  • We have 4 lasagne to celebrate World Pasta Day! Progetto Essere Anziani a Mirafiori sud (To be Elderly in South Mirafiori, a suburb of Turin) uses pasta events to get women and men involved, thereby combating loneliness. It's a great initiative. And in this video, we follow four teams compete with their pasta al forno dishes, served to the public as part of the Slow Food Terra Madre events.
    If you would like the recipes for these lasagne, please sign up for the November newsletter - the form can be found on the landing page of www.pastagrannies.com.

    Can you imagine the wonderful aromas wafting from that kitchen?! This video make me so happy, and brings back a wonderful memory of summers spent in Siena long ago. I was studying at the Siena Summer Institute as a musician, and we were asked to play a concert in one of the many hill towns surrounding Siena. While getting ready for the concert, I accidentally opened the wrong door and ended up in the kitchen. There were a team of ladies preparing gnocchi, all wearing aprons, smiling and laughing while rolling gnocchi on a long floury table. I hated to leave, but had to play the concert. After the concert I discovered to my surprise that the gnocchi were for us musicians - the guests of honor, and they were plump little clouds of heaven! Seeing this video brings all of this back for me.

    I miss my Nonna after watching this video. She made the best homemade pasta ever. Long live all the Nonna's of the world. I remember growing up with long tables covered in pasta and the smell of her sauce on a Sunday morning. A very lucky treasure from life.

    I started watching your videos about 2 months ago.
    They relax me so much. Watching all this Grannies making homemade pasta and sauces are soothing. I watch before bed.
    I'm wondering how well the pasta would be with gluten free flour.
    I've made egg noodles(thicker) for chicken and noodles.
    So maybe? And is the key to noodles like theirs is the kneading? 😊❤

    As a Pesto lover I am so very anxious to try making the Lasagna with Pesto!! It looks delicious.

I'll supply the pasta and my friends can supply the wine LOL

    I have a question. My wife's family (Great Grand Parents) were from Abruzzo. I don't know about them or her Grandparents (who I know made fresh pasta) but her mother never made lasagna with bechamel sauce. They would use ragu , mozzarella, a mix of ricotta, egg, parmesan and parsley as the layers. Could this be regional or Americanized? Great video as always.

    • @pastagrannies
      @pastagrannies  5 лет назад +1

      When I first came across this style of lasagna, I thought it might be a 'boomerang' recipe because the dish in question used non southern ingredients like mortadella and Parmigiano. But I think my first impression was wrong and this 'put everything in it' approach is typical of a celebration. But not the béchamel - that's definitely from further north. 😊 best wishes, Vicky

    • @AirrowRocket
      @AirrowRocket 5 лет назад +1

      Thanks Vicky. So not using Béchamel is from further North? Or South?

    • @pastagrannies
      @pastagrannies  5 лет назад +2

      I think the use of béchamel sauce is northern Italian - my knowledge of history is very hazy but France had two Italian queens and northern Italy was part of the French (Napoleonic) empire for a bit. The Italian for béchamel (French) is besciamella. 😊 best wishes, Vicky
