Nicoletta makes artichoke lasagna from Sardinia! | Pasta Grannies

[@j.criquette3334]

I've watched probably every Pasta Grannies, and I think this is the first one ever to actually say "Mamma mia". 😁

[@timothyogden9761]

OMG!! I was thinking the same thing! :-}

[@scottamori3188]

I love that these latest episodes have been on Sardinia. I learn something new each time. Artichoke Cops! Nicolette’s own artichokes and olive oil must add a freshness that cannot be duplicated. This is yet another gleaming example of your channel being the best of KZbin. Thanks, as always, and God Bless, Nicoletta!

[@pastagrannies]

hi Scott, yes it tickled me too that the artichokes need their own police force! best wishes, Vicky

[@AndreaRodriguez-mi7vj]

Que pena que hay traducción.

[@VeraLucia-qs1jp]

Agora entendi: Nicoleta coloca o próprio azeite, gravos da Índia e alhos inteiros na alcachofra, que depois ela tira

[@VeraLucia-qs1jp]

Onde moro só acho a farinha muito fina.

[@axion8788]

After fifty+ years of cooking this is the first time I've seen lasagne made with thick pasta sheets. Brilliant! The dish looks so delicious in the opening shot I practically gasped!

[@JWTNS]

I howled when Nicoletta explained her mother used to hit her father with the mattarello when he came home drunk. 😂

Oh that's simply just to die for!! Thanks Vicky & everyone at Pasta Grannies! Love it! ❤❤❤

I love Artichokes and lasagna. This looks amazing. Wish I could've been there.

[@aris1956]

Here we have proof of how many types of lasagna exist in Italy. There is no such thing as a "standard" lasagna. In every region, in every village and in every family, everyone has a bit of their own version. PS: But this of course also applies to other dishes and other specialties.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

that's basically true of each & every single dish in Italy LOL

[@natrixxvision6997]

I think Italian food is very much a regional thing.

[@aris1956]

@@natrixxvision6997 Indeed, because if one speaks in general about "Italian cuisine," one says everything, but in fact says nothing. The various regional cuisines, the various local cuisines and also, it must be said, the various cuisines from household to household, from family to family, even in the same city, make the cuisine in Italy something you never end up discovering. Everywhere you go, you find a new surprise (and this of course also applies to us Italians !).

[@songindarkness]

The national similarities are that the recipes always make the most of seasonal, local and fresh ingredients which is wonderful to see.

[@dkzmom]

I love when the grannies love their own food! It always seems weird to me when they use a disposable aluminum pan or other modern things.

[@juliazappone2021]

Vicky, I just received my two pasta granny books. I had put my name on the waiting list since May and they came two days ago I am so happy I could not sleep at 4:30 in the morning so I poured over my new pasta granny book for hours. The first thing I noticed was that you said do not call these grannies "cute" as they are beautiful ladies and men who have come from Hard Times and made the best of what they had into something wonderful for their family. I love the new book and I did have to catch myself especially looking at the lady with the polka dotted dress, I said "she is so cute" and she is. Thank you for this precious collection of recipes that can be passed on to generations.

[@pastagrannies]

Dear Julia, I am so pleased to hear you are enjoying the new book. Yes, Fení is delightful; her smile lights up a room. 🙂 🌺best wishes, Vicky

[@matev4786]

Interesting that she didn’t boil the lasagna sheets, I’ve always wondered if that truly does anything since they technically still cook in the oven. Love her energy & the dish looks delicious!

[@kakuella]

It's a fresh pasta so won't take too long to cooked in the oven and it will observe all the lasagna sauce so it will less likely over cooked and full of flavor than pre cooked pasta

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

Boiling is only needed for dried pasta. There are dried lasagna noodles that are made to be used dried. They will specify "no-boil" or some such thing on the package. These are actually pre-cooked during the manufacturing process. For traditional dried pasta noodles, you should follow the cooking instructions on the package. One thing to note about the no-boil noodles: they do not have surface starch. With traditional noodles, that surface starch helps bind the noodles to the layers above and below. It is similar to the reason you should put a little pasta water into your sauce when you are making a sauce for spaghetti, penne, etc.

[@gens1sumus]

If the dough is made with 00 flour and eggs the pasta sheets are “ lessate” or boiled for few seconds one by one and then soaked in cold water to stop cooking and dried on a cloth for enhancing the flavor and get better with other ingredients as ragù , cheese and bechamel , in this case she doesn’t use 00 flour neither eggs so the consistency it’s different . The base of a good lasagna is the combination pasta / other ingredients do not overpower each other and the consistency should be about the same . Ciao 🇮🇹

[@amberpeace5099]

[@elisaastorino2881]

@@eclecticexplorer7828 those "no boil" noodles are actually pretty good, at least in the type of lasagne that I make which has tomato sauce and ricotta, i. e. enough liquid to really soften them. Sometimes it's called "di magro" and is common in southern Italy where my family came from.

This recipe and the fugazza (onion one in crazy hot oven) are the best recipes so far out of this series.

[@phronsiekeys]

So simple, but it's the locality of the ingredients that makes this special. I guess I could have a taste of what it might be like if I made with a few bags of frozen artichokes, but I'd rather have Nicoletta's!

[@VeraLucia-qs1jp]

Linda nona!!! Que delícia deve estar essa lasanha!!! Vou tentar fazer a massa nona Nicoleta!!! Obrigada ❤ do Brasil!!!!

[@05carsm]

My mom makes this when artichokes are in season so it's cheaper than meat, I now cook it for my family, it's delicious

[@pliny8308]

Yum, yum! :) I adore lasagna with besciamella, and I adore artichokes. Now I have to make this version, especially as my local Italian market imports wonderful Pecorino Sardo and other Sardinian hard cheeses. I make an artichoke sauce from the artichoke hearts and chicken broth with butter which my mother taught me to make. Also, love them stuffed, of course, and "Jewish" or Roman style deep fried, and marinated under oil. I always have the marinated jarred ones in the house, along with marinated olives and marinated vegetables (giardiniera). I can't eat a sandwich, even if it's a turkey or chicken one without these to accompany it. That or an Italian salad. She's a hoot, too! Love her.

Grazie mille Nicoletta ❤️

[@Darscm]

Insteresting as always. Thank you Vicki. I was surprised to see the bechamel made in a very, shall I say, reverse manner. I’ve always created the butter/flour roux and then added the milk. I was also surprised the lasagna noodles weren’t cooked first. Just goes to show how different regions cook which is one the the main goals of Pasta Grannies

[@makelikeatree1696]

I too had never seen a béchamel made that way. Looks like it worked. I bet she has been doing that way her whole life and doesn’t know she is doing it “wrong”.

[@aznSeddie]

This is pretty close to what the French call burre magne, which is an uncooked butter-flour mixture that gets added to hot liquid.

[@CrowSkeleton]

Well, vegetarian if not using real PDO peccorino...the lamb stomach component for the rennet is so tiny it probably won't make any longterm vegetarians ill, just maybe unhappy if you don't consult with them over what they consider as "animal was killed for this" vs. "cleaning up after the folk who ate the rest of the lamb". Thanks for thinking of us, though! This looks absoloutely *amazing* and I am quite tormented by the far north's lack of artichokes. It's immensely pleasing to hear Nicoletta evaluate her work honestly as a longterm artichoke-eater and confirm it's as good as it looks, too - good for her!

[@AirrowRocket]

A vegetarian does not eat any animal flesh such as meat, poultry, or fish. A vegan is a stricter vegetarian who also avoids consuming dairy, eggs, and any other ingredients derived from animals.

[@CrowSkeleton]

@@AirrowRocket ??? I've been vegetarian for over 20 years and I assure you we don't eat drippings (gelatin, lard, rennet) squeezed directly out of dead flesh either. A lot of supermarket cheeses are now vegetarian because GMO (lab-grown) rennet is cheaper than transporting industrial quantities of dried calves' stomachs these days, but *most old-fashioned certified regional cheeses need to use animal rennet* to keep their 'traditional' certification, as that was what was used in the certified recipe. *Don't assume all cheese is veggie!* (or pastry-type biscuits, or chocolate mousse, or any of the other things companies randomly add dead animals to for "luxury" or increased shelf life.) I curse Sacla's name because they used to do a good standard pesto I could eat, but then decided to make their brand more expensive with real...parmesan, I think it is, and charge even more for a planet-destroying vegan version (no vegetarian option) which they force gluten-free folk to buy too...wretchedly cynical exploitation all round.

[@angrydoggy9170]

It’s tasty, that’s for sure but I always wonder if it’s worth the effort. I can understand using it if you can grow it yourself without too much effort, but buying it seems rather pointless. That being said, I would love a bite of this lasagna. I’d even take a hit from that roller to grab a spoonful.

[@macattack9324]

Vicki, did anyone ask why she did not parboil the pasta before making the lasagna? Was it due to the type of flour she used? Thinking of making this for the holidays.

[@pastagrannies]

If you don't parboil, the pasta needs to be either very thin or very fresh and there should be a little bit of liquid in the bake for the pasta to absorb it. I hope this helps, best wishes, Vicky

[@Getpojke]

Was thinking someone else was doing the voice-over 'till I saw you at the end. Sounded close, but different. [tickly throat?] That was a lot of work, but I bet it was worth it. Liked the trick of sizing the pasta through the tinfoil tray. Always pleasing when the sheets fit exactly. It's fair put me in the mood to grow artichokes again next year. You don't get a big yield, but what you do get is so tasty. Many thanks as always, J 🍝

[@pastagrannies]

hi James, good observation: my voice over was recorded in a New York hotel bedroom with the remnants of a cold. Currently on a US book tour and, as try as I might, I can never stay ahead with the recordings! Re growing artichokes, they are best at the back of a very large veg patch! v best, Vicky

[@Getpojke]

@@pastagrannies Hope the cold is all gone now. For a shortish period I was in charge of plantings for a large house & its gardens. I always did my best to sneak in large architectural edibles like artichokes, alexanders & cardoons...etc in the herbaceous borders. I like beauty we can eat. 😋
