    FAQ:
    Who is this lady?
    Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
    Where does Gina get her recipes?
    Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
    Why is no one helping her in the video?
    Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
    Why don’t we buy her a new...?
    Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
    Who is behind the camera?
    Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
    Does Gina read the comments?
    We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
    Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!

And I would get so excited when she would let me put my little hands in the well, to bring the eggs and flour together! I used to run away though, when it was time to shape the thousands of cavatelli ! I hated that job. Today we got the extra treat of you singing, and also of speaking a little Italian! Per piacere, please make one video where you speak completely in Italian!! And it never fails, never do you make a video where I don't cry-------but they are always happy tears of happy memories!

    I am so grateful to have found this channel. I am almost 40 years old now. I was so fortunate to have been able to spend so much time with not only all my grandparents but some of my great grandparents as well. I was so close to them all and learned so much from them. I can pick out parts of my personality that each of them shaped. Listening to and learning from them was no doubt among my best decisions in life. Seems like when i was young many young people dont see the value in learning from our older friends and relatives. Now as an adult it seems that kids are even less interested in things like this. Im very grateful this family for sharing all of this with us on UA-cam. I think its so great that her family takes the time to produce these videos. This information is priceless.

    Great video and thanks for bringing back memories. I remember making these with my grandmother when I was little. We also called them gavadeels too! I thought no one but my family knew that word, everyone else thinks it's gnocci.

    I used to make this with my husband and my son when he was little! Brings back memories! My son used to turn the handle of the cavatelli machine and watch it come out! We made it with Ricotta cheese which made them so light! Delicious!!! Thank you Gina for all that you show us how to make. I love your cooking!! You are absolutely wonderful!!

    I love the traditional demo so much, but I appreciate the demo using the machine since that is the method I will use. Her singing is sublime, especially since I can't sing to save my life. Her joy when she sings is contagious. I've got to also say that the final dish is to die for! My mouth was watering while watching her eat it. Gina isn't kidding about being loved all over the world for very good and very obvious reasons. What a treasure!

      Charlene Thacker I was rather mesmerized watching her when she was using two thumbs and the pasta was flying by. I just love this lady and want to applaud whomever had the insight to start filming her. I wonder if they knew how far her reach would be. They must have been thinking it would be lovely for family to have to always keep but so many people from all over love watching her cook and chat and sing. She’s the grandma everyone wishes they had. ❤️

    Gina, thank you so much, I’m 67 and you bring back such wonderful memories of my own sweet Italian grandma! My father’s family immigrated from Sicily in the early 1900’s. He was one of 9 children growing up during the depression. Sunday’s and holidays were always spent at grandma’s , boy what a madhouse with all those cousins. She had such patience with us. I’m definitely going to try this recipe. I had been searching for a cavatelli recipe to try out my cavatelli machine I found at the second hand store and what a surprise when I found your recipe. Thanks again, your family is truly blessed to have you. God bless!

    Like yours and the kids were given a fork to roll them off and it was a race to see who could sweep the biggest batch to the middle. Love your videos!!!

      @@BuonAPetitti I had to go find their marriage certificate from 1915 here in Ohio to double check everyone's names. My great grandpa's full name Nicolino Angelo Anthony Altieri. His parents were Raphael and Donata (Paria). My great grandma's name was Antonetta Prospera Castielli. Her parents were Joseph and Castanza (Perrini). I can't wait to hear back from you to see if we are family! 🥰

    • @BuonAPetitti
      @BuonAPetitti  4 роки тому

      Altieri, Castielli, Parrini are all names I remember from Faeto. The Altieri family is part of my husbands family. As I mentioned my mother in law was an Altieri. The Altieri's of my generations have moved to other areas of Italy. I'm sure if we go back a couple of generations we will find our families are distant cousins. You will find many from Faeto over the generations have moved all over the world. Life was difficult in Faeto so they went out in search of a better life. Thank you for watching. God Bless you and your family.

The recipes are the kind that grandmothers never write down. Watching her is a life lesson, and makes me feel like I’m spending time with my own grandmother who passed away a few years ago. I miss her dearly, but the love shown here is so similar! I tear up sometimes because it’s so comforting. These are the kinds of lessons that I hope to share with my children and their children some day. Thank you and your family so much for sharing her videos. She’s a true blessing! 🙏🏻
