Super cool right? There are actually quite a few and there are lots of Albanians that have been there for hundreds of years especially in southern Italy.
According to a video I just saw, there are Greek-speaking communities in southern Calabria (the community in this video seems to be in northern Calabria, close to Basilicata) that speak a Greek dialect. And, still, they are Calabrian and Italian.
There are many albanian communities, as greeks and serbian in south Italy. We, in the north have bilingual slovenian, german, ladino, friulan, french (in the west)...
@pastagrannies. I know this is an italian lady with albanian roots but if you ask me this just looks like chineese biangbiang noodles or something along those lines. From pulling the noodle to the chilli oil topping...funny how the culinary world develops in different parts of the globe with much of the same ideas ^^ love the video keep it up guys
Omg!!! I am an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo and I started listening to her speaking thinking "that sounds A LOT like ancient Albanian", should have known it is Arbëresh 😆😍
I am Arbereshe from Pennsylavania. I visited Albania in 2018. I was the first member of my family to be back in 500 years. It was a very emotional trip.
Quando meraviglioso è vederti e sentirti cara signora! Ooohhh, shqipja e vjetër,.... kur e dëgjoj me bën te qaj nga emocionet, njerëz të mrekullueshëm që meritojnë respektin dhe adhurimin e çdo shqiptari në botë. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing technique! That takes a lot of work. I remember my grandparents and my mom drying peppers like that in Italy. There is no taste quite like that. I love these videos. They transport me back to a time when, as a little girl, life was simple, meals that were as a result of hard labour from sowing the seeds, harvesting the crop and preparing a dish so simple and delicious! Kudos to these wonderful treasures! Stay safe and God Bless!

Vi saluto e vi auguro ogni bene 🇦🇱 @Pasta Grannies - Thank you guy’s 🙏 🍷
I enjoyed watching this a lot... The originality... The skills...the dedication...the simplicity....and above all the hard work..., Hard-working people are good people....
The toasting of the chilies & garlic was the scene stealer! A simple way for any of us can change up our weeknight dinners. Toss in left over veggies to make it a complete meal. It is these little things like grinding the spices that can refresh your own culinary portfolio. Thank you Vicky & team for recording, editing, and sharing this experience with us.
Absolutely fabulous.... I need to try this..... Awesome to see the ladies cook with passion...... This should be on TV not the useless fancy chefs... Grazie Mille..
queste chicche mi commuovono e riempiono il cuore di gioia e la bocca di saliva... I nostri ideatori di programmi televisivi dovrebbero imparare da voi l'arte di comunicare e divulgare la tradizione culinaria regionale italiana, altro che la prova del cuoco! Continuate cosi. Grazie
My grandparents were from another Arbereshe village in Calabria, but I never saw my grandmother make this type of pasta. There were always plenty of peppers, though.
That pasta seems to be so good. Someone could think it’s “just” semolino tagliatelle, but I’m sure it is different: I mean the pulling/rolling/squishing/rolling/pulling process gives a particular “fibers orientation” which translates itself into a very particular taste. And the dressing is perfect. My grandmother used to make a kind of that, but using a V cutted slots roller to obtain triangular section “spaghetti” called “marcannali”
@@nonenoneonenonenone Personally I ate them many times and hotness🥵 may vary from case to case; they are surely hot but if you take a look at Scoville chart, they are much lower than jalapeños, Trinidad scorpion and stuff like that. Furthermore the old lady told that roasting those a little bit, they loose a little hotness. What I noticed is that they do not just burn in your mouth like some other ones, they have an intense taste that, digging in my memories, I could describe as “summer taste”.
Ms. Vicky, another great recipe & looks absolutely delicious. Another pasta i've never heard of, let alone be able to spell or hardly pronounce, lol. God bless you all & please stay safe.
hi Steve, if you move over into Vaglio, Basilicata the pasta becomes 'manate' in which is easier to pronounce, but in the near by village of Ginestra - it's 'dorës' 😀 best wishes, Vicky
The main reason, why we can not cook the same dish - such fresh products are impossible to find in supermarkets. I enjoy the video. Thank you, senora Marietta!
fresh does not exist ! feel sorry for anyone who has to buy those frozen foods, cooked who knows how long ago, with preservatives, and sitting in freezers who knows for how long, and the horrific smell when they are heated or cooked in the microwave ! Even fruits and vegetables harvested unripe, two or three days later arrive to the store with no taste or flavor.....
Having read and heard the name of this delicious pasta, I now know what it feels like to be an Anglophone trying to pronounce my native language (Polish).
This was incredible! I love explaining different parts of the heritage and vocabulary words I learn to my daughter. Can anybody enlighten us as to why Albanians fled from their country?
Shtrydhja means to "squeeze" in Albanian. I think they gave the pasta this name because they make the dough by hand (by squeezing it). The word has of course evolved a bit through the centuries.
This look stupendous! I'm curious to find out if keeping the dough in one circle till the end has religious or superstitious beliefs. When my mother made polenta and put it on the board, she always used string and cut "the sign of the cross" in it before continuing with the cutting of the squares. It may have just been her belief, but it would be interesting to understand the reasoning behind the circle business.
Muscle memory is a powerful thing! Besides, the reason this granny has been making it all her life this way seems to be that it keeps the pasta from spaghettifying out all over the place, is easy to manipulate as a whole, and helps her roll it out evenly. Making pasta this way is laborious enough, so generations of pasta grannies have perfected an efficient way of doing it.
This is everything. My dream is to become a pasta granny.
go for it! ..adamina?
I'm 57, & i'd just like to live as long as a pastagrannie, even if i could not make the pasta, lol.
For now you can already have a life as an pastaboy.
Me too 😀
me too man!
How interesting seeing This unique pasta of Albanian origin in Italy. Love the culture and story behind this dish. Grazie!

@ I am also of Arbereshe descent, and also from Pittsburgh! Our family is from Barile.
This reminds me so much of the Chinese hand pulled noodles, down to the spicy chilly oil used as dressing. Yummmmm. Vicky are you hiring? 🥲🥲🥲
You're right, it really does!
There are other videos similar - even one where she pulls the noodles just like lamian....
I was about to make the same observation. Ah, the glories of food!
@@Yakitoriotaku yes this pasta pops up in different parts of Italy with different names. Sometimes the ribbon is flattened, sometimes it's unbroken - there are small variations. best wishes, Vicky
good observation, Nancy! And I think I would need a football stadium sized kitchen to accommodate my volunteer tasters 😀 best wishes, Vicky
I am Albanian German , and was totally surprised when I heard garlic and flour in Albanian. Looks really delicious!

same with the word shtridhlja.
Had no Idea there was small Albanian communities in italy, what a lovely dish they have brought!
Super cool right? There are actually quite a few and there are lots of Albanians that have been there for hundreds of years especially in southern Italy.

Attempted this at home and the results were delicious, simple but so magical. Thank you Marietta for sharing this :)
I want it! Immediately! Oh, this just looks delicious and it's such fun to watch Marietta make it. Love all those beautiful peppers.

Oh my god, I can't believe i have discovered a new cooking channel that is soo good!!! You can't get more local than this
At seventy five years old I’m one I love to cook and see my family eat and eat and eat
...
I love pasta all'olio, aglio e peperoncino and that pulling technique looks amazing;o)
Important to keep traditions alive, thx a lot for sharing!
wow looks alot like Chinese noodles, the way she makes the pasta and even the chilli oil.
The skill level to do this! She's amazing
I love her verbal participation. She's wonderful and knows what she wants.
How I wish i can taste all the pasta here 🤤 Greetings from the Philippines ❤️
I hope you will be able to travel to Italy one day. Stay safe, xx
Chilies and pasta? What a dynamite combination! I have not found anything on this channel that I didn’t like! Grazie!
And I think microwaving a frozen dinner is a lot of work. Thanks Vicky, wonderful Pasta Granny!
Oh my God! This looks absolutely delicious!
I bought some dried chiles recently and didn't know what to do with them. I'm trying this dish right now!
I love how every grannies always make their own pasta. It really does taste better
Frugal is an interesting word! The simplicity was lovely too. I like it simple every time.
I’m from Turin, so glad I found these out 🤩❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully done! The sauce and the pasta. I am sure it is delicious! Thank you pasta grannies!
Another winning video and fabulous home cook.
This looks like a perfect snowed in on a winter day project. Fabulous! Thanks for sharing! :)
The making of the pasta is just so skilful. I could never imagine learning how to do that!
More Arbereshe recipes please
Oh my gosh again!!!! Another unique pasta by a master! This looks so delicious!
That looks way too good, I think I will be trying that recipe soon.
No need for machinery....hands with the perfect skills are just fine .. for a fresh and simple dish.
My Arbereshe grandma never owned a pasta machine
Do another video with her speaking herself in Arbereshe 😍Albanian it's so pleasant
This is a very lovely traditional pasta that I ever see. Yes, this is absolutely delicious.
these recipies are like finding little bits of heaven here on earth
Italy kitchen has Power
Yummy, I totally love pasta !!!
Please tell Maria that this recipe is one of my faves to make!
hi Katrina, yes I'll pass the message on 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Love to see what kind of food arises when cultures mix!
My grandparents were from another Arbereshe village in Calabria, but I never saw my grandmother make this type of pasta. There were always plenty of peppers, though.
These aunties are so cute and wholesome 🥰
This is one of the reasons why in Italy it is always worth eating in a "trattoria" especially if the owner says: "A lady makes me these..."
Great tip, I will definitely remember this if I ever make it to Italia.
That pasta seems to be so good.
