Nunzia with her husband just made my Friday 💜🥰

I get hungry every time I watch these ladies. Doesn't matter what time of day or night.

That poor Italian man can’t eat pasta! And he still looks happy. I would be in tears. Italian Grannies are the best! ❤️

Allergies probably.

Anything with porcini is OK in my book!!

I’m reminded that the chic peas cooked over a fire would pick up a little smoky nuance that would put this dish over the edge, simply perfect!

I love how comforting all these people and videos are. A hug when I feel lonely or afraid. I’m addicted

Yes, I agree. I always say people first visit the channel for the pasta, but stay for the grannies 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

Each week, one granny after another is more fun than the previous. It's a treat to get a glimpse of these talented grannies in their kitchens. It's great to see them.

Thank you!!!! Mormanno it's the place where my father was born and where I passed my childhood...what an emotion!!! So proud and happy❤️ Grazie

So proud to be an Italian from Calabria!!!

this makes me tear up. my mom's name was Ada. It caught me by surprise today. And the way these ladies have the passion for what they do BUT they get dressed up and are always conscientious of that.. Got the jewlery rocking.. etc. And they care. Unlike me (and many) in the US who lately are lucky we get out of Pjs to even go to the store etc. A travesty that would be in Italy!!! ;) I could watch these episodes ALL DAY every day

All Italian women are like that. My cousins in Rome, older and younger, absolutely will not wear shorts or sweats out of the house - they would be shocked to see our American girls out & about in pajama pants, etc. I think they put on makeup just to take out the trash. 😉

@@elisaastorino2881 I agree. I suspect it's a European thing. I had a good friend that lived there for a few years, because of her husband's job. She told a story about going hiking with her friends. She being the only American was dressed for comfort, while her European friend was dressed up like she was going shopping. It's amazing the difference.

Another very young 80 yr old! Those porcini are incredible and an incredible meal made with them

I'm SO happy pasta grannies are doing more plant based foods! As a vegeterian obsessed w/ Italian food, this makes me so happy

My goal some day is to have a summer kitchen, a pasta board, and a GIANT rolling pin. I've learned so much from these grannies! I consider them my own family! ^_^

These keep getting better! Don't know how. They're all so fun.

Again two recipes worth gold. When porcini appears here in Finland this summer, here is one recipe for a nice and easy dish. Thank you! ❤️

When I get older I want to become a Pasta Granny too!

These grannies and their cooking should be named World Heritage by Unesco👏👏👏. I' m sure that most of the subscribers would love to know a little bit more of their life stories😊

Working in the summer kitchen in the vineyard. Life! More special ladies documented for all time. Wonderful!

This brings back memories of my last trip to Italy, when it was mushroom season and I ate fresh porcini everywhere I went. In Florence, I had something very similar to the first dish. Such a shame that we can't get fresh porcini in America!

Depends where you live. Actually, they grow all over the country, even around San Antonio Texas. I bought them at a farmers' market in Portland Oregon, and they can sometimes be found in higher end supermarkets...used to see them a lot in Austin. The problem is that porcini cannot be cultivated, they can only be foraged in the wild, so they don't fit the US model of commercial agriculture. And not many in the US have the tradition of foraging for mushrooms. A friend of Italian descent used to tell me that his grandparents and great uncles, much closer to their Italian origins, used to get porcini around San Antonio, Texas back in the 20s and 30s. The mushrooms are still growing there, people just don't know about them!

Loved this video! Not only my 2 favorite things, mushrooms and chickpeas, but the grannies Ada, and Nunzia, (and husband!) were such lovely and delightful people. Will try the chickpea recipe, but will have to substitute whatever mushrooms we have available in the US, white, or maybe portabella, would favor the later.

Wonderful, its a month or two before the ceps are ready to harvest 'round here. Its pretty magical heading to the woods & picking them, finding a perfectly formed "penny bun" is always great. In good years we get enough to dry a load to see us over the winter. Great seeing the grannies cooking up a storm like that. Reminds me of harvest time on the farm. Everyone working hard & the ones not getting the harvest in producing mountains of simple, tasty food to fuel the hard work. Though I love traditional British food I would have loved a Pasta Granny or two there to make heaps of pasta & beans. Poor chap not being able to eat that wholesome looking food. Still lovely to see he & his wife so much in love after all those years. Thanks for the video, you've made a summers day even brighter with it.

keep your location secret otherwise your porcini plenty will disappear in no time! The harvest is similar here in Italy, though with mechanisation there aren't the huge numbers of workers to feed. Vincisgrassi - a lasagna made with the tomatoey stewing juices of all parts of the chicken (offal included) - was the traditional dish to serve hungry workers here in Le Marche. 😊🌺 best wishes, Vicky

We found a prize funghi porcini in the forest in Le Marche on a mushroom hunt, such a treasure! These two dishes look simply fantastic.

I loved these pasta grannies and these recipes look absolutely delicious! What a wonderful episode. Thank you!

So charming. All the episodes are so amazing because we meet special grannies and their families!

Probably my favorite. Pasta con fungi. Lovely grannies. Sweet.

Anything with porcini's is the best! Both pasta dished looked delicious. Grow up watching my dad & aunt make pasta, I never really learned! It's great fun to watch & listen to them as they make the various kinds of pasta dishes. Thanks for bringing this channel to us. Ciao

Look for a similar recipe from Puglia called ciceri e tria, a very simple, almost primitive dish with the added treat of fried pasta strips for the topping, to add a textural variation. I make it and add LOTS of preserved red chiles to spice it up, otherwise it is just too plain tasting...

The delicious and nutritious food of La Cuccina Povera .. love the idea of a summer kitchen in the vineyard. It would be nice if you can ask the nonnas what would they like to say to their viewers from around the world in addition to what age they started making pasta. Several of the nonnas have something in common with the Obama family: those splattered dishes (the green bowl in which the chickpeas are soaking) if anyone cares to know !! And where can one find "un marito d'oro" like Mr. Nunzia ???? Cute couple. Love his smile. :)

Pasta with porcini is like pasta with fish - never cheese. By the way, the last time I was in Rome before Covid the people I know in my favorite restaurants said that more than half of the porcini were then being brought in from Spain.

If I heard the video right, the tagliolini and chick peas (ceci) segment, you said zafferano, which is Italian for paprika. Zafferano is saffron in English and a more commonly used ingredient in Italian cooking.
