Pasta Grannies discovers busiate with pesto trapanese from Sicily

[@edarrau]

I’m very curious about the people who doesn’t like this video, I mean, this fine old lady is making something beautiful.

My guess is that you don't know want to know.

For sure it’s people with celiac’s.

[@elainebmack]

Growing up in the USA, in Chicago, I never cared for pasta. It wasn't a part of my family's culinary heritage so we didn't have it very much. When we did have pasta, usually spaghetti out of the box, it was ok, but nothing special. It wasn't until I visited Italy as an adult and had homemade pasta like in these Pasta Grannies videos that I discovered how glorious pasta can be in all its myriad, shapes, sizes, and styles of preparation. Now I can imagine that this simple pasta could be so wonderful, especially when made with loving hands as presented in all these videos.

Thank you so much for documenting the talented work of these wonderful women. This is a cultural heritage that should never be forgotten.

[@islandbreeze2102]

Absolutely beautiful. So wonderful to still have these wonderful women around to show us their magnificent heritage. Please continue to travel and collect the beauty and wisdom of these old Italian traditions. May it never be lost in time.

A year ago tomorrow, I moved back to the US after living in Sicily (working in Palermo, Trapani, and Marsala). This is one of my favorites, I so happy you did it!! Brava Angela!

Amazing vegan Sicily! Thank you, Angela! Than you, Vicky and the whole Pasta Grannies team.

[@carlynfry]

yes! looking for vegan italian as well

[@M.C.P.]

@Honigmulle if most dishes are not vegan, they are very commonly vegetarian anyway... meat was only for great events, probably fish was more used in some areas... that's it.

[@frink32]

My Father is from Trapani. Sicily is definitely NOT vegan. This dish is certainly vegan because of the lack of cheese. But I would say pretty rare. Cheese is almost a daily thing in Sicily at least in my dad's family. Also, fish, chicken and organ meats are very common. Beef and lamb steak, chops...etc are more for celebrations but, at least these days, they make weekly or biweekly appearances. Carne Muticatti! Oh man! Basically like a country fried steak.

[@sarahp1383]

Beautiful busiate. How artistically Signora Angela twirls the pasta dough round the grass stem and rolls it off effortlessly. Obviously years of constant practise have honed her skills. To reach that level of perfection will take a lifetime So much of love and patience is involved in making this labour intensive dish. Thank you Pasta Grannies❤

[@toninolasala9353]

Finally the real and authentic recipe of "Pesto Trapanese"! BRAVISSIMA!!!

[@fioreflower7]

I’m Sicilian and I can guarantee that’s one of the most delicious pasta ever !!!! Yummy 😋

[@francaperi7434]

Indeed.... It is just glorious

[@joybmassa]

"BASTA" to the naughty puppers who wants some ! Hahahah! The ultimate marble mortar & pestle! A copper pot with the most. beautiful. lid. (even though it takes a wood fire to heat!) And the usual skills-built-over-a-lifetime making extraordinary pasta.... This episode has it all! WAIT! Did you see? A COOKBOOK IS COMING! What?!!!!!

[@pastagrannies]

yes, due to be published at the end of October. best wishes, Vicky

I love her. She is amazing. I am addicted to this channel.

[@dpistoltube]

Looks delicious! Thank you for this old school recipe. I love your copper pot and the wood burn oven

[@CatherinesPlates]

Love homemade pastas. Rolling the pasta around the stems is such a great technique. Pesto looks delicious.

[@bagh1704]

This channel is so addictive!!! Thank you so much for the work you all do by collecting the recipes of these lovely grannies. :)

[@alysonm7551]

“One clove garlic per person”. YES PLEASE! Just count me twice. ;D

[@Fcon0]

Actually she uses a local and very famous variety of garlic, called "Aglio rosso di Nubia". It has a reddish shade, beautiful perfume and doesn't stink at all. That's why in Trapani area they use a lot of garlic, it gives very nice flavour with very little drawbacks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aglio_Rosso_di_Nubia www.fondazioneslowfood.com/en/slow-food-presidia/nubia-red-garlic/

[@coletterice]

That looks fabulous! Love the pasta shape, and another vegan recipe from Pasta Grannies! Thank you!

[@kimmieRH05]

I absolutely LOVE this channel..... so many of these recipes are reminiscent of my childhood and how we ate. My grandmothers made so many of these dishes. Some I still make today, but most are lost to “convenience” cooking in today’s busy lifestyle ... but I am definitely going to reincorporate some of these lost dishes back into my traditional Italian cooking!!!❤️

[@wrahvin]

I love these vids, i get the impression that pasta can look like whatever you want it to, and i was fascinated that you don't have to use eggs

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Michael, there are two main types of pasta dough: semolina (durum wheat) flour plus water, and soft wheat (all purpose/plain) flour with eggs. If you use 00 soft wheat flour without eggs the dough will be very soft. best wishes, Vicky

[@angela-andreadigiorgi5072]

Signora Angela, lei è l'orgoglio della nostra Sicilia 💕

[@vcasper2827]

This looks absolutely delicious! Love the combo of pesto and tomatoes. This channel has inspired me to make homemade pasta. I've ordered a wooden pasta board and matarello from Etsy and will be putting to use what I've learned from these episodes. Already pre-ordered your cookbook and can't wait!

[@pastagrannies]

Delighted to hear you have been inspired to make pasta - I hope it gives you many hours of pleasure. best wishes, Vicky

[@aris1956]

A delicious and healthy dish .... that's the beauty of Italian cuisine !

[@PinkeeLee]

gorgeous looking pasta and sauce. i wonder how old that marble mortar is. those strong hands that work the dough could probably do it in her sleep. lovely blue eyes she has.

[@pastagrannies]

Thank you Fausto for sharing this information. I wish this garlic was more widely available! Garlic one finds in supermarkets is usually too old. best wishes, Vicky

[@Fcon0]

In Italy is quite easy to find, most supermarkets stock it as premium garlic. If you live abroad it's quite easy to buy it online. Garlic itself has a very reasonable price, shipping will be reasonable too. My parents produce small quantities of quality olive oil in sicily and we ship it regularly all over Europe. I agree with you on the age, but the storage is the real issue on supermarket garlic. We buy once a year garlic from Nubia and use it all year long, if stored in a ventilated and not too exposed to sunlight area it's no issue at all. It is usually kept in the traditional "treccia" shape hanged on the wall ( www.salineditrapani.com/images/aglio-di-nubia-29.jpg ), this avoids multiple layers of garlic on top of each other like supermarkets do and improves dramatically the shelf life. The variety of the garlic can also make it very stinky or very fragrant, that's why it is important.

Looks like lots of blonde curls! I commented on a crazy video before, and the responder was kind of mean, so this video brightened up my spirits. Thanks for helping me see the light again 🥰

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Aaron, was the crazy video a Pasta Grannies one? because I don't allow mean comments. Commenters can of course disagree, and it's sometimes difficult to judge tone of voice from the written word, but I have zero tolerance to swear words and negative remarks about others, including the Pasta Grannies. And yes busiate are very like blonde curls. 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@stefanobocchio9894]

Fantastica

[@mauriziocosta8416]

Angela does not use cheese. The realization of this recipe does not add "cooked" seasonings, only fresh or dried. Traditional Italian cuisine basically wants simplicity and balance of flavors. What Angela is doing confirms this trend. For all those who want cheese: is it a tendency for Anglo-Saxons to add flavors by saturating smell and taste? Reflect!

[@leporello7]

That marble mortar alone would be worth a video.

[@jorgesantori5286]

I tried these tonight--first pasta I've ever made. Was great--not as pretty or even as Angela's, but tasty!

[@richardmassey1555]

Love the videos. Just discovered the channel recently. I like what she made. I was taught to make pesto with pine nuts. I was surprised a little when i didn't see them go in. Not sure if pine nuts are traditional.

[@pastagrannies]

Hi Richard, welcome to Pasta Grannies.The basil and pine nut pesto you are thinking about originates from Liguria, and while it's made the world over, it's not made elsewhere in Italy. Pesto trapanese is from Trapani (as the name suggests) in Sicily. Pesto is a word derived from the Italian verb pestare, to pound, and you'll find it popping up in various recipes.best wishes, Vicky
