A lifetime of sorrow and joy in a single bowl of pasta. This is a channel about life first and cooking second. Grazie.

How horrid life can be. Her mother dying shortly after her birth, a bad stepmother (and probably a father who would not stand up for her...), her being willing to marry anyone just to escape the family home. Good to see that she's been blessed with a long life and hopefully good health. I wish her only the best. Nice recipe! The food looks great, as always! 👌👑🍝❤️

The stepmother was a person too, with her own sorrows and joys. It cant be easy to be expected to replace someone else.

Wow! My mother's village is on Pasta Grannies! The tradition was to make chjusoni every 1st of August. But we didn't use a grater, instead we used a tray made of plant stems. Thank you for bringing memories back!

Tal cual, nunca vi estos Ñoquis (Gnocchi) de Semola, aca los preparamos con papa, harina y huevo. Amo las variaciones de estas recetas, te muestran lo rica que es Italia en su tradicion culinaria, con tan poco y mucha creatividad, hacen platos excepcionales.

@@user_friendly_9388 Questo è il bello dell’Italia e della cucina italiana…. in ogni zona che vai, ma diciamo quasi in ogni famiglia che vai, trovi delle variazioni, trovi qualcosa che non hai visto prima. E questo rende grande e affascinante la cucina italiana, perché sorprende sempre anche a noi italiani stessi girando per l’Italia.

Thanks again Victoria for bringing these Nonna jewels still vibrating with life and goodness. Grazie mille a Francesca e Franca.🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋😋

What a beautiful lady. Thank you for sharing just a bit of her life story. Really lovely.

Bless their hearts, Francesca seems to have had quite a life. The dish looks undeniably tasty!

This has to be my favorite pasta shape so far 😊 All those little bumps must hold the sauce so well

When she made a cross in the semolina my heart erupted!! So wholesome. Grazie Francesca!!

Old traditions. They do the same in Spain when kneading the bread dough. Old ladies make a cross before leaving it to rise.

In the north-eastern part of Romania you will find the same tradition. The dough is let to rest and rise with the cross on it. My mother is nearly in her 70s and still practice this tradition.

Francesca has the most beautiful eyes! She glanced up at one point in the video and I saw how bright and beautiful they are! The pasta looked fun to make and I bet it was delicious to eat, especially with that tasty wild boar sauce! Yummy!! TFS, Sharon🤗♥️🍝

Magnificent, as usual!! When Francesca made the Sign of the Cross in the flour I burst into tears!! My mother always made the Sign of the Cross over the food she prepared, before we ate. It sounds like Francesca may have had a difficult life. Yet, here she is lovingly preparing food with her daughter. Vicky, thank you ever so much for these beautiful videos. The work you do is priceless and I just cannot express my gratitude for your tireless efforts! God bless!! 🙏❤🕊😘🤗🇺🇸

I love that this show celebrates these women! So many of them have had rough lives, but they seem happy and amazingly healthy. My hat is off to all of them. After watching this I decided I need to make some pasta tomorrow!

That sauce or ragu looked absolutely delicious! And i can’t WAIT for stuffed pizza/pasta next week! YUM OH

Grazie alle signore Francesca e Bianca. Un piacere ed un orgoglio vederle all'opera! ❤️🌹🤗

Thank you for capturing such beauty, before it is gone. These women are jewels, and I enjoy each one of their stories! Thank you so much for helping to keep tradition alive!!!

Sardinia! Francesca’s eyes briefly indicate the difficult life she had, but again this beautiful soul persevered. Oh - the food - wild boar is always delicious and the amount of time and skill it takes to make the chjusoni is impressive. Yet another gem from the best channel on KZread. May God bless Francesca.

5:34 my mom and her friend do this every fall with pie crusts. They make a whole big batch, split it between the two of them, and freeze it to use for the holidays. She usually gets 6 or 7 pies out of it each year

What an amazing channel, I have just subscribed !!! I just love Italian food !!!

Victoria, I adore this channel and your content. Francesca brought joy, I hope her rough start in life has become one of contentment. That dish looks beautiful! I look forward to my annual trip to the Friuli region in October. Porcini season in Pordenone! Thank you for your sunny personality and I always envy your being the fortunate taste tester!

Her technique for kneading is impeccable.

I named my daughter Francesca because it's such a beautiful name. Dantes inferno was the first time I saw the name and fell in love with the grace of it.

More wonderful nonna's and I am definitely going to try to make this pasta shape in the near future. My favorite line was "..even if he is a clown" to describe getting married to get away from her step mom. Love her. ☺

Thank you for the subtitles, even us italians have a bit of a hard time with sardinian sometimes :)))

Thank you Vicky & all the Pasta Grannies! Fascinating to see how all of the pasta shapes are nade at home. Lovely ladies!❤❤❤

Beautiful mom and daughter. ❤

Looks good!

Sweet Francesca, wishing you much joy, comfort and love 💛 Thank you Past Grannies for celebrating these remarkable women!

Every weekend I crave pasta. I wonder why. 🤔

OMG i'm salivating. If you never had homemade pasta in Italy with the sugo and the cheese and it gets all melty, you do not know. I can smell and taste this in my mind and miss it!

Wild boar is one of my absolute favourites! I could just imagine how rich and tasty that dish was. And what a perfect type pasta for that sauce. Yum.

Yummy, thanks for sharing 👍👍❤️❤️❤️

My grandmother used to make this. Grazie 🥰

I love those Grannies! ❤

I'd love to think that Francasca is going to live on through this recipe. 😍 I've learned that pasta (non frozen) need to put into boiling water (unoiled) in order not to stick together. The frozen pasta is cooling down the water so that in the end the dought sticks together.

For this reason she added oil to the water.

Love this channel so much! I love the pasta grannies! But it always makes me want to: A) eat a meal of pasta immediately B) make pasta, especially the pasta from the episode I just watched and C) visit Italy again (also, I've run out of Italian olive oil i brought home from Italy, so obviously i *need* to visit again. I don't know why, but the olive oil i buy in Italy and bring back is still better than the exported Italian olive oil available here 🤷)

Well done everyone as that was wonderful to watch. Francesca knows what she wants and I would not like to disagree with her! she has more energy that I , just incredible and Vicky well done you mastered the the making. I adore wild bore when it's available which in London is not often, but its very special when you can find it especially if it's cooked for you by Francesca ! Thanks everyone. Ramon x

Even until the 1980's and 90's there really wasn't any way for southern Italian women to escape bad situations. They went from their father's houses straight to their husbands with no exception.

lol, Cutting the fat off the boar because they don't want it "too fatty" while pouring "Two shots of Vodka"'s worth of Olive oil in the pan had me cracking up!

Subtitles are really welcome. Or just put the Italian names or words that are not subtitled.

I thought the dough was cheese. 😂😂

This is interesting, I love the shape and I will try it... but there is no way 20 minutes in boiling water is right for fresh pasta even if frozen, usually is about 4-5 minutes (2-3 if not frozen...) 10 minutes if dry... even if it's not a pasta that cook fast 20 minutes are just way too much.

Tried them... actually they need a lot more time than I was think possible... For me it was 18 minutes so I think about 20 it is right.

This tank to the constant brainwash from Pharma companies, media and ignorant doctors that they make people believe that fat from animals are not good for health. Everything is good when consumed in the right amount.

I was wondering... with all the money that you make off of these nonne do you ever gift them something? It sometimes feels like you are exploiting them for your own benefit.

Love watching the Pasta Grannies. I was surprised they didn't add garlic to the sauce...
