- It's a love story this week! Do watch... 'Marracones di ungra' is another pasta shape special to Sardinia. It means fingernail pasta, and the 'punched hole' cheese grater is particularly good at creating puncture marks or dimples in the pasta. Watch your fingers! The pasta uses 300g semola rimacinata, 1 egg and around 100ml of water. The sauce is 400ml passata, onion, garlic, basil, parsley olive oil, salt and sugar to taste (don't fry the onion and garlic). And goats cheese.
I have a soft spot for this episode. When Livia and I heard of the pasta we rushed off to Villagrande Strisali to find out more. Pepe Nero, the shopkeeper on hearing of our interest, banged on Barbara and Mario's door and said 'these people want to film you!' and they invited us into their home, made us welcome. And agreed. So thank you to everyone for being so spontaneous and hospitable!
Vicky it would be wonderful to see a few special episodes of the husbands making their wines, sauces , salamis etc you can see how proud they are and how their eyes light up ❤
Agreed. Pasta Grannies. Nonni Talentuoso.
hi Sara, thank you for the suggestion. I'll see what we can do this winter 🙂 best wishes, Vicky
I have never seen this type of pasta before…it looks like little snack crackers! I bet it is so light and tasty in that delicious (and easy!) sauce. How wonderful to see Barbara and Mario share their love and home with Assunta…so beautiful!! 🤗♥️🍝
Even i as an Italian, although I'm of a certain age now, I've never seen this kind of pasta either. Even if you live more than 100 years, here in Italy you discover something new every day ! :)
We hadn't heard of it - when we found out about it from the hotel receptionist, we had to film it, even though it wasn't on our schedule! best wishes, Vicky
Oh...so sweet! You can see how much he dotes on his wife
“Ungra” in their dialect and…”Unghia” (fingernail).. in Italian.
Love the way they seem to have such a good time doing this ❤
Goats, herbs, passata and a beautiful wife - that Mario is a fortunate man!
Don't forget the wine
I love these old recipes, made from scratch. It would be very sad to forget this traditional way of making food. Very good that you save it for all of us!
I can usually imagine what these dishes will be like, but this one, with the unusual pasta and the homemade hard goat's cheese, it's difficult to guess. I wish i could go there and sit down with these delightful people and share it with them!
Such wonderful kind hardworking people in Italy including, these three!! 🍝🇮🇹💚🤍❤ Thank you Barbara, Mario & Assunta for sharing your home & recipes with all of us. Greetings from Florida USA 🇺🇸💙
Dearest Vicki -What a gorgeous couple! Once again you have given us a glimpse into a beautiful world... it lifts the heart. Much love to all from Carmel by the Sea xoxo
Such a sweet trio working together! I love how they improvised with a grater when the basket was worn down.
what wonderful happy people, and amazing to see such a local basic Sardinian pasta dish. Their accent is also interesting.
🥰😍😋😋🥘🍲🍲🍝🥘🧀🧀😢😢😭😭😭😭💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💞💖💝💝💘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Such beautiful people!! God bless them!! 🙏❤
I have never seen or heard of this pasta before, I suppose because it is a local speciality. how I loved being a part of this adorable family for a short while, they can adopt me anytime. Thank you Vicky and team for this special pasta lesson. Ramon x
hi Ramon, Sardinia is full of 'only found in this locality' pasta shapes. And it would be great to film Mario in his veg plot, I hope we can return one day as they are so welcoming and hospitable. best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies Vicky filming Mario on his plot and also making his wines and other produce is a must, I so look forward to it.
What Salt of the Earth people !. That looks like a delicious pasta dish made completely (almost) with their home made ingredients. 😋
Hello hello from Montreal (Canada) I always put Canada, because in my youth I lived quite a few decades in the south of France... and there is a Montreal in France so ... :-) This is a very nice video, as usual, and I appreciate the teaser for the next video.... I always look forward for a new video .... I hope one of these days "if" you or your team travels in North America... we have here a very active Italian community .... Have a great day !
It would be fun to film grandmothers in Montreal/Toronto. It's on my to-do list! best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies If you dont know anyone in Montreal can I suggest to get in touch with "Dante cook store" on St-Dominique street here, in Little Italy, Elena Faita or her son Stefano Faita .... they have a Italian Cooking School and a Cook Store, they are well known here in the medias, and they know a lot of people... hope this could help .... Have a great day !
Sind die so süß anzuschauen und ihr Gericht sieht so lecker aus. Mögen sie noch lange zusammen sein.❣😊
3:32 Although in the area it is made a little bit everywhere, however as the lady says here, everyone then does a little bit in their own way, in their own particular way of preparing a dish. What we actually see in the different regions of Italy. Even if a dish is known in a particular region, in every home there is a little bit of a different version.
Barbara and Mario seem to have a lot of fun ! Delightful video.😁🇺🇸
What a beautiful couple!
This is one of my favourites so far. What a character x
God bless them for many more
I totally agree with Barbara! I am happy when I am making others happy. Those two make a very charming and happy couple. They do for each other and work at being happy! Great episode!
So, so lovely people…. I like this video so much.
Lovely video. Great to see this lovely trio working as one, and such a simple, beautiful dish. I like the method of putting the dimples into the pasta to ensconce that sauce. I was just watching another pasta maker yesterday; Alessandra Fontana (on a rival video channel, sorry). She was making Corzetti/Croxetti & the embossed stamping on the pasta coins holds onto the sauce in a similar way as well as being decorative. It came to mind watching Barbara, Mario and Assunta create their dish.
Great getting a glimpse into Mario's cantina. I love places like this. As well as all the food & wine stored in them there's usually an assortment of old items that you scratch your head trying to figure out what they were for. Reminds me of the dry store my grandfather had in the attic of the farmhouse & the old "steamie"/washhouse my grandmother still kept. She'd re-purposed the old copper basin for making jams & the largest "clootie dumplings" you can imagine.
Mmmm! Looking forward to the Pallottini (hope i spelled that correctly?) next week. I used to make a variation of a Maltese dish with tiny rabbit meatballs & pasta that was a favourite for a long time.
Thanks as always,
James. 🍝
hi James, don't worry, I don't see Alessandra as a rival - we all have our own voices and take on Italian cooking (hmm, I wonder if she has a nonna?) 🙂 Anyway, old kit makes you appreciate the wonder of electricity! Rabbit meatballs sound delicious - we must film in Malta one day - and we've got 2 great episodes (spread far apart because of the heartache it causes folk) with rabbit coming up this year. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
@@pastagrannies Electricity does make life a lot easier. Things like my stand mixer stop me getting bad cramp in my arms these days. But often I do prefer to do some things manually, though my spice grinder is great I prefer the pestle & mortar so I don't damage the flavour & texture of certain herbs & spices.
People are funny about rabbit & squirrel. They'll happily munch beef/veal, mutton/lamb...etc, but be up in arms about br'er rabbit. Maybe being brought up in the countryside I don't anthropomorphise them as much. Plus its organic as it comes with no "farming cruelty" involved. But I understand why you have to pace out the videos.
Malta & Gozo seem to have very interesting takes on dishes & their own spice mixes. Would love to see some episodes from there. 😁
I love the mineral water bottles full of homemade hooch.
How interesting! My grandmother from Calabria had a basket like that but she made a cavatelli type of pasta - my dad said her fingers would fly. I would dearly love to find one. My grandfather made wine but I can't say it was good... Dad said that they always told him to take the grapes off the stems first but he refused and just threw the bunches in stems, leaves and all. The wine turned out thick and bitter.
Hi Elisa, that's a good memory to have, even if the wine was undrinkable! best wishes, Vicky
I adore this sweet couple!
I thought that this couple had a particularly youthful spirit. They were an absolute pleasure to watch
Happy man happy wife, happy wife happy home it’s rather synergistic
May these three find nothing but continued love for their lives. I love them! The passata storage was eye opening and I am sure contributes the sauce’s flavor. Another new pasta style for me and home made wine. I have to get to Sardinia and it is because of your videos. Thanks, again, for another gem.
hi Scott, I recently received an email from a couple who had been to Sardinia and visited all the towns mentioned in the Pasta Grannies videos. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky
Vicky I love the Pasta Grannies❤ do you know if they still cook their beans 🫘 in big glass bottles like the ones her husband had his wine in. I would love to see an episode her on Pasta Grannies!🙏😍
Hello Margarita, nice to hear from you. The big glass bottles Mario has are for wine only, I think. In my travels around Italy it seems the smaller glass bean-cooking bottles are popular in Tuscany. I think they are a more modern version of the pottery ones (which I've also come across in Puglia). Both are meant to be left in embers to cook the beans. The pottery versions need careful cleaning as they absorb the flavours and then end up smelling like death - as consequence, they have fallen out of favour! best wishes, Vicky
Every episode is an epiphany!
I love Barbara and Mario! They are absoluetly adorable ❤❤❤
So wonderful! I love Barbara’s San Marino 🇸🇲 apron! ❤Vicky, please go
to San Marino some day!
Ciao ! Are you originally from San Marino ? And speaking of San Marino, is there a particular dish, a particular specialty in San Marino ? I ask this as an Italian from southern Italy.
@@aris1956 Ciao! My parents were Sammarinese! I have many favorite recipes - piadina, porchetta, maritozzi, Pagnotta, cappelletti, passatelli, strozzapretti, nidi di rondine. So much good food!
@@lizlarkin5751 Well, but these are after all typical Italian specialties in general. I thought there was some thing just particular to San Marino, a particular dish. But evidently in San Marino there are the specialties that there are also in northern Italy or other regions of Italy. In which country do you live ? I guess you also speak Italian. :)
How many grams of flour and water? And only one egg?
😍😍😍😍😍😍
It looks like the pasata is fermented?
Gosh, how sweet they are together. ❤
We are very likes and enjoying your videos. Can you add turkish subtitles in your videos? Thanks for videos 👏👏
You can read automatic translations in many languages, just tap the little gear, high at right on the picture. 😉
The Italians know how to live...
Such a sweet , endearing lady, is Barbara. So cheerful, so full of life.
Her presence for him will be such... that Mario will be surely feeling about her this way.
"I believe in you,
You know the door to my soul,
You're the light in my darkest hour,
You're my saviour when I fall......how deep is your love, how deep is your love"

Like Waffle textured orecchiette
Wow! Sardegna never ceases to amaze me! Longevity specialists! Let's pay attention to their cooking! Your videos always bring me to tears so so special!
Wonderful! Never seen that kind before, and such lovely lovely people!
So much love in her yes for her husband. Great video.
There are a wonderful couple and along with their friend made this one of the best episodes. I’m also going to make this pasta.
26 and 16..... "different times" lets keep it at that.
There's nothing really wrong with that as long as it's traditional and modest. It's only weird now because of how juvenile young women are and that 26 year old men aren't looking for a wife to start a family with.
Brave😊
Beautiful
🤗💐🙏
Looks delicious thanks for sharing ❤️
Divinas🎉😂❤
Lovely video. Thank you.
Why is it that simply made sauces in Italy taste sublime, but when you make the same recipe in the US it tastes like cooked tomato and lacking in flavor? Thank you for another wonderful video!!
Alas, produce is grown for shelf life not flavour. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, best wishes, Vicky
Grow your own. At least then everything ripens on the vine. I have to be honest, though, the produce in Italy comes from different seeds, and the nutrients in the ground, the water, are different so it still won't be quite the same, but closer.
Osome
Will be nice to know there ages
Barbara is 78, and Mario is 88 years old. 🙂 best wishes, Vicky
@pastagrannies thanks for your reply I truly appreciate these videos
I love PG, but this is NOT an appetizing upload title! Great episode, though!
