  • This episode is double carb heaven! These tortelli are filled with cheesy potato and served with a meat ragu. They are served with a meat ragu and are a speciality of Mugello, a town just north of Florence. Silvana shows us how to make them.

    Hi Vicky, I have been ploughing through these videos for some months now, I think they are among the best food videos on You Tube. In fact it is far more than that. This is a compendium, a resource, an archive, a video museum for posterity, of so much of Italy's domestic food heritage. Which I guess is under threat, like all domestic traditions in the developed world. Impressive work.

    wouldn't it be great to have these wonderful cooks show a picture of themselves as young women so we can see what live wires they have become? these women have come through a war and privation and can still enjoy their lives and work hard and have their friends and relatives there helping and taste testing. i just love each and every video and woman showing her specialty. this is a very special channel for me. thank you very much.

    One of the many lessons I’ve learned from watching these videos is how any sauce is used as an additional flavoring and not necessarily a feature - the pasta features. In America we tend to ladle on sauce until our pasta swims in it.
    The pasta featured today is something I’d love to try. Thank you!

    • @pastagrannies

      Yes, that's true. I like the Italian word condimento, or dressing, as it implies a sparing use of the sauce. best wishes, Vicky

    Vicky, great recipe, i only watch 9 or 10 food related sites and this is one of them. I have not missed a video since subscribing, even go back and watch pre subscribtion videos. Look forward every friday to this and learning. Folks are shocked when i tell them in italy, if they make pasta, sauce , meatballs, they eat pasta and sauce 1st, meatballs are eaten as main entree after pasta, or in italy, they have no idea what al fredo sauce is, it was created in san francisco, they are shocked. I always here them say, really ?, love all you ladies, God bless.

    • @michaelquinn3878
      @michaelquinn3878 5 лет назад +5

      These videos ARE great, though I wish there was a bit more info about the grannies themselves, their locations, etc. Now, about this Alfredo myth: it was NOT created in SF, but in Rome, though it is not known as Alfredo outside a couple of central Roman restaurants. Also, there are areas of Italy where meatballs are eaten with pasta, though it is not common, and usually in the south.
      Here is the Alfredo story from Wikipedia, and you can find this same history in RELIABLE cookbooks dealing with pasta or Roman food:
      Modern fettuccine Alfredo was invented by Alfredo di Lelio in Rome. According to family accounts, in 1892 Alfredo di Lelio began to work in a restaurant that was located in piazza Rosa and run by his mother Angelina. Di Lelio invented "fettuccine al triplo burro"[3] (later named "fettuccine all'Alfredo" or "fettuccine Alfredo") in 1907 or 1908 in an effort to entice his wife, Ines, to eat after giving birth to their first child Armando. Alfredo added extra butter or "triplo burro” to the fettuccine when mixing it together for her.[8][9][10] Piazza Rosa disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna/Sordi and the restaurant was forced to close. Di Lelio later opened his own restaurant, Alfredo alla Scrofa then called "Alfredo", in 1914 on the via della Scrofa in central Rome.

      @@stevelogan5475 There is a lot of misinformation regarding Italian food, even here in Italy where recipes can change every 200 meters, or even just across the street. There is no "real" Italian food, but a collection of regional foods, hundreds of them! And the folks in the south don't know much if anything about food from the north, or even from 25 miles distant! My dad, who made pizza from scratch beginning in the very early 1960s...very exotic...used to say that pizza was invented in the USA which, of course, I learned was BS. Now, about those potatoes! I learned to cook at age 10 just so I could make my own potato-based snacks after school! RE: meatballs...in the south, they often make tiny ones for use in lasagne! Ciao!

    Why not more info about the grannies and the cultural and geographic context where they live? Like, explain "Mugello", the area just north and east of Firenze. A bit more meat on these bones would really enrich these delightful clips. Thanks for the series! Hey, come to Ascoli Piceno where this weekend is carnevale, and a special traditional ravioli is served called ravioli di gallina, or AKA, ravioli incaciati. I had some yesterday and they were scrumptious...filled with chicken and shaped a bit like a chicken's head, complete with comb!

    • @michaelquinn3878
      @michaelquinn3878 5 лет назад +3

      @Elishia Montenegro We both know how little those outside Italy know about "real" food in Italy. A little more context, cultural, if not personal, and geographic would be helpful. As I mentioned, how many know what "mugello" refers to, or where these come from (I know the answer to both questions is the same!), and it would help in the education process. In my work with Brazilian and Italian music, I've always tried to entertain AND educate, the education part can be disguised in the entertainment and the audience will be none the wiser! Also just my opinion, but I've been in this unofficial education business for nearly 50 years!

    • @pastagrannies

      hi Michael (and Elishia). We have filmed ravioli incaciati but I haven't made it to Ascoli Piceno for Carnevale. If you know of any women willing to be filmed for next year please let me know 😊 Regarding more information, yes it would be fab to do that. It's a question of capacity my side of things - moving to the TV style of episode making needs more time, more planning, more people - and thus more money. I will try and do more of that though. best wishes, Vicky

      If the dough is well done and the filling is compact and not wet (if the pasta is filled) the pasta dries up and don't loose texture. For example: if you cook just made egg and flour pasta, you have to cook in boiling salted water 2-3 minutes for tagliatelle and similar, 4-5 for filled pasta; if the pasta is dried (I use to preserve pasta over a wood or cardboard plate, in a dry and cool place, covered with a canvas for 2-3 days) you add 2-3 minutes.

      The wine adds acidity to the tomatoes. I think the wine can be used if you have sweet meat, like lamb, young pig or goat (kid). Alternatively, you can boil the wine separately, in another pan, before adding it to the main preparation: in this way the wine oxidizes and deacidifizes.

      Hello Ray, tomato passata (passata di pomodoro) is uncooked tomatoes with the pips and skin removed; families bottle large quantities in late summer all over Italy. Tomato paste is also called tomato concentrate, or concentrato di pomodoro. In Sicily they make estratto by salting the passata and drying it on boards in the sun. You can use passata and concentrato in a dish, or one or the other, depending on the flavour you want. best wishes, Vicky
