Oh what a heavenly dish! So simple & elegant. In the past when I've been lucky enough to find or buy a truffle I've kept it in a box with my eggs until I'm ready to use it. It imparts that wonderful truffle scent/taste through the shells in only a day or two. Eaten on their own the eggs taste wonderful for things like omelettes, souffle or shirred eggs, but you can also do things like using the truffle imbued eggs in your pasta dough. Then the pasta has a truffle taste of its own. I'll bet that was a lunch to remember though!? Good food, wine & company are always best when mixed together.
I was born and raised in Australia to Southern Italian parents, and we often only ever hear stories of northern and southern Italians disliking each other. This, for me, was a feel-good story in more ways than one. Firstly I love that Giovanna still speaks some Calabrese and hasn't lost her accent, secondly, I love that you have shown a positive unification of both northern and southern Italians. Lastly, I love that the sauce is simple but luxurious and refined, with a few key ingredients. Thank you.
Giovanna's beautiful eyes and gorgeous smile touch my heart! I adore grandmothers in general, but Italian nonne are special. ♥♥♥ (And the pasta looks magnificent!)
I've never looked for truffle here in the USA. I have heard they are delicious. I like to make pasta with olive oil and herbs. I'll have to try butter.
What a delightful episode, I'd actually love an accompanying episode someday on their wine production. And I fully agree with that final remark: the one shaving the truffle has to use his common sense.
I highly recommend to everyone to go on a truffle hunt in Le Langhe. A walk with a dog in one of the most beautiful places on earth. On my last trip there were 2 dogs, one 'in training'. When the dog found a black truffle he was rewarded with a dog biscuit. When he found a white truffle...he got a piece of Parmigiano.
One pricey dish this one would be to order at a restaurant in Longhe... from the truffles to the Barolo wine to the beautiful scenery to her pretty face and priceless smile... Love that dog ❤ Thanks for sharing the links.
hi Laura, you are absolutely right, but despite stiff competition from dog, truffle and wine, Giovanna was still the star of the day! best wishes, Vicky
This wonderful video felt like we were there at lunch with you, if only! such lovely people and how easy Giovanna made it look. I just love the simplicity of Italian cooking more love than ingredients. Last weeks video prompted me to make cavatelli for dinner and not some fresh truffle would be nice, but we can dream. Did I hear the word Barolo concerning the wine, how wonderful, you must have really enjoyed that lovely lunch Vicky, Ramon.
hi Ramon, it was a very special lunch with a lovely bunch of people. I love the Barolo region and I'm always looking for reasons to travel through it - to buy the wines and the hazelnuts! best wishes, Vicky
Beauty and simplicity. I noticed that wine is served in moderate amounts with a meal, not bucket sized glasses as in the States. I am an American teetotaler, but when I lived in Siena, Italy I had a small glass of wine with dinner. It complements the food so perfectly.
Hi 👋 Vicky! Lucky 🍀 you! One of the best dishes you can eat in the entire world 🌎. I have it sometimes when I spend some time in Piedmont (my mum is from there). I notice that the old lady uses the whole eggs, but I know the old traditional recipe requires “just” 32 or 33 egg yolks per each kilogram of flour. If you add a generous amount of butter, a cardiologist would not agree, but … What a queen/king lunch.
hi Andrea, yes it was a very special lunch. The 'large number of egg yolks' version of tajarin I have always thought to be a restaurant tradition, but now that you mention it maybe the egg whites were used in wine clarification, and adding the yolks to pasta was a way of using them up? best wishes, Vicky
Questi video rimarranno un patrimonio storico 👏👏🇮🇹
OMG!!! My almost-neighbour!!! I can't believe. I travel almost every day in front of her house and I can see her house from my house
hi Fabio you live in a beautiful part of the world 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

yes you're right: keeping a truffle amongst the eggs is probably the best thing to do with a truffle! best wishes, Vicky
Pasta. Truffles. Their own wine. Adoring family. You hit a 10! I love the smiling and laughing grannies in the intro. God bless!
Das Gute liegt im Einfachen!
Gute Zutaten ergeben immer ein gutes Essen!
Danke für dieses Video 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰
After watching your intro to this one, I think you need to make a reel of all your grannies just laughing.
it's what the intro achieves already
@@zaubergarden6900 Which I obviously referred to.
I love when they are smiling and laughing, too.
Oh….I love how Giovanna’s eyes twinkled and smiled!! Her pasta dish would surely make me smile! It looked absolutely delicious! TFS, Sharon🤗♥️
Ah, a kindred spirit! Like Giovanna, I prefer to use the pasta machine, too 😅🥰 Looks delicious! 😋😍
Yeah looks delicious
Would love to have some of that 😋😅
By the way I’m James
I am enthusiastic about this episode. Truffles!
Che dolce signora! Si preocupa che gli altri guardano mentre loro mangiano. Troppo dolce!

Giovannas has very kind eyes. Pasta looks tasty❤

I don't know, do we even have them here?
Taglierini fatti in casa e tartufo: un lusso, un privilegio ✨!!! Giovanna é di una bellezza d'altri tempi ❤❤❤❤!!!!
Beautiful land, beautiful lady, beautiful meal!!!!
Watching Giovanna makes me miss watching my 2 grandmothers cook pasta or as we said macaroni.
I called it macaroni until well into adulthood when pasta became a trendy word.
yes, macaroni, minestra.. the consensus around 'pasta' is fairly recent. best wishes, Vicky
What a delightful episode, I'd actually love an accompanying episode someday on their wine production. And I fully agree with that final remark: the one shaving the truffle has to use his common sense.
hi Simon, yes it would be fun to film a the wine harvest. best wishes, Vicky
Old authentic women are beautiful!:!!
So very true…🙏🏼

Giovanna is so pretty at 88 and must have been a real beauty when young. Her smiling eyes are so beautiful.
One of the more simpler dishes, but surely made that truffle (almost) the star of the show! What more do you want? XOXO love you Pasta Grannies
hi Laura, you are absolutely right, but despite stiff competition from dog, truffle and wine, Giovanna was still the star of the day! best wishes, Vicky
The color of the yolks always amaze me 😮🥹
bravissima Giovanna,un abbraccio
Why was I not invited?!? The Langhe region is a gem.
🤭✌️
Found these on fb this morning and came straight to youtube for more cos I'm officially obsessed with these women ❤

@@pastagrannies Deeply jelous😊. Thank you for letting us share.
More joy. I love how your videos remind us about the simple beauty of life. What a lovely nona and spectacular pasta!
"What a special lunch." Indeed!
Another wonderful Friday treat. Brava.
Wish I had a hundred Pasta Grannies.
Che meraviglia! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ms. Vicky, another lovely pasta granny, this dish looks good, sorry , but we have no recipe in Appalchia like this, God Bless you all
Beauty and simplicity. I noticed that wine is served in moderate amounts with a meal, not bucket sized glasses as in the States. I am an American teetotaler, but when I lived in Siena, Italy I had a small glass of wine with dinner. It complements the food so perfectly.
That’s an expensive dish! I think very few had it with that generous amount of Truffle. Buon appetito 🎉
"What a special lunch." Is that what we call an understatement, despite the fact I don’t drink even the wine looked amazing.
That is one very pricey but delicious dish! Buon appetito!
What a pretty lady Giovanna is!
مشاء الله ربي يبارك🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
She never rasred it!
Another great video!!
I love this channel! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Wow… That looks delicious!
Hhhh...that must taste so good. Pretty sure there've been some wars fought over dishes like that.
That,
Is my Idea of a heavenly meat 😍

Perfecto❤❤❤❤
Absolutely lovely!
