If one does not remember what day of the week it is, Pasta Grannies will take care of reminding you with a nice Italian Nonna and a delicious regional Italian dish. 👍❤😋

And now I didn't know that Arborio rice takes its name from that village. I didn't know there was a small town in that region called “Arborio”. Here we not only always discover new Italian local dishes, but also some interesting information.

Che carissima nonna è Giuseppina! She seems like so much fun too, what a wonderful lady ❤

Giuseppina makes me happy with her delicious panissa and her delightful singing! What a lucky family to be loved by her! TFS, Sharon🤗♥️🍝

Giuseppina!! I love the history of her family's copper pot for their special rice and bean dish! So much love has been poured in and out of that pot! It looks so delicious! I prefer arborio rice, and the alternating of stock was a wonderful idea and tradition.

I love this channel I feel like I can learn such love in food passed down from a grandmother I’ve never known priceless

Your wonderful videos transport us to this beautiful country and I just imagine the smells and tastes of the food your guests prepare. I watch and rewatch them to see their kitchens, their families, how the hard work has shaped them and I love seeing that we all have more in common than differences.❤

hi Janet, it's great to hear you like to watch the videos several times. 🙂🌺 best wishes, Vicky

Giuseppina is such a sweetheart and that dish looks wonderful! And now I know which Italian soccer club to root for... FORZA JUVENTUS!!!!!!!!!

Loved this vid.❤Beans cooked at home(not from the cans,but from scratch) accompanied by rice is a very common dish in Albania.Adding some homemade dried meat to the beans ,it becomes a masterpiece.

I endorse Giusappina as a Juventus fan. Forza Juve!!

She is fabulous, I know her grandson and husband laugh daily in her company. A great cook and happy grandmother.

What a sweetheart. Loved the glimpse of the area and the rice fields. Of course I bet the finished dish was delicious! Patti

I also found it interesting about Arborio rice. And as an Italian I didn't know that in that region there was a small town called “Arborio” and that that type of rice took its name from that place. With these videos not only people from various parts of the world learn new things, but we Italians also learn about local dishes, regional dishes that we may have never heard of.

@@simoisdrawing E ci credo ! 😀 Ma io devo dire che in questo video sono venuto a conoscenza del perché quel riso si chiama proprio così. Non sapevo che in quella regione esistesse una cittadina di nome Arborio e che poi quel tipo di riso avesse preso il nome proprio da quel posto. Con questi video anche noi italiani impariamo un sacco di cose ed impariamo a conoscere piatti locali, piatti regionali (specialmente se proveniamo da tutta un’altra zona d’Italia, da tutta un’altra regione) che magari non abbiamo mai sentito. Ma a volte anche dalla stessa nostra regione scopriamo in una determinata città, in un determinato paesino, un piatto che forse non avevamo mai sentito. 😊

This is an excellent episode. I can feel the love.

LOVE this channel, and absolutely adore this segment. Giuseppina is a treasure, and I can't help but note both her appearance and nature to my own grandmother. Now, in the interest of bringing a "cookware concern" to my comment is an observation of her beloved copper pot. Yes, copper is traditional in this recipe and because of its heating properties arguably essential, but copper cookware that is intended for general cooking is traditionally lined with tin (or more recently stainless steel) to prevent a toxic interaction between copper and acidic food ingredients (here, the Barbera wine and tomato paste, for example). The exception is when making sweet concoctions such as candies, syrups and jams where no such chemical interaction occurs, and the beautiful pot here does in fact look like a traditional jam pot. That said, I'm sure the occasional use for Panissa would be fine, but just a note to those planning to buy and use a similar piece of cookware for regular use. Ciao, amici! ❤

Family pot brought back memories of visiting my sister in boarding school in Kenya on Sundays with mum's pilau rice still in the special pot it was cooked in.Families had picnics in the school grounds. This heavy pot was only used for pilau and is still in use today. Mum is 90 and my sister is 67. Happy times

Thank you for including the recipe:) My husband is from Ecuador and most people in the United States think of rice and beans as being a traditional Mexican dish, it is different in his country. I will give this a try as he is not fond of the traditional baked beans we are accustomed to eating in US as they are too sweet. I edit to say that I went to site of Leonardo Invernizzi and did not understand. I would love to buy his rice straight from him and know if he ships abroad???

Very good recipe of rice and I also like her copper cooking pot. These copper pot again in fashion and there are health benefits of these pots. I remember my grandma had a lot of copper pots in late 70s even she used copper glass for water I have one question how is weather of that place because I think rice fields must be humid again 👍for this new and informative episode

I learned something - I had no knowledge of the history of Arborio rice. Very cute when she's singing "Un Bacio Piccolissimo" - that was a famous pop song from the late 50s/early 60s.

There is a big culinary rivalry between the provinces of Vercelli and Novara. They traditionally have two slightly different versions of panissa (or paniscia), both claiming their is better. Giuseppina used a kind of salami that is more typical of the Novara province. Both are equally yummy.Wouldn’t it be be lovely to see the video of a paniscia from Novara?
