    This lovely family comes from near Borgo Val di Taro, which is about one hour's drive west of my father's area. All are in the Italian Apennines, and this dish is also something we make, although we usually use Swiss Chard or bietola, which I prefer to Spinach. Cooking with dried porcini mushrooms is heavenly. The taste is to die for. You can also see the typical use of some milk in the sauce, the lack of garlic, the sparing use of tomato product, and how the pasta is "dressed" with the sauce, not swimming in a vat of it, all very Northern Italian style. That sauce is also delicious on layered polenta, or gnocchi, or you could do a meatless lasagna with it and alternating besciamella. I would also love to see her make gnocchi.

    • @pastagrannies

    I am a huge fan of your channel. Thanks a lot for all you do. It's realy fascinating, it's a true magic. This way all these recipes keep going. One interesting thing I've noticed which is in common in Italy and Ukraine (my native country, the country I live in now) - both Italian and Ukrainian grannies had to cope with really hard times and a terrible poverty, and managed to create really exquisite recipes that worth restaurants. They had no practice with big chefs, no education, just a few ingredients and the necessity to feed a hungry family. It admires me a lot. Very strong and beautiful women, different contries, very much alike destinies

    What a lovely vignette of generations happily working together.From the experienced Anna down to the little great granddaughter, head on arms taking it all in.
    Cracking dish too. Not been many good Penny buns [Boletus edulis] yet this year so far. But I love it when there's enough to slice & dry to see me through the year. But I've had a few for the pot. So like Anna's choice of ragu for that ravioli filling. Feeling ravenous from watching.
    So happy to see the traditions being carried on in her adopted country & passing them on to her family to enrich all our lives.

    Hi Vicky. Fantastic episode! Can't believe this lady used to work at the Barocco Bar. It's mentioned in a Dire Straits song, Wild West End, from their first, eponymous album: "... A waitress she watches me / crossing from the Barocco Bar / I'm gettin' a pickup / for my steel guitar"... You won't believe me if I told you that we mentioned that album just today. What an incredible coincidence.
