  • This pasta is unique to one small town in Sardinia called Usini. Twirly andarinos is a tricky pasta shape to make and they are always served with a meat sauce. Francesca shares her recipe.
    For the pasta: 500g semola rimacinata, 225ml water (just under 50% hydration, increase to 250ml if necessary), a pinch of salt
    For the meat sauce: one onion, 250g stewing pork, 250g casserole beef, ground mixed spices (nutmeg, clove, anise or fennel, coriander), 3 bay leaves, 500ml passata, water as needed, salt and pepper.

      Thank you! I am always keen to make a 'new to me' pasta shape so I can then describe better what's involved. In this case, you will have to pay close attention to the visuals, though Cicitta's description of what I was doing wrong is helpful 😅 Both women are lovely and patient and I think making the pasta together is key to its pleasure. best wishes, Vicky

    Lived with a Sardinian family and always have tried to recreate this . Easily my favourite . Pork shoulder or neck + beef chuck . Lasaporita is cloves + nutmeg + star anise + caraway seeds + coriander seeds + cinnamon . Trial an error to get correct balance . Easy to overdo the nutmeg/cloves/cinnamon .
    This video has helped me feel like I can finally recreate that homely meal I loved so much . Keep it up !

    These grannies should be celebrated, celebrated, much more. I was sad that this grannie sounded so eager to get positive feedback from the taster! She clearly has multiple talents and should be proud and confident of her skills, experience, and training. We need more older adults to know that they are vibrant, vital members of our society. They need to embrace themselves, and we need to embrace them, too. I can't get enough of these strong, successful women.

    It often occurs to me to marvel at the creativity of the Italian nonne, who, from a few ingredients like flour and either oil, water, or some eggs, can create such an infinite variety of shapes. Their dexterity is also a wonder to behold.
    I'm quite interested in the spices they put in the meat sauce. I think they said coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, and perhaps something else. That's a very Medieval combination, and far from the herbs currently used. Other than this, offhand I can only think of one other use of such spices today: the nutmeg we use in Emilian Romagna in our tortellini and some other dishes.

    Pane of ridged glass from the bottom shelves fridges what an ingenious upcycled kitchen gadget to make Andorinos!
    And the rustic, bread dough kneading machine...a treasure from the past.
    There is so much that I observe and learn from Pasta Grannies. As for instance beautiful , remote villages like Usini, about which I would never have other wise known,
    or discovered cheery Nonas whose laughter is infectious, and as equally disarming is the warmth with which they welcome you.
    I love being walked through their kitchens exuding colour and charachter.
    And I love looking at the pretty hand embroidered aprons, which each Nonna proudly dons while making the different types of pasta.
    Like Ada's when she makes cappellacchi with pumpkin.
    Gracias Vicky for the effort you put in.

    You can (sort of) see that she's moving her thumb sideways and rolling at the same time. It kind of extrudes the dough under her thumb opposite the direction she's pushing it. It's the same sort of technique that you see in trofie (as they show in the clip) and also orecchiette, where you push the dough with a knife blade.

La Saporita spice mix is popular in Sardinia, though it's made near Piacenza, and it's even possible to buy in Marche where I live (bottom shelf of the spice display though). I speculate here it is used in game ragú - perhaps there are some Italians reading this who know.. best wishes, Vicky

      Procedimenti diversi.
      Per la pasta secca che viene estrusa da una trafila occorre impastare la semola con poca acqua ottenendo un composto granuloso che viene reso compatto da una forte pressione durante l'estrusione.
      Con le paste fatte a mano quella coesione puoi ottenerla quasi esclusivamente dai legami glutinici che vengono creati durante la fase di impasto, mentre durante l'azione di formatura la pasta non subisce gli stress che ha quella che viene trafilata.
      Con la pasta fatta a mano diventa quindi anche più semplice la fase di essicazione.
      Fare bene la pasta secca, credimi, è difficile. Specialmente gli spaghetti e le altre paste lunghe.
      A proposito: quando qualcuno spezza gli spaghetti (per fortuna) non muore nessuna nonna italiana, nonostante lo si possa vedere come un fatto scellerato ;-)
      Ma la spiegazione migliore l'avevo sentita da un maestro pastaio, descrivendo i suoi spaghetti: "non sapete quanta fatica e impegno occorra metterci per offrire un prodotto che regga la cottura e non si spezzi...".

      Antonella, director of the Proloco can take you through the history of Andarinos.
      Sometime also locals can be wrong ( like Francesca in the video can be wrong!!).
      The correct way to call them is Anadatinos.
      Andarini is an “italianizzazione “ which is not correct but used sometimes.

      @@1962jimg Guardalo da un altro punto di vista: ci sono cose immensamente più preziose del profitto (cose che non hanno un prezzo, come le relazioni che si possono creare con persone speciali).
      In Italia il cibo non è solo soddisfare un bisogno (nutrirsi), non è solo un prodotto (o una merce), è un fatto culturale col quale potersi identificare, goderne ed esserne orgogliosi, è un qualcosa con cui possiamo prenderci cura delle persone a cui vogliamo bene e condividere momenti e storie delle nostre vite. E un cibo speciale serve ad affermare, a celebrare, momenti e persone speciali.
