Meet 100yr old Annunziata while she makes a fregola pasta soup from Sardinia

- Annunziata lives in a village with the highest number of over 100 year olds in Italy and she celebrated her century in August 2022. Here she shows how to make a delicious vegetable, chickpea and fregola pasta soup.
To make fregola, you'll need coarsely ground durum wheat called semola. It's impossible to give precise quantities but allow around 500g of semola and 300ml of water, with a pinch of salt.
For the soup: 300g chickpeas, soaked, 1 onion, 2 zucchini, one carrot, one large potato, 2 sticks celery, 50g cream cheese , the veggies can change according to the season eg add squash instead of zucchini - Фільми й анімація
I don’t even know what to say. Annunziata has a gentle but clearly strong and stoic air about her. Her life as a young woman was clearly hard and full of sacrifice, but not embittering. This quality springs forth in a rustic and hearty soup made mostly by feel. God bless her. This channel is the best of UA-cam. Thanks, again!
"Cook and honor yourself, I beg you." Dust in my eyes.
She is fully bilingual Sardinian - standard Italian. Switches back and forth and I personally find it quite great
She's visually impaired but totally nails the casual flip of the bowl into the basket (I'd have fregola on the floor and ceiling and walls.....). Wonderful episode with a wonderful lady!
I’m just watching Anunziata cook and thinking of the privilege of eating any of her dishes and listening her❤❤
I can't believe it, and yet it's so touching: how similar the life of simple folks all around the world. I have the uni degree, work in high tech industry, but my Russian ancestors were just simple peasants like this honest granny. They've never seen other countries, never had fancy food. Most of the things they had on the table were grown/made by themselves.
I'm touched to tears by this project. These grannies lived their honest lives, raised so many kids, grandkids and even grandgrandkids. Their lives were mostly tough, but they never gave up. And they are true monuments of THE ERA, witnesses of many generations. It's really hard to comprehend, when you're only 30...
Vc disse o que todos pensamos e não tínhamos palavras para dize- lo. Obrigada
She has the sweetest voice on earth. What a nice lady!
Most of the world is focused on the wrong things. These videos are a service to life. Molte grazie!.
It is really a privilege to reach 100 years of age and still have such a fresh mind and be so active. 💕
PS: I must admit that she also moved me at the end of the video with her so sweet words about her son and her thanks. ❤️
No wonder she resides in a blue zone! The vegetables come first. The garbanzo beans play a key role. Dark green olive oil. Handmade pasta from local grains. Seriously perfect, when it comes to dietary traditions. Brava!
And warm weather
Yes, I was also moved. Made me miss my mom and grandmothers.

Me too. Love to all the missed Grans and Moms in our lives.

New pasta grannies and she was 103. Sauce was made with thin sausage and red onion w/fresh cheese then wine to toast. She was also in good shape. Studies actually show diet doesn’t play a big role and over 60% of men over 100 smoke/d. But I agree about the olive oil. Also family/social ties, whole food, good wine and clean air don’t hurt.
Oh what a gentle, sweet nonna! The fact that nonna Anunziata cannot see well, but still cuts the veggies so precisely (using the iconic nonna knife, just like my grandmother - it is called "poshada" in Dalmatia), and her gentle voice melted my heart. Thank you for this wonderful video!
anche da noi in Veneto la chiamavano "posada"
She lives long because she blesses her food and she is grateful....very beautiful indeed!
What an exceptionally strong yet loving woman. I was especially taken with her confidence in being able to learn everything and her "I'm afraid of nothing" attitude, not to mention the warmth, love, and good will she showers not only on her son, her "mother's treasure", but on everyone around her, even these strangers in her kitchen. I'm absolutely in love with her. I bet her soup would work with couscous. I'll try it that way first. Grazie, Signora.
Please let me know how it turns out with couscous :)
It is exactly the same as cous cous, only worked as small gravel.
Can we just stop a minute and marvel at this Nonna's manual dexterity at her age.. watch her peel and slice the veggies... at 1 point when her son is speaking to her she is looking at him while she is still cutting veggies into the pot! BRAVO NONNA!!!!
I wish my grannies lived till their 100s. Than, they would still be here(((
My only complaint about Pasta Grannies is that I can’t give all these wonderful women hugs. But thank you for bringing them into my life, if only for a few minutes. ❤️
I bet this 100 year old lady knows more about beekeeping than the majority of viewers. Working with bees without the protective gear requires a lot of courage. What an amazing lady! Her nickname the Queen of Bees is so fitting.
Amazing! This woman is a cultural treasure. She is correct--if you are not afraid of bees, they don't sting. What a wonderful person!! Thanks so very much for sharing this video. I am inspired!
Adorabile e splendida Signora Annunziata! ❤️❤️🌹🌹🤗🤗 Orgoglio di Sardegna!
Goodness, what a marvelous peek at a 100 year old who is so capable and determined. Really something special to observe.
Wow, Sardinian, I can't understand a word of it. Interesting that she spoke it when describing her early life to her son, but then changed to Italian when talking to the camera
It's not very her language, it's Sardinian mother tongue
@@riccardosebis5333 I know. She speaks Sardinian to her son, presumably because he asked her the question in Sardinian. I speak Italian but I can't understand Sardinian when I hear it (although I can get some if I read it)
@@mamascarlatti infatti sono lingue molto diverse, due rami differenti
That technique of making the small semola balls and bringing them to the top and popping them out of the bowl. 😮 Wow😮
What a blessing it would be to be able to have your great grandmother still alive and well.. she is adorable, may God continue blessing her with life and her family with her presence.
So much lessons..."I have never been afraid of anything"
Signora Annunziata, lei è assolutamente fantastica! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot describe how much I love this channel and hearing the stories these women tell (those little tips about beekeeping were fascinating) but it also hurts me to know I will never eat these foods. No part of me even toys with the idea of thinking I could attempt a from-scratch pasta that a 100 year old woman has spent a lifetime perfecting. Still, it is lovely to watch and I appreciate what you're doing here.
Such a sweet person, that family is truly blessed.
I'm overwhelmed and can't really subscribe what I am feeling. She has got the knowledge and experience of a century. I can't imagine this.
What said....????
This's ITALIA 🇮🇹🇮🇹 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Annunziata makes appreciate and miss my own Sicilian grandma so much.
What a precious and sweet spirit Annunziata is. A blessing to watch her cook.
This is one of the best Pasta Grannies ever!
She carries such beauty in her eyes. What a wonderful woman.
This grannie is exceptionally cute. I'm trying her soup.
This channel is the one that deserves millions of subscribers and views. Thank you, Pasta Grannies for bringing us these beautiful nonne like Annunziata to share their marvelous delights and lives with us. Bravo!
She is 100 years old and more energetic than anyone I know. Loved the enthusiasm, positivity and energy! I am so gonna try making this at home ❤
Thank you Pasta Grannies, yet again for an amazing video ❤
Our pleasure, Ashish! best wishes, Vicky
How beautiful. Thank you for showing us this spectacular woman.
Bravissima nonna annunziata,rifaro' i ceci così.saluti dalle Marche.sei bellissima ,un abbraccio💋💋💋💋❤❤❤❤
What a blessing to have her in the family.
What a GRAND Lady she is, so sweet and greatfull.Brava Annunziata .Con piacere da Belgio. Fabbro Filip Ponseele
What a wonderful woman! thank you so much for sharing with us a small part of her life!
this granny is so cute , Dio ti benedica nonna 🥰🥰
I LOVED watching this video, it just did my heart GOOD!!!
It caused me to recall some memories with my great grandmother who was a strong Portuguese woman, who outlived two husbands. I managed to be taught one if her "famous" cornmeal bread recipes with which was layered sliced chourico and sliced onions.
The method was tedious but the end result was incredibly worth it!
Then my paternal grandmother, she lived to be 100 but not in as good health as Annunziata. She too was a good cook and unfortunately, & sadly, I was not priviledged to get any of her recipes...
God bless you Annunziata... I would love to try and make Fregula... since I have to order it and it is pretty pricey. 😁
You are such a blessing to watch and learn.
This brought a tear to my eyes. It reminded me of my dad's sisters and my nonna. They used to cut vegetables the same way. While hardly looking at their hands they would adeptly cut up vegetables using what looked like,e a butter knife. Amazing. Annunziata is such a lovely woman. I am definitely going to make this dish. I think I can substitute a dried pasta called Anellini (if I can find it). Yum. By the way what was the meat that was roasting in front of the fire?
I was wondering about the spit in front of the hearth, too.
Adorable cette petite femme. Je ne connaissais pas cette façon de faire des petites boules avec la semoule. C'est quand même assez technique. Il faut que j'essais. Merci pour votre chaine YT. Elle contribue à sauvegarder ces recettes Italiennes ancestrales. J'en ai testé plus d'une et franchement, c'est du travail mais le résultat en vaut la peine. Encore merci pour le travail que vous faites.
How precious is she ❤❤❤❤❤
She is so strong and adorable
What a sweet grandmother, I am moved by her inner kindness. She is a treasure.
she is great great good recipe, i get tears in my eyes, I don't know why?
This one went STRAIGHT to my heart, I love this channel, so SO much!!!
Annunziata is absolutely delightful. I'm so happy @PastaGrannies was able to record her because she is a source of living history.
Thanks for showing a picture of her as a young woman.....still very pretty! The fregola toss was a testiment to her skill!💐
Meinen größten Respekt mit einer tiefen Verbeugung 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Aww you are amazing. ❤️ My sicilian grandma is also 100 but can't cook any more. 10/29/1922. Thank you for beautiful recipe
05:22 that perfectly-executed tossing action
thank you Annunziata for your kind wishes!
Awwwwwww she is so cute and precious !!!! Miss my nona :(
i've got to try this! I have never even heard of fregola until I saw this video. It looks a bit tricky to make but I'm going to give it a try. I think the trick is to ensure when the small semol(in)a balls have formed they need to dry out thoroughly before adding it to the soup. This is real italian food at it's best. I have just read on the web that the fregola needs to be dried then lightly toasted before it's added to the dish.
Grazie a te Anunciatta!!!!!! Bellísima 🥰
Una donna forte! ♥️
What a lovely presence she has!
She is just adorable!! 😍
Such a sweet & delightful person, all the love she poured into everything is a delight. One thing I am curious about: what's roasting in front of the fireplace?
Another beautiful film. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos
What a sweet sweet lady!
A special lady. God bless her
What’s a wonderful woman,she gives more then a cooking lesson she gives a lesson in life very humbling,I’m so Gald I watched this ;thank you ,blessings on her .
A soup you can truly stand your spoon up in!
Annunziata [please tell me that name means she speaks clearly in Italian!?] must be something of a village treasure. Still has all her faculties at 100. Would love to hear more of er life & what she thinks of the changes that have happened. Good ageing must run in the family if that's her first son; that would place him coming up on 70.
Loved that little oft practised flick of the fregola from the mixing bowl to the storage one. The soup sound delicious too, though thick & chock full of veg, what she's chosen would make it a soup light enough for Summer/early Autumn.
As always many thanks.
Annunziata is from the word annunciation, it's a religious name, from the announcement by the Virgin Mary that she was expecting a child (Jesus).
Nuns sometimes choose that name for that reason!
@@ellemelbaus1129 Excellent, many thanks for the explanation.
@@scharrenbroich3 Excellent, many thanks for the explanation.
@@scharrenbroich3 yes. could be also for the day she was born (i.e. the Annunciation).. Everything was very religion based in the old days and tradition based. Especially names of children (after paternal grandfather first depending on sex of child etc.), Saints, feast days, etc. Examples: Annunziata, Addolarata, Carmela (after Mary), etc. I for instance am named after my grandmother's mother and my grandfather's mother and my grandmother (all paternal) as the first born period but as first born female. Technically i should have been named after my grandmother direct but they all agreed to honor the 3.
Humbled and honor to see this.
I love everything about this Nonna and her delicious looking soup. What a splendid life and world view. Truly special episode. Life goals!
At that age and with a good memory, she has a lot of stories to tell in her cute little girls' voice. Love chickpeas. Asking the same as the others ... what's roasting in the fireplace?
hi Souad, it was pork for the family's Sunday lunch; the time honoured two birds with one stone - heat the room and cook! 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagranniesI thought it might be Porchetta..... thanks. And kudos for the two birds with one stone, something I try to do whenever possible especially nowadays. I can imagine the wonderful atmosphere in the kitchen. Thanks and happy travels to your nonnas.
what a sweetie.
Annunziata is a treasure, so strong and yet so dear. Loved the video!
Que linda dona Anunciata!!! Obgda
Nonna Nunziata e la migliore cuoca di Perdasdefogu🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗❤️🌷
Annunziata has stolen my heart, what a remarkable woman and what a remarkable pasta maker, what we could learn from Annunziata and how gentle and kind she is, her son looks to follow in her footsteps. God bless her and thank you Vicky for bringing her to us.
hi Ramon, I must say Annunziata had an instant fan club when we walked into their home. They are a very special and loving family. best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies ❤
What a sweetheart.. Xx
Annunziata is just so adorable! I want her for my grannie!
Annunziata is very special. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
She is spectacular - would love to meet her 🙂
Oh, this is very clever, I think I will try it, though I will need to remember that particular blessing for authenticity. The image of Annunziata with armfuls of bees is both charming and impressive, and I'm glad we got to meet her. Thank you for this.
Lovely pasta dish..and its interesting to hear how the granny's live back in the day..
This literally made me tear up, Annunziata is such a blessed soul 💖 thank you for another great recipe!
Linda!!! Maravilhosa!
What can one say?
She’s simply incredible ❤
God bless her sweet soul 🙏🏻❤️🇮🇹
OMG! Such a wonderful person!
Adorable Nona. Love her observations and most of all , her sweet nature.
Hugs to this Nona, and hugs to you Vicky for taking all the trouble to introduce us to so many wonderful Nonas , each of whom teaches us something unique.
Annunziata is now a little bit too frail to make pasta, but we're hoping to say hello to her in a few weeks time when we visit Sardinia. best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies
When you meet her next, please convey my warm wishes to her and my prayers for her good health❤️
Thank you Vicky.
Annunziata is such a sweet lovey! What a joy to watch her prepare food with all that love! TFS, Sharon♥️🎂
Moving. Thanks for that.
I hope the wonderful people you show to the world get to know that we appreciate the opportunity to learn about them and meet them if indirectly. I hope they know that their appreciation of being highlighted and shown to the world is reciprocated by those of us who get to witness their character and love of family through food and recipes born of harder times. This channel is food for the soul, thank you.
I wish my italian Non and Nonny had lived to 100 i would have so much from them alot more than i did
She is amazing and the dish looks wonderful!!
What a great lady!
What a touching video. It brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful soul she is. May she love many more years in good health and happy. ❤
Wow! Annunziata is such a strong and precious, I am glad I found this video and the channel Pasta Grannies, you guys are doing a tremendous job, This video made me genuinely happy.❤🙏
What a treasure of memories and history 😍
She is so precious ♥️🥹!
What beautiful woman!!💕
Imagine the stories she could tell us? If she wrote a cookbook I would def. buy it
Such a sweet lady!
So sweet. They look alike. Family is good medicine.
Amazing woman. I loved her story about the bees and of course, how she made fregola...
