  • Culurgiones are beautiful wheat-ear shaped ravioli from Sardinia.Every village in the Ogliastra area has its own version and Ottavia shares hers from Tertanía, south west Sardinia. Enjoy both her pasta and her weaving!
    Pasta dough: 300g semola/durum wheat flour, 120ml water, 30ml olive oil
    Filling: 500g potatoes, 100g fresh goats curd, 25g pecorino, 1 tablespoon dried mint, pinch of salt, 1/2 garlic clove, a little flour if necessary, 100ml olive oil fried with 1 garlic clove.
    Dress with tomato sauce and grated pecorino cheese

    Last summer I worked in a restaurant that served home made ravioli. We rolled out around 8+ (16 at times) kilos of dough every other day for spaghetti and ravioli. Man, it was not fun. And this signorina makes hundreds, even a thousand at times! At a ripe old age of 80+
    Here is to thousands and thousands more ravioli for her family and friends! And the time shared with her loved ones.
    Cheers.

      You should see, I don't even say try, how "passata di pomodoro" is done, that's a ton of work for tens of persons, consider that at the end you should have your passata, meaning for you and your family for 1 year.

    Oh I LOVED this! This woman is something else! Her and I have allot in common just looking at her home with the beautiful baskets on the wall and the beautiful cloth on the refrigerator and when she walked into the next room and wow all the house plants! I chuckled too hearing the english house sparrows chirping! They must be everywhere! They added to the joy of this video!

    I love Ottavia's waste-not-want-not approach, a gal after my own heart.
    When she said: "The person who likes mint wins today" I almost jumped out of my chair (I totally lurve mint in dishes where it's not expected).
    Brava Ottavia!

    The pasta made by hand with the hands of grannies has a unique flavor in the world: the love and energy of these women is a fundamental part of the recipe. 🥰 Tasting fresh homemade pasta is a life-changing discovery that makes all other types of industrial pasta terrible.

    There is only one single downside to learning cooking from your grandma (regardless of where you come from). No matter how hard you try, you always end up cooking for a family of at least 8. Upside is, you become very popular among colleagues at work, because someone has to finish the "leftovers".

    Absolutely love all the videos of Pasta Grannies.. I'm a great fan of Italian food even though I have tasted very few dishes. I just want to be there to taste all those dishes and spend time with the grannies to hear their stories and live a little like them. I felt the Grannies would be happy if their food is tasted by the guests first and appreciate it instead of they themselves taste it and tell its good.

      Yes for me this is not a cooking show it's about the lives of the ( mostly ) ladies that cook the pasta. Today the bit about her not throwing away a paper bag made me laugh as did she. Working a loom at 87? A a twinkle in her eye . It is also about the present. These ladies remember the past but live in the now.

    I always love seeing the women roll out the pasta the old-fashioned way. It was kind of disappointing to see this one using a pasta machine. Still, it's easier to get a consistent thickness that way, so I can't really fault her for that, and the recipe sounds delicious.

    Italian cuisine is one of the greatest legacies and heritages of our planet, it is about the art of creating a masterpiece from almost nothing, it is about refining and perfecting simple products, about love for nature, tradition and excellent and refined taste. Even the poorest grandmother in the most remote village in Italy (just an example) can make you a meal that you have never dreamed of. Well done Ottavia❤️Bravo❤️
