I love that these latest episodes have been on Sardinia. I learn something new each time. Artichoke Cops! Nicolette’s own artichokes and olive oil must add a freshness that cannot be duplicated. This is yet another gleaming example of your channel being the best of KZread. Thanks, as always, and God Bless, Nicoletta!

Here we have proof of how many types of lasagna exist in Italy. There is no such thing as a "standard" lasagna. In every region, in every village and in every family, everyone has a bit of their own version. PS: But this of course also applies to other dishes and other specialties.

@@natrixxvision6997 Indeed, because if one speaks in general about "Italian cuisine," one says everything, but in fact says nothing. The various regional cuisines, the various local cuisines and also, it must be said, the various cuisines from household to household, from family to family, even in the same city, make the cuisine in Italy something you never end up discovering. Everywhere you go, you find a new surprise (and this of course also applies to us Italians !).

The national similarities are that the recipes always make the most of seasonal, local and fresh ingredients which is wonderful to see.

"It couldn't be better than this." She's fabulous! Thank you.

I love when the grannies love their own food! It always seems weird to me when they use a disposable aluminum pan or other modern things.

After fifty+ years of cooking this is the first time I've seen lasagne made with thick pasta sheets. Brilliant! The dish looks so delicious in the opening shot I practically gasped!

She’s adorable and the lasagna looks amazing!!

Thank you Nicolletta! Big hugs from the west coast of Canada. 🌸🤗🌸

Gratzias, Segnora. Ta bontade! Grazie, Signora. Che bontà! Thanks, Mrs. Delicious!

Nicoletta is ADORABLE! The lasagna looks AMAZING! I love Nicoletta's finesse with the pan here 3:25. 👍🏼👍🏼🧡😊

That looks fantastic, and a sublime timing since I wanted to make an artichoke dish this weekend. And I loved the story at the start about the local constabulary.

Boiling is only needed for dried pasta. There are dried lasagna noodles that are made to be used dried. They will specify "no-boil" or some such thing on the package. These are actually pre-cooked during the manufacturing process. For traditional dried pasta noodles, you should follow the cooking instructions on the package. One thing to note about the no-boil noodles: they do not have surface starch. With traditional noodles, that surface starch helps bind the noodles to the layers above and below. It is similar to the reason you should put a little pasta water into your sauce when you are making a sauce for spaghetti, penne, etc.

If the dough is made with 00 flour and eggs the pasta sheets are “ lessate” or boiled for few seconds one by one and then soaked in cold water to stop cooking and dried on a cloth for enhancing the flavor and get better with other ingredients as ragù , cheese and bechamel , in this case she doesn’t use 00 flour neither eggs so the consistency it’s different . The base of a good lasagna is the combination pasta / other ingredients do not overpower each other and the consistency should be about the same . Ciao 🇮🇹

Vicky, I just received my two pasta granny books. I had put my name on the waiting list since May and they came two days ago I am so happy I could not sleep at 4:30 in the morning so I poured over my new pasta granny book for hours. The first thing I noticed was that you said do not call these grannies "cute" as they are beautiful ladies and men who have come from Hard Times and made the best of what they had into something wonderful for their family. I love the new book and I did have to catch myself especially looking at the lady with the polka dotted dress, I said "she is so cute" and she is. Thank you for this precious collection of recipes that can be passed on to generations.

Yum. I would love this. Need to plan a trip of Sardinia.

Yum, yum! :) I adore lasagna with besciamella, and I adore artichokes. Now I have to make this version, especially as my local Italian market imports wonderful Pecorino Sardo and other Sardinian hard cheeses. I make an artichoke sauce from the artichoke hearts and chicken broth with butter which my mother taught me to make. Also, love them stuffed, of course, and "Jewish" or Roman style deep fried, and marinated under oil. I always have the marinated jarred ones in the house, along with marinated olives and marinated vegetables (giardiniera). I can't eat a sandwich, even if it's a turkey or chicken one without these to accompany it. That or an Italian salad. She's a hoot, too! Love her.

Was thinking someone else was doing the voice-over 'till I saw you at the end. Sounded close, but different. [tickly throat?] That was a lot of work, but I bet it was worth it. Liked the trick of sizing the pasta through the tinfoil tray. Always pleasing when the sheets fit exactly. It's fair put me in the mood to grow artichokes again next year. You don't get a big yield, but what you do get is so tasty. Many thanks as always, J 🍝

@@pastagrannies Hope the cold is all gone now. For a shortish period I was in charge of plantings for a large house & its gardens. I always did my best to sneak in large architectural edibles like artichokes, alexanders & cardoons...etc in the herbaceous borders. I like beauty we can eat. 😋

I was just thinking about how professional and amateur chefs in other countries are endlessly trying to perfect the cheese mixture for some dish, sourcing cheeses from speciality shops etc, desperately trying to create an authentic taste - and the authentic italian granny doesn't even remember the name of the cheese and throws in something a shepherd gave her 🤣

👍👍👍

It’s tasty, that’s for sure but I always wonder if it’s worth the effort. I can understand using it if you can grow it yourself without too much effort, but buying it seems rather pointless. That being said, I would love a bite of this lasagna. I’d even take a hit from that roller to grab a spoonful.

I'm surprised she didn't cook the lasagna sheets

OMG🤯😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Well, vegetarian if not using real PDO peccorino...the lamb stomach component for the rennet is so tiny it probably won't make any longterm vegetarians ill, just maybe unhappy if you don't consult with them over what they consider as "animal was killed for this" vs. "cleaning up after the folk who ate the rest of the lamb". Thanks for thinking of us, though! This looks absoloutely *amazing* and I am quite tormented by the far north's lack of artichokes. It's immensely pleasing to hear Nicoletta evaluate her work honestly as a longterm artichoke-eater and confirm it's as good as it looks, too - good for her!

@@AirrowRocket ??? I've been vegetarian for over 20 years and I assure you we don't eat drippings (gelatin, lard, rennet) squeezed directly out of dead flesh either. A lot of supermarket cheeses are now vegetarian because GMO (lab-grown) rennet is cheaper than transporting industrial quantities of dried calves' stomachs these days, but *most old-fashioned certified regional cheeses need to use animal rennet* to keep their 'traditional' certification, as that was what was used in the certified recipe. *Don't assume all cheese is veggie!* (or pastry-type biscuits, or chocolate mousse, or any of the other things companies randomly add dead animals to for "luxury" or increased shelf life.) I curse Sacla's name because they used to do a good standard pesto I could eat, but then decided to make their brand more expensive with real...parmesan, I think it is, and charge even more for a planet-destroying vegan version (no vegetarian option) which they force gluten-free folk to buy too...wretchedly cynical exploitation all round.

Vicki, did anyone ask why she did not parboil the pasta before making the lasagna? Was it due to the type of flour she used? Thinking of making this for the holidays.

@pastagrannies

If you don't parboil, the pasta needs to be either very thin or very fresh and there should be a little bit of liquid in the bake for the pasta to absorb it. I hope this helps, best wishes, Vicky
