! Would you consider a video how to roll the pasta? I see these women wrap the pasta and roll. I’d have a horrific mess if I tried. Would love to see the technique

[@Ardoxsho]

You need lots of room. My elders made pasta every week, and I learnt the tricks before I even started going to kindergarten. But my kitchen is too small. My grandma's set of board and big rolling pin is back at the old house in the country, where I can still make pasta for 12+ people almost effortlessly. But where I live, I have a small kitchen and my rolling surface is small and also a little too tall. Fine for pita breads and suchlike, but not really good for pasta. I could not roll out dough the traditional way if I wanted to. That said, another issue could be that you are working with a dough that is too soft. For pasta, you want a really firm dough. If it gives in too easily under your rolling pin and forms lots of creases and folds as you roll it out in a single stroke, that means the dough isn't firm enough. A good pasta dough is a dough that you have to apply lots of energy to before it agrees to be rolled out. You need a little time and patience, but with a properly firm dough you won't get a mess at all: it'll roll out gradually and evenly. I've seen the creases and folds from soft doughs happen with people who are unfamiliar with pasta making. So, lots of space and a really firm dough are key. Hope that helps.

What is the cheese that Rina puts on top? Looks yummy?! Thanks 🤗

[@SujetoModerno]

probably pecorino

[@pastagrannies]

Parmigiano Reggiano - because she lives in Romagna. best wishes, Vicky

[@pastagrannies]

hi Caronte, pecorino should be used more often than it is, but here we are in Emilia Romagna which is cow country and the cheese Rina used is Parmigiano. best wishes, Vicky

[@pastagrannies]

hi Mandy, 'All Purpose' but try and find unbleached, good quality flour. best wishes, Vicky

You can find 00 flours actually. You may also see hem as pasta flours :)

[@otiliastanciu4160]

Quando ha detto faccio io faccio io... Madoooo che caratterino...

[@nosizwemartin]

Vicky, what can one use instead of romongiolo (sp?) cheese?, coz one can’t get it outside of their area, I’d guess...

[@pastagrannies]

Good question - whereabouts in the world are you? Because that will influence the answer! You are looking for a firm, fresh cheese - make sure it doesn't weep whey. I've found a fresh goats curd cheese which is nice, but if you cannot find anything, simply omit the romagnolo cheese and use a mixture of Parmigiano and ricotta (drain it first). best wishes, Vicky

[@teedee3834]

What was in the packet that she added to the filling at the end of making it?

[@sdelaTB]

Is the chard cooked? About to make the recipe!!! 🤣

yes, cook it and squeeze out the moisture.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Gary, thank you. I am always open to suggestions so I have signed in and listened to a couple of tunes. I fear it's going to take weeks and I have a book to write with ridiculous deadlines. So I will take a look when the book is put to bed and even then I don't promise anything! You and I have different auditorial wiring - what happens if I choose something that's even worse to your ears?😀 best wishes, Vicky

[@garya3056]

Pasta Grannies *sigh* it just needs to get changed up a bit from video to video. Thx, Vicky. (& Good luck with your book. I’m doing something similar, but in the music world.)

[@peregrineslim4446]

I think I would have smothered them in a lot more burnt butter and sage, but the orecchioni were nicely sized.

[@kimquinn7728]

@@ailiz7 I agree with you. Sometimes, less is actually more. A little butter with the flavor from the fresh sautéed sage is perfection. Too much butter would mask the flavors of the filling. You want flavors to complement one another. Not show them up. Isn't there an old song that says too much of anything isn't good for you?

[@judithlehman6533]

I am always amused by your narration when you say "Grannie measures out 300 g of flour" and she's dumping it on the table. Did they ever use a scales....way back when they first began?

[@pastagrannies]

hi Judith, I know it's 300g grams because she's added 3 eggs! Rina dumps the amount of flour she knows will bring the dough together with the number of eggs she has - it's all done by eye and experience. I rarely see scales in a kitchen. best wishes Vicky
