    For the pasta, use 3 eggs, 150g 00 flour and 150 durum wheat semola flour
    For the filling, use 500g baked pumpkin flesh, 200g grated parmigiano reggiano cheese, nutmeg and a teaspoon of sugar
    For the sauce, use 500g good quality sausage meat, one onion, one carrot, one stick celery, 200ml tomato passata, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, rosemary, 100ml white wine.

    Wow! Ada doesn't look like she is 81. I noticed what good posture she has - I wonder what was her line of work. The massive sfoglia is amazing, too. All of these nonnas make it look so easy!

      She did look completely in charge and straight-backed as she was rolling out the dough. The news that she was a competitor was not surprising. Each dish I see brings me cravings but this dish in particular looks spectacular. Does Ada cook for visitors?

    • @giovannisantostasi9615
      @giovannisantostasi9615 Год назад +1

      Yeah, she is a farmer, Italy was mostly a farmer culture in the past. Many of the recipes in Italy have a farmer's origin.

    @rlt94 2 года назад +9

    The flavor combination of a sharp aged cheese like Parmesan and a sweet spice like nutmeg is something that dates back at least to the cooking of the Italian renaissance.

    • @meredithheath5272
      @meredithheath5272 2 года назад +2

      I had never heard of this combination! ( I put red peppers, and Hungarian Paprika in my tomato sauce, but, I eat less cheese and no meat.)
      I'm going to try this combination with nutmeg!

  • @pliny8308
    @pliny8308 2 года назад +12

    This is the kind of perfectionism and attention to detail I saw in my mother and aunt and grandmother and great-aunts. The eggs mass produced are different from the ones your own chickens produce on a completely "clean" diet, both in size and albumin, so the amount of flour used will differ. One of my cousins moved to Switzerland. When his mother came to visit, she brought her own flour and eggs, mortadella, tomato passata, etc., but the tortellini still weren't perfect. Next time she brought the water for boiling them too. :) My husband always said he could never get used to what he called our "obsession" with perfection, but he has sure always loved the finished product.

    • @smamat79

    I like how everything she does has a reason and she fully understands that reason, she doesn't do anything just because that’s how she was taught. I've never seen anyone with a collection of Mattarello and rolling pins before, I just have the three, a 100cm Mattarello, a traditional British rolling pin and a 60cm French.

      I am an American who lived in Siena Italy for study one year. The food was so gloriously fresh and flavorful, and when I returned to the States, I had those fresh flavors still in my palate. Months later, I attended an Italian Festival in a neighborhood in Chicago, but sadly was so very disappointed in what I had to eat. There were a lot of starchy offerings like thick crust pizza, spaghetti, and a few types of sandwiches with thick slices of pastrami, but nothing fresh or particularly good.

    Ms. Vicky, once again a great video with the dear soul Ms. Ada, we would have many variations to this recipe here in Appalachia, this most significant one would be the use of the pumpkin( our pasta is more simple also) & although we tend to like it more in a dessert ie: pie, pudding, etc... we opt for the squashes for supper, butternut, spaghetti, acorn, etc...it is very delicious though & our sausage can be nearly the same, but there are many varieties depending on availability, God Bless all, please stay safe

    While some of these women are really amazing, they are not as unusual as Italian women go (at least the generation up to the age of my mother, that is she is not in her 70s).
    Italian mothers are amazing chefs that could put to shame some of the best Michelin star restaurants.
