Their good health at 90 years old is the ultimate advert for their Italian cooking!❤

Truth be told you can eat like them but it's the environment they grew up that keeps the health. No pollution produce grow much more healthy and very great soil. Italian produce is by far superior and healthy. We will never get those benefits in North America. Italians take their leisure very seriously and so they benefit from their organic environment!

@@user-en9jk8rf8v Um, what? I live in the US; "the South" here has the same shitty healthcare as the rest of the US - and we are the only "developed" nation that doesn't have socialized medicine. A friend of mine, some years back, was diagnosed with cancer - it eventually got him, and though he had some of the best healthcare in the US, his treatment still cost him the majority of his personal worth. But a friend of mine in New Zealand, and another in England, both beat cancer, and neither of them paid any significant amount out of pocket for their treatment. Both the UK and NZ have socialized healthcare - hence my point.

"So when you eat it, because it's not young, it tastes richer" is a wonderful sum up of the richness that all these grannies bring to these videos.

A wonderful episode, as usual. My nonna's green pasta was the best. As kids we didn't know she used spinach - we called it Martian pasta. I love the towel belonged to their mother and the history behind the board. Thank you!

Nancy : traditions and food are to us Italians like the star & stripes for you , in other worlds , it's true that most of the people do not make pasta in this way anymore also because in every place there are pasta shops but it's also true that these traditions are taught in schools and food related tourism is ever rising as well as traditional restaurants . And don't forget that every place / town / region keep their culinary tradition as a tool of identification , I follow pasta grannies since a long time , love to see the hidden gems of every corner of Italy and have seen a lot of comments like this but I believe this kind of comment do not get the soul of us Italians that said without disrespecting anyone .

I think there's few other videos or documents that can attest so well for the incredibile importance of healthy and fresh food in our lives. These ladies look about 70/75, certainly not 90, and food is definitely the secret of their health!! When will the US learn from this and start pushing hard for healthier food habits in their country?

In fact, I think Vicky deliberately chose to publish this Pasta Grannies story today as a tribute to the people of Emilia Romagna for the difficult time they're going through right now. The people of my region are strong and will get through this difficult time, as they always have.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Anitta and Maria make their Bolognese lasagna, mostly because I was amazed at these beautiful, 90 year-old twins! How blessed they are to have each other all these years!! TFS, Sharon ♥️🤗♥️🤗🇮🇹🇮🇹

This is wonderful. I also always love seeing the background details: where they live, the local sources of food, even the way the stove looks and the decorations on the walls. These ladies seem somewhat affluent.

You have done it again. These beautiful ladies don’t look like ninety at all! And to still make the pasta weekly for the family is priceless. They are treasures. Thanks, again, for a great episode.

They truly are , you are right

Loved the company of these wonderful sisters Annita and Maria. 90 yrs old, they both treasure the wooden board which once belonged to Annita's mother-in law to whom it was gifted by her mother; the handwoven cloth which was their mother's and still part of the twins cookery sessions. They appreciate the intense flavour of cheese which is 30 months old, and they say things which happen to all of us sometime or the other, but rarely admit" When I want it turn out well , it turns out badly. There is such a strong bond between them, so evident as they fondly remember their child hood days ,photographed with linked arms and now at 90 , still cherishing each other's company. Bless them both with many more years of shared happiness❤️ P.S. I loved their colourful wall plates.

They're truly beautiful! I found it interesting to blend the bechamel into the meat sauce. I used the bechamel as a separate layer, similar to pastitsio, when making lasgna once. I like the color when blended.

The “pastitsio” take its origin by the Italian dish “pasticcio”, which in Italian means “mess”, because in Italy the pasticcio is made just like that, blending the ragù with besciamella, while the official lasagna is all layered (and without spinaches). Then, Italian speaking, you make a lasagna and these nonnas are making a pasticcio, even if they don’t know that (and in Italy it’s pretty common, because everything can be regional 😅)

Everyone, FYI... When the Italians say pancetta and capicolo and they use it in a ragu, that is not cured. That is just the cut from the pig... In the US and parts of Europe, pancetta and capicolo is thought of as cured meat. But in Italy it refers to the cut, not the process.

@DerAdler82

​@@Dustwheel Nothing wrong with using is to start the ragu, imo. In some areas they used salt pork. I also think the ragu tastes better with the traditional inclusion of the "odori": onion, carrot, and celery. However, imo it should be a small quantity: you want a meat sauce, not a meat and vegetable sauce.

Beautiful elegant grannies cooking wholesome comfort food what a joy to watch them ❤

Fabulous, such love between them can only result in a lasagne made with love 🙏

This channel is so great with all these wonderful pastas. My proudest cooking moment was when my friend's (who is Italian) nonna Giulia tasted my homemade pasta and offered a very stoic "va bene" as a verdict.

In America we use a lot of Mozzarella. It's usually low quality and not very good. I've tried it with Provolone as well. My favorite Pizzeria gets the best cheese. They have good beer as well. They make some of the best New York Style Pizza. A lot of Greek themed pizzas, prepared New York Style! Isn't life and culture a trip!

goes to show theres nothing unhealthy about lasagna, it will make you live to be 90 and counting!

I will put spinach in my noodles next time I make them. I am glad to see how she handled the spinach by cooking it first and squeezing out the water and chopping. A very helpful video. And we don't even have to have ricotta 💕

Once this generation of women leave this planet we will never see a generation of women dedicated to this kind of culinary. 😢

this would be my kind of Sunday program.

Probably one of the best lasagna recipes I've seen. I do like using some fresh provolone in mine as well as buffalo mozzarela however the pasta technique was impeccable

All I could think about while watching this is Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls.

To many more years of cooking to both of them, they are in great shape both mentally and physically. Nice neat trick with the premix of the bechamel with the ragu', I always did it separate but this way, it is better for sure..
