- 94 year old Isolina from Liguria shares her memories and her way of making tagliolini (taggiaen in her dialect) with basil pesto and potatoes.
Her pasta uses 600g 00 flour, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and enough water to make a dough (roughly 200ml)
Her pesto consists of 1 garlic clove crushed in 1 teaspoon rock salt, 4 bunches young basil leaves (100g) 3 tablespoons pine nuts, 3 tablespoons grated parmesan, 1 tablespoon grated Pecorino Sardo, extra virgin olive oil to taste. One large potato.
Isolina looks fantastic for 94 years old.
94 and looks 60! Long healthy life
Not only does she look good, her motor skills are very sharp.
Right !!! She is up moving around on her own ive been people in there 60s look like her at 94 !!
It's the result of hard work and good diet.
In my village I have seen lot of old people above the age of 90 years they still have head full of hair and all their tooth intact, they have always done hard work which requires lot of strength and throughout their life their diet remained unchanged. They are like soo strong still I that age it's amazing.
They say that the secret is "keep it simple and always keep the body working not just the mind"
Isolina not only looks 94 but as if she's constantly in pain. I see what you're trying to do though.
She looks 20yrs younger! Bless her.
Imagine... she went through WW2, witnessed Europe as a union, and going strong through this crazy pandemic.
My total respect for her!
I love your show. Not only because of authenticity, but also because there's no rush, no unnecessary words. Great work!
thank you Magda! best wishes Vicky
@@pastagrannies Yes, and you show the details that really help me and others to become a pretty good swalina, or swalino, whatever the case may be.
@@beingsentient I guess it is "sfoglina" in italian, expert in pasta making and rolling.
One of my life goals is to rock an apron like that when I’m 90.
Especially hand made for Nonna Isola .... and making sure she's color coordinated :)
@Joe Second that's right - do it now!
Rock it now, life is short
A marble mortar is good-quality equipment, but still, to make a blender-smooth pesto with one that nonna is fearsomely strong. Much respect.
"Braccio di ferro." As Lucy would say, "Those nonnas have guns like prize fighters!"
Yep I love my marble mortar
Not only do these pasta ladies make great meals, they are so strong to roll the dough, never use measuring cups, and can walk up big hills, & steps! I salute them & love this channel
A good nonna is as strong as an ox.
Always working to take care of her family and provide a beautiful home for everyone to feel welcome in.
I remember my nonna fondly, I'd do anything to speak to her one more time.
She passed away nearly 10 years ago and i think about her every day.
I can't believe she is 94 years old, so adorable and beautiful lady
Very agile for 94!
Amazing right
I love the show. Not only because of authenticity, but also because there's no rush, no unnecessary words. Great work!
She carried sand in a bucket on her head as a child. That sounds like the women in Africa carrying water on their heads in palanganas. The culture of the world is more alike than not. We human beings separate ourselves from each other when we're really mostly one species. This woman reminds me of the grandmother's I saw in villages in Nigeria and Ghana. The ingenuity, and love in the kitchen is universal human culture.
Beautiful words!
Thank you for writing this.
I lived in Nigeria and Kenya and realized how women in Africa do most of the work. You BTW are stunning
Women carried buckets on their heads all around the world in all cultures. It's really a universal human thing, I think! You hardly see it nowdays in first world countries, but even they used to carry things in such a way in the past
That mortar and pestle is downright gorgeous. I cannot even believe that she is 94 and can still exhibit such skills. God bless!
The more we automate our daily lives, the more we are losing all that incidental fitness that this generation had to use just make it through the day.

Sadly true. I used to help my mom with real whipping cream. Not sure I could do it now. 😂
God bless this Channel and everyone they interview.
I love hearing their stories. They all worked so hard all their lives. Much love and respect.
Yeah much love and respect
They got no rush, no unnecessary words. Great work!
Pesto is my favorite of all the sauces! My uncle brought the recipe to my mom, after being stationed in Italy. She grew basil and made pesto for years. It was lovely indeed, from the freezer in February, a taste of summer when it was still 5 months away. Lovely nonna seems well too aware of the times we live in.
thank you for sharing your memory! best wishes Vicky
94 years old😲! She looks GREAT🤗❤!!!
Amazing woman!! I wish I could be like her when I'm older!
Amazing right 😊
I love the show. Not only because of authenticity, but also because there's no rush, no unnecessary words. Great work!
Always great to see what the grannies are up to. They are so amazingly talented.
what a strong and humble role model. lovely dish. I bet her heart melts daily at that view.
Big hug from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿, long life to this precious lady ❤️
Lovely video, that dough she was rolling looked fantastic. You could see the quality [well to me anyway] in the texture as she was separating the taglioni on the board. So light, soft & smooth.
I know its also hard work, but it must be so rewarding for you to travel to all these little nooks of Italy, seeking out, meeting & spending time with these foundations of Italian food. Plus we get to share in it, so thank you.
I think I have the best job ! best wishes Vicky
Good to see these beautiful grandma all survived the monster pandemic!!!
La gente come noi non molla mai!!!
Her hair is so pretty and she is so deliberate in her movements. What a beautiful grandma.
This by far is one of the best.
I love the similar techniques used by Isolina and Marietta in another video eg the rolling and ‘slapping’ of the pasta, and separating the strands after cutting so they don’t stick.
She is 94 years old
And have still that copper strainer from her grandmother
Amazing !
THAT PLACE LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN
It... is. I'm in Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, and the weather is mild during winter, with beautiful sunsets. The trofie pasta and pesto is glorious, and the oil in the store is from the hills surrounding the towns. Lovely people, and the brutal hiking up and down the hills makes for good fitness. There are many paradises on Earth, and this is one of them.
Bavissima Isolina !
Grazie mille per la sua ricetta.
Complimenti a Nonna Isolina e grazie infinite a Pasta Grannies per questo ennesimo meraviglioso video!❤️
Wow...it's amazing.
Beautiful grandmother!!!!💖💖💐💐💐💐
She looks amazing for a 94 years old. I won't be that lucky.
I love granny taking a healthy swig of that wine. Her reward for a job well done. Wish I was there.
Adoro todos as nonas do canal!
Bjs dona Isolina! Desejo que esteja bem.
Oh my gosh that looks fantastic! She’s wonderful and I could watch her all day…..and 94 years old…..such great shape!!beautiful hair!
I cannot believe this woman is 94. God bless her.
This is what a real dream job looks like, you don't know how much I envy you (the healthy/respectful kind of envy)
hi Rodrigo, yes I adore my work ! best wishes Vicky
@@pastagrannies best wishes to you too and to all the grannies 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this channel it reminds me of my Nona, She cooked like these Beautiful Woman all the time..Man I miss those days😂 God Bless all🙏🙏🙏👨🏻🦯👨🏻🦯
It is so wonderful to see this granny cook in the traditional way! So much to learn from her. :)) thank you for sharing!!
I am in AWE. This is incredibly physical work and she's making it look easy at 94. Incredible!
My heart sings when I watch these videos ❤️ thank you ❤️❤️❤️
The pinnacle of the internet will forever be this channel, can’t get any better than this
Grandissima Isolina ❤ Grannies are cultural heritage of the whole world 😍
Thank you Isolina,Looks delicious.
Congratulation for your network :D I am from Camogli (Genoa), this of Isolina is very traditional recipe of Ligurian Pesto and "taggen" (that is the regional dialect name for tagliolini). I leave you some adice: to make it even richer this great plate, add green beans and, when season permits, also fresh fava beans to your special Pesto recipe for a 100% Ligurian meal ;D Ciao.
Another inspiring Pasta Granny. How I love pesto!
sooo cute all of these grannies, and I admire their zest for life...
Temos muitas "nonas" assim aqui em São Paulo/Brasil. A influência italiana é muito forte em nossa comida devido a imigração italiana no início do século XX.
I love these Italian nonnas 🥰🇮🇹🙌🏻
Granny food is always the BEST!!
And this is the secret to longevity! Real food,made with love!
Isolina making pesto a la Nadia.. the right way. Nothing compares to those Mediterranean pine nuts. The ultimate pine nuts with a wonderful taste and texture. And to have a marble table top shows how seriously she takes her pasta making.
My new favorite channel. Love pesto. This looks like a dream come true
Complimenti Vicky ! Pronunci benissimo la parola " taggen" ❤️!!! La Liguria é una terra speciale.
ci provo; a volte sto bene! best wishes Vicky
Bless!! She is so strong and beautiful!! ❤❤
No thing is more beautiful or pure than a Grandmother's love ........ we should cherish them always 👑💖
I like the addition of potato! Never thought of that.
My husband’s Italian grandmother used to add diced potatoes to her pesto pasta as well! It was neat to see it here too.
But it’s the traditional way to serve pasta al pesto with potatoes and green beans ,this lady doesn’t like green beans, but it’s the usual combo. Sometimes when the season is right green beans can be substituted with fresh and tender broad beans... delicious anyway!
Me either. I was taught you didn't mix two starch ingredients. Sounds good though.
Thank you Isolina!
Yeah
A nice show
By the way I’m James
Amazing. A perfect example of cucina povera that makes the best of simple 👍.
Hermosa!! Regards and a big hug from Panama 🇵🇦!!! Bellísima!
I wish I could have had a bite of this! It looks delicious!
This channel has really helped me get back to my Italian roots, even thought I’m only 25% Italian! 😋
Holding onto that 25% for dear life 😂
My nonna used the exact same pesto recipe, which i havent seen made anywhere else. She was a nanny for an aristocratic family in Genoa during the late 1930's. The family chef taught her this recipe. We are now 4 generations down still making it the same way.
wow you are amazing with 35 years of power congratulations congratulations 👏👏👏👏
She is better than fold itself...what a treasure!!
Pesto=automatic win. It's so refreshing to have a basil sauce to break the monotony of tomato or cream. I love them both, but having a third option, especially the cheesy, salty, olive oily, herbal goodness of pesto just kind of balances things out, aye?
You can cook pasta without either tomato or pesto. there are hundreds of recipes.
@@FC-hj9ub Oh I know and I've enjoyed quite a few. Unfortunately, where I am, it's 90% tomato, 10% cream and nobody even imagines anything else. Therefore, pesto is a refreshing treat.
You can also mix tomato sauce and pesto and it tastes wonderful! My grandma did that sometimes when the pesto she had left wasn't enough for a portion of pasta on its own.
I hope in 63 years I can do that. Wow she’s amazing
A spectacular pasta and pesto instruction. She’s so wonderfully serious. I love her comment: “Poor Italy. Where have we ended up.” It seems she may not appreciate the new neo-fascist government. She certainly remembers the government of the 1930s. I also love that she doesn’t like green beans with her pasta, potatoes and pesto; therefore, she doesn’t use them.
New member added to the family 🤗🥰 from INDIA 🌄
Oh gosh I spent all the summers of my childhood in Deiva Marina. Such good memories😊
Both Isolina and her taggiaen with basil pesto and potatoes look amazing!
My nonna too used to say "Po(ve)ra Italia!" ❤️ Must be something belonging to nonne's repertoire
C’era un tizio piuttosto famoso che 700 anni fa aveva già sviluppato il concetto:
“Ahi serva Italia di dolore ostello
Nave senza nocchiero in gran tempesta
Non donna di provincia ma bordello”
Actually, in many provinces of northern Italy, is quite common to hear it still nowadays. And not only among elderly people. "Eh, povera Italia!" is kinda alternative to (maybe) the more common: "Eh, poveri noi!"
@@smtuscany il tizio famoso, già allora, aveva visto lungo ;-)
@@DerAdler82 io lo dico tutt'oggi 😅
@@smtuscany bravo👏👏ogni tanto rispolverare i classici è un antidoto a questi tempi volgari.... per fortuna c’è la nostra buona cucina, pesto in primis, a risollevarci...
Grannies' magic ingridients of cooking : love and passion
Its awesome watching your channel! Having gone to culinary school and working in nicer restaurant for. almost a decade, its ingrained in you that there is one right way to do things, especially when it comes to doughs. And then I come here and theres as many ways to make pasta as there are amazing grannies to show us!
It looks delicious and amazingly simple..perfect meal and that view whatelese one needs
No blender and no fancy pasta machine! 👍🏼
God bless her for many more years to come
Trenete al Pesto from the movie! I recently discovered this channel from Dan and have been slightly obsessed watching episodes. Take care!
That face she made when she tasted the pesto is officially becoming a meme 😆
Protect the nonnas! Absolutely magic Isolina!

Che brava !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vera pasta italiana fatta in casa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fabuloso es verte como cocinas.con que facilidad🎉
Pasta Grannies, must be Friday.
This is pure Culture, not just recipes.
My stepmom always made pesto with potatoes and peas with the pasta.
hi Mike, peas sound like a good variation, best wishes Vicky
She's wonderful!
Beata Isolina! A 94 anni ancora così in forma. Anyway I come from the same region, Genoa and putting Pecorino in the pesto is a sort of sin! Only Parmesan. But there you go, Deiva is only 60 Km away and they have their own version.
The pesto looks delicious 👏🏻👏🏻
this is so wholesome!
Always greAt videos thank you 👍👍👍🌸🍃🌸
Che meraviglia ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Signora Isolina lei è fantastica e la sua pasta sembra stupenda! Quanto vorrei assaggiarla !! 🥰
That color is so beautiful -- nothing like the dark and bitter-looking pestos of most videos. Only the Italia Squisita channel also has beautiful pesto.
Beautiful Nonna and pesto.
Beautiful Isolina :)
There is more wisdom in this video than I can say.
This channel is the best for italian food and culture basically the best content on the internet
hi Nayan, thank you! best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies same to you, Nonna are always the best, your work is incredible this is culture being passed
@@pastagrannies Vicky you doing the best, i miss my granny but this makes me so happy to see the deep passed on culture being passed on with so much respect. Much love to you Vicky
Bless her. Thank you for the recipe.
Beautiful! Thank you ❤️
Yeah beautiful right
I love the show. Not only because of authenticity, but also because there's no rush, no unnecessary words. Great work!
🥰 I watch this channel bc di nonne ❣️
Yeah beautiful
I love the show. Not only because of authenticity, but also because there's no rush, no unnecessary words. Great work!
By the way I’m James
i love this and i love the slow pace of it all; i admire the raw 'unedited' way about the filming. additionally, its so wild how in the US, we tend to bring this elevated luxury to "authentic" meals when it is completely opposite at its foundation. Videos like these make me question life in America lol.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of the recipes are driven by frugality and seasonality 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
love me some pesto.. wish I could try her fresh pasta. looks amazing
