I am smiling from ear to ear. Pasta Grannies and Vicky have been such a source of inspiration and light for me this past year. And to see that Dan shares that joy makes me so happy. ☺️
I love Pasta Grannies, and have started doing a lot of pasta after watching them. Double Zero flour is easy to find if you have an Italian food store in the area.
Thank you so much for turning me on to the Pasta Grannies. I’m of Italian heritage so I’m always attracted to Italian food, especially pasta. God bless those beautiful, hard working woman who fed their big families the most scrumptious food in the simplest of ways. I’ve never heard of most of these dishes, nonetheless, I marveled at how they made them. And the grannie who was 101 years old blew me away! I should have 1/2 her energy. Can’t wait to pass these videos to all my friends. I just learned about pasatelli and it turned out to be the very first video, wow!
Ada is amazing! I first learned how to make fresh pasta back in 2017! Made it with AP flour and whew...rolling it out with a rolling pin was an eye opening (and muscle building) experience! Still roll my pasta out with a pin but it definitely gets easier the more and more you do it. Making your own pasta is something I recommend everyone do at least once. Super rewarding!
I love Dan! He makes it easy to understand and do things that I would have thought impossible. The food is beautiful. I am going to try my hand at pasta making.
If Ada offered me pasta lessons, Dan, I’d probably bolt for Ferrara too! What a great episode. Also, it occurs to me that if Sra. Ada is making dough with a significant proportion of semolina in it and rolling it out by hand, she must be very strong!
Thank you for honoring the tradition of the Nonna. So many memories of my own Nonna revolve around the magic she created with simple ingredients in the kitchen.
Always looking forward to Dan's videos. This reminds me of my 83 -year-old mom who makes noodles weekly with a long rolling pin just like granny Ada does pasta.
Dan, this is a great video and I really enjoyed seeing you and Ada. This is exactly how my mom would make pasta although her rolling pin was not nearly as long. Ada must be very strong. The action of hanging the dough over the side is very important and one I use too. My maternal grandmother also made it this way and would make many many ravioli. Since she didn't have a large place to lay them out, they were put on top of a freshly cleaned and ironed sheet on top of the bed. Just picture a whole bed full of ravioli! As a child it was my job to seal them with a fork. Dan if I were you I would get your butt to Italy and stay with Ada, that is something you should not miss! Or come to my house in FL and we will make ravioli. Xo
BEST episode EVER! The Pasta Grannies (although a few stupidly young men folk have featured along the way) collab ... GENIUS. Thank you to all involved for providing a comforting end to a strenuously long and tiresome day. If only their diet was prescribed here on the UK's NHS, I'd be out of work - but I'd be glad of it.
Oooo that’s how my grandma made pasta dough-ravioli dough. We sat at the table, rolled a little, filled and cut them to her guidance. Wow way back back.
Mmmmmmm! I LOVE, LOVE PASTA, and make it instead of boxed pasta unless it’s a shape I can’t make. I even have the Kitchen Aid pasta extractor for some of those pastas. Best thing is, you can put anything on pasta and have a marvelous quick and easy meal! Viva Italiano! Thanks Dan. Will check the nonnie’s videos! My favorites are a meaty pasta like rigatoni, cavatelli, ravioli, fettuccine, etc.
Dan, you are so much fun-perfect blend of laughs and learning. This is your best one yet( and I’ve watched the donut one six times at least). Keep ‘em coming.
My story is laughably basic, but I returned from my first visit to Italy (Lombardi) with the realization that Italian pasta is cooked al dente (I mean, really al dente). And it’s served in ceramic bowls with very deep wells to hold everything in place, especially the heat. And I’m returning in April!
I suggest you actually use Pasta Grannies techniques instead. Despite what Dan saw/learned, he still tried to put a fancy twist on classics. Twists that are not authentic or necessary.
Thankyou for all your information and sharing with us. Also the lioness and enjoyment you bring. Sometimes we forget that cooking can be fun, healthy and most of don't look at cooking like that.
Great video! Love Pasta Grannies. Amazing how this technique is incredibly similar to the one used by Soba noodle makers in Japan. They use two long rolling pins. But many of the movements are identical.
Thanks for this video. I'm inspired to make homemade pasta again; it's been a while. I have a Marcato Atlas 150 hand cranked pasta roller/cutter for small batches, as well as a Marcato Pasta Fresca electric mixer/roller/cutter for larger batches, but I really need to practice making it by hand, as my grandmother taught me to how do more than 50 years ago.
Great episode Dan! I’m inspired to cook my wife a dinner with fresh pasta, butter and cheese. Have you thought about doing an episode on vanilla? There’s French, Mexican, Madagascar, vanilla bean, etc. It’s popularity and some common or uncommon uses.
Thanks for this episode! We have a pasta attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer but haven't found a recipe I like for the dough. Now I have one, thanks Dan (and Ada).
All of those fancy well known celebrity chefs can take a backseat! The Italian Grandma is the TRUE Master Chef!!! 👩🏻🍳🇮🇹! Wow! She makes the same combined flour pasta dough as I do and I’m not even Italian!!! 😁👍! I’m excited! Mine is never as thin as her masterpiece, however. Having a passion is foundational. Thank you Ada!!!
During lockdown 20 I spent hours daily working on my pasta. I got pretty good at it. The tragedy was that I couldn't share it with anyone. The more practice you do the easier it gets.
omgosh, thank you Dan & Ada ( Ada is so beautiful! ) Dan, if Ada is serious about teaching you, you HAVE to go! I’d leave in a heartbeat, too. As a matter of fact, if you guys need help doing dishes, keeping the kitchen clean, washing & folding laundry, sweeping, dusting, tending the garden ~ I’m free! It would be heaven!
👏Magnifico, great episode magnifico. Like many things, baking bread/pie crust is a lost art. 🤔you didn't actually go to Italy, was looking forward to seeing you in a cheesy (pun intended) Italian character mustache. That's 1 egg per cup of flour, like my pancake recipe
You know Ada would tell Dan that he's too skinny. He'd come back from Italy a bit thicker. 🤣 Mangia! Thanks for highlighting Pasta Grannies. I have been following them for about a year.
Love you and your work, Dan.You are a real pro ... but... uh... the thing is... you're not a... well... pro comedian. I mean... have fun, sure, but... uh, I kinda wanna fast forward through the parts where you're trying to get laughs. Keep on cookin'!!
The whole Central Asians, Mongolians and the region also use the same length of a pasta pin to make pasta sheets. You make it look like only Italians.have this technique. Please do your research
Thank you Dan for joining us - next time, please get on that plane! 😀🌺
Dan's late to the Grannies! Italia Squisita another favorite for humor and great Italian!
I have been following you for a year. Thank you for what you do. It's so awesome that someone is preserving these cooking techniques for posterity.
Oh I will! Thank you again. Such a pleasure.
Dan has a great track record going for guests. Kenji, James Hoffman, and now a Pasta Granny! Keep this up, please!
Grannie, not Granny.
Absolutely! I love all the collaborations!
OMG I screamed!! Pasta Grannies are my favorite!!
Dan has Ada for inspiration, we are lucky we have Dan!
I ❤ Dan's humor (and knowledge) so much!

Aww, Dan is so cute and funny, and his vids are always full of so much info. The "please stand by" section was hilarious!!🥰
I love Dan! He makes it easy to understand and do things that I would have thought impossible. The food is beautiful. I am going to try my hand at pasta making.
This is the best segment that America's Test Kitchen's youtube channel currently has.
Two channels I love Pasta Grannies & What's Eating Dan in the best of all mashups. 👍
@pastagrannies is absolutely one of my favorite channels. Thanks for the collab.
Humble and elegant. I want to be a cook like her.
A food tour to Italy with Dan….genius.
Bravo Dan! Come sempre ti amo!! Voglio mangiare questa pasta con te. Gran' baccio!!
Dan & pasta grannies! Two of my favorites! And p.s., we just ran away from home and are living in Italy so it doesn't have to be just a dream!
My two favorite UA-cam channels combine!! Heaven!! 😍
If Ada offered me pasta lessons, Dan, I’d probably bolt for Ferrara too! What a great episode. Also, it occurs to me that if Sra. Ada is making dough with a significant proportion of semolina in it and rolling it out by hand, she must be very strong!
Thank you for honoring the tradition of the Nonna. So many memories of my own Nonna revolve around the magic she created with simple ingredients in the kitchen.
What an absolutely delightful episode! 🤗
Oh my gosh…I was not ready for this crossover episode of my two favorite channels!!!!
Dream collab! I follow and love both these channels. Much love to hand-rollers everywhere.
Always looking forward to Dan's videos. This reminds me of my 83 -year-old mom who makes noodles weekly with a long rolling pin just like granny Ada does pasta.
Outstanding! Charming, funny and educational all at the same time.

Mi piace molto questo video!
I just love that guy! Absolute riot and a great teacher!
Honestly moving to Italy to make pasta every day sounds like the best personal and professional decision you could ever make. DO IT
Fun and inspirational and educational. You can’t beat that.
Thank you for documenting and sharing the interview/demo. Wonderful. Cultural, culinary, human. Thanks.
There was so much love in this episode. ❤️ Thank you.
Sage butter with fresh pasta once almost made me cry because it was so good. Highly recommend.
Oooo that’s how my grandma made pasta dough-ravioli dough. We sat at the table, rolled a little, filled and cut them to her guidance. Wow way back back.

Pasta Grannies is such a wonderful channel.
Thank you!!!!!!
Awesome episode Dan! I have always wanted to try to make my own pasta but never had the nerve.
Thank you. I really love this series and it's always informative
I laughed so hard when Dan mentioned that her rolling pin was older than him. Well, yeah lol
I learned so much from this episode! Can't wait to get into the kitchen. Thanks!
I suggest you actually use Pasta Grannies techniques instead. Despite what Dan saw/learned, he still tried to put a fancy twist on classics. Twists that are not authentic or necessary.
Oh my, that pumpkin pasta looks soooooo good.
Thankyou for all your information and sharing with us. Also the lioness and enjoyment you bring. Sometimes we forget that cooking can be fun, healthy and most of don't look at cooking like that.
DA! This was AWESOME! I love Ada! You should definitely take her up on her invitation! In the mean time, I'll give this pasta a try! looks delish!
Grazie Ada! Lei ha fatto la pasta deliziosa.
Great video! Love Pasta Grannies. Amazing how this technique is incredibly similar to the one used by Soba noodle makers in Japan. They use two long rolling pins. But many of the movements are identical.
Great video Dan!
Dan. Thank you for pronouncing the Italian words correctly.
Pasta Grannies has a new video every Friday. Even if you don't make pasta (like me) it is wonderful to watch.
Great episode, Dan! I learned quite a bit and can't wait to make my next batch of fresh pasta.
I also ❤ Pasta Grannies!
Thanks for this video. I'm inspired to make homemade pasta again; it's been a while. I have a Marcato Atlas 150 hand cranked pasta roller/cutter for small batches, as well as a Marcato Pasta Fresca electric mixer/roller/cutter for larger batches, but I really need to practice making it by hand, as my grandmother taught me to how do more than 50 years ago.
Daaan thank you for the wonderful episode! We need an other one, equally detailed, about the water based pasta dough ❤
Great episode Dan! I’m inspired to cook my wife a dinner with fresh pasta, butter and cheese. Have you thought about doing an episode on vanilla? There’s French, Mexican, Madagascar, vanilla bean, etc. It’s popularity and some common or uncommon uses.
Anyone else’s mouth watering from just watching this?
Thanks for this episode! We have a pasta attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer but haven't found a recipe I like for the dough. Now I have one, thanks Dan (and Ada).
Brilliant lessons!!! Great Thanks!!!
All of those fancy well known celebrity chefs can take a backseat! The Italian Grandma is the TRUE Master Chef!!! 👩🏻🍳🇮🇹!

That's the most beautiful video I have ever seen from ATK . She is Amazing 😘💖💝✟✡✟ 🇺🇸
Great episode Dan!
I would be there in a heartbeat!
omgosh, thank you Dan & Ada
( Ada is so beautiful! )
Dan, if Ada is serious about teaching you, you HAVE to go! I’d leave in a heartbeat, too.
As a matter of fact, if you guys need help doing dishes, keeping the kitchen clean, washing & folding laundry, sweeping, dusting, tending the garden ~ I’m free! It would be heaven!
An other fantastic content :) I'm big fan of yours. If you ever decide to come to Italy consider to pass trough Bologna. It would be amazing!!!
So very awesome!
I love pasta grannies!!!
👏Magnifico, great episode magnifico. Like many things, baking bread/pie crust is a lost art. 🤔you didn't actually go to Italy, was looking forward to seeing you in a cheesy (pun intended) Italian character mustache. That's 1 egg per cup of flour, like my pancake recipe
That roller reminds me of the one my Italian Grandfather used to use..
Dan is so damn funny, love all his videos..
When using the kitchen aid…. What’s the FINAL setting to use before shredding for the pasta dish?
Beautiful . awww blessings. ❤🙏👍✌🍁🌻
You know Ada would tell Dan that he's too skinny. He'd come back from Italy a bit thicker. 🤣 Mangia!
Thanks for highlighting Pasta Grannies. I have been following them for about a year.
Greetings Dan!
When my favorite foodie worlds collide!!
Dan.... is good !!
And for those of you who don't know, Vicky has one book out, but number 2 will be out very soon!
This is too funny but if you take me with you, I will help you escape 😂
That's funny . dude. . ✌😂
This woman is 82????? - unbelievable ☺️
🌿🙏❤🌿
I ❤Dan lol
When professional Japanese soba makers roll soba, they use very long rolling pins too!
очень интересно)
Cool. Ty. 🙏✌👍🌟
Where do you buy the machine that make spaghetti
Bob's Red Mill makes "00" flour. And semolina, too.
6:25 let dan be free!! Free Dan!!
Would love to make this kind of fresh pasta but with the price if eggs right now, no way can l do 6+ egg yolks 😢
Love you and your work, Dan.You are a real pro ... but... uh... the thing is... you're not a... well... pro comedian. I mean... have fun, sure, but... uh, I kinda wanna fast forward through the parts where you're trying to get laughs. Keep on cookin'!!
Dan, I think you mean roll out the 3-in piece to a rectangle, not a square.
(Yes, I have ADD 🤦🏼♂️)
Would love a video on making gluten free pasta, I know several people who are allergic to gluten
12:41 Dimitrescu?
Spaghetti = strings, plural.
Spaghetto = string, singular.
Bro I thought you were really going
The whole Central Asians, Mongolians and the region also use the same length of a pasta pin to make pasta sheets. You make it look like only Italians.have this technique. Please do your research
Maybe we all need to slow down and listen to the food we’re cooking.
So don’t make the other recipe they have?
