87 year old Betta makes tagliatelle al ragù! | Pasta Grannies

Lovely Betta shares her recipe for tagliatelle with ragù, a meat sauce. Meat - carne in Italian - means a mixture of beef and pork, rather than chicken or rabbit. This is her mother's recipe and it was served on special occasions.
Her recipe ingredients are: 300g 00 flour and 3 eggs for the pasta. For the ragù: half an onion, carrot and celery. 200g unsmoked pancetta (pork belly) and 400g minced beef, one glass red wine, 400ml tomato passata, salt. Parmigiano cheese is optional for serving.

That is a face that has smiled for longer than I've been alive
I hope I have a life that makes me happy for so long and gives me such wisdom

Betta was born in 1935 and was a small child during WWII. No wonder they were poor, but hearty survivors. It’s glorious to see she lived to have an easier life. Thank you for sharing her story

Watching this made me cry as I miss my Italian grandma who’s passed away. This used to be exactly the same pasta as she made.

I ❤️ how the nonnas are always smiling in every video. I always smile along with them 😊 it’s infectious ❤️

I made homemade pasta yesterday for the first time ever. The house was quiet so the only thing I could hear was the Pasta Grannies theme song playing in my head. Even though I used an electric machine, their simple ways were a big encouragement to try making it for myself. The result was fantastic and very gratifing. Thanks everyone!

Her smile says it all. There is love and deserved pride in her meals.

Who needs a michelin star restaurant when you can have this?? Nothing else than honest food which comes from the heart and prepared with so much love!! just respect to this nonnas for all those great meals they prepared for their families every day in their life 😍❤

edit: and look at the quality of the products she using... no bad quality even if they have not much money

A pleasure to watch. There seems to be a "universal" language/presence emanating from these Grannies/Nonnas. Even though your own grandmother may have been very different looking, spoken a different language & given you different food. They all seem to exude that air of comfort & happiness; plus you just know the food is going to be tasty & a hug on a plate.

I know I say it every time, but these grannies and occasional granddad are so cheering. At the end of a stressful week it's relaxing and heartening to watch them. This is one of my favourite youtube channels

87 and still very active, her mind is quick, a true testament of the Italian way of life and diet.

These women and their family knowledge are national freaking treasures and need to be protected at all costs! 👍

[choccymilk]

This technique of rolling the tagliatelle is so clever, that way you just take them in the middle and they unfold on their own ! Thank you ♥

[claudiomenesesc]

My grandmother was from Bologna, a true DOC, and what a cook she was...Thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories.

this channel is a beautiful ode to european eating culture as well as italian. it is also possibly recording last people who lived a full life before the internet and all the changes it brought including take out food. it reminds me of my family, my grandma and all the european countries who have grandmas and grandpas just like these.
