    I am Scottish Italian, my nonna was from near Lucca, Tuscany and died at 103 yrs old, I lost my mum a lot younger when she was 56. I love this channel when I find myself missing them and the culture they maintained. I love cooking some of these lovely pasta recipes for my nine children. Love from Scotland ❤

    These simple, yet hearty legume soups (beans, peas, chickpeas, you name it), with simple home-made pasta are a staple of autumn cuisine where I come from. One of the occasions on which the family meets is all saints day, and we usually have a very similar soup served, so whoever comes in the usually cold weather, gets served a nice warm, filling meal. Our version contains carrots and some smoked meat, but in leaner times, we used to cook it similarly to this recipe, the only smoked meat item being washed bacon skin

    5:37 A good way to get a nice creamy pasta e fagioli. It also applies, of course, to a pasta and chickpeas.
    PS: 1:20 The addition of a potato to make the dish creamier and a piece of parmesan crust, to give even more flavor to the dish, was also a great idea ! 👍 🤗

      @aris1956 5 місяців тому

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@mamascarlatti Taking it out would make no sense. It must have been mashed inside the pot. Then there is to say that the lady here put the whole potato in, normally in these situations you put it in small pieces which then melt more easily in the pot or even simply mashed with a fork. However, we also have to say that it's not like everyone does it to put pieces of potatoes inside. I noticed it here, and so I simply wanted to point it out, because it can be a good "trick" also for when you do other things like that. :)

    "Simply pasta and bean soup." This lady handmade the pasta, videos like these always make me wonder what types of lives they lived. I tried my hand at cooking everything from scratch for almost 2 years and the rising food costs made me lose the desire, I can't imagine how it was doing bad financial times with a large family or even just how different cooking in general seems now they used to cook like this everyday nowadays some people would be lucky to see a home cooked more 5 days in a month.
