Ida calls her pasta ‘maccaruni cui feri’ while in Italian it’s maccheroni, but however you want to call them, these hand rolled macaroni shapes are fun to make, and are delicious served with freshly foraged porcini mushrooms. You can of course use ordinary mushrooms. This dish is vegan up to the point you add optional cheese at the end. Here are the ingredients:
for the pasta: 200g 00 flour, 200g semola rimacinata, 200ml of water.
for the sauce: 500g diced mushrooms, 1 garlic clove, 500g bottled, tinned or fresh tomatoes, handful basil leaves, salt, extra virgin olive oil
87y old Eda lives in the pretty Village of Juliano dioma Lazio she belongs to a senior citizens Club run by her friend Bianca and we went mushroom hunting with Bianca this beach Woodland is an ideal spot for Pini mushrooms J is ‘s sister who lives opposite Eda is using a half half
Mixture of z00 and similar flowers this is around 4 100 G in total she makes a well and adds a little bit of water at a time to form a stiff dough She kns it for a good 10 minutes Speee speech spee so AA pulls pieces off and checks if they’re needed Enough by rolling one when making pasta for her family she leaves the dough to rest overnight in the fridge so the gluten relaxes for us AA puts the dough in a bag while she makes the mushroom sauce
It’s this is not her family’s olive oil as their last Olive Harvest was so poor AA preps the porini she briefly rinses them then using her Nona knife she removes any damaged bits scrapes the stalks and then roughly dices them into her pan smells amazing next she peels a garlic clove
Which she adds whole and will remove before serving she Seasons the mushrooms with salt they need several minutes to fry in the olive Oil should make this is a jar of eda’s bottled Tomatoes she Scoops in around half a jar for this sauce chunks are better than Pata AA likes to freeze her Basel for use in the winter months she pours in a little water and leaves the mixture to
Simmer to make her macaroon Eda cuts off a chunk of pasta and pulls pieces off it which she rolls to form short cylinders about 7 cm long she places her Pharaoh or iron Rod along the pasta bullet and rolls it briskly under flat Palms her Pharaoh was an umbrella spoke
And the bent nature of it actually helps to stop the pasta from sticking there is a yearly Saga or food festival in August when everyone in the village makes macaroon in the morning of the event you can hear the clacking of the rods in the [Applause]

Buonissimo! Grazie! 💚
Another lovely and talented nonna! Thank you so much!
A simple dish, but with pasta and porchini that fresh, you could serve it to a king…I'm glad the neighbours there are friends, that's how a village is meant to work. I wonder what they did with the giant pumpkins…

Whenever I make "maccarruni" I see the hands of my great grandmother rolling dough on Sunday mornings.
One of my favorite pastas to make. My nonna (who was also named Ida), and now me, use a nonna knife as well. 😁
Sah so lecker aus.❣😋
No idea what is semola rimacinata, can anyone help?
Che meraviglia! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So wonderful to give attention to such talent. Thank you.
It’s,pronounced macarooni?
Ida is extraordinary! Brava!!
That looks delicious. Ida seems very shy but very proud (as she should be) at the same time. Brava!
I so love that Ida uses a “Nona knife”! She made it look so easy to create such a fantastic and fresh dish of pasta, along with Bianca’s foraging skills, of course! How wonderful to live among people who share their love of food with each other. TFS, Sharon🤗♥️🍝
This makes me want to pack up and move to Italy. Such a beautiful environment with wonderful people….and the food……Thanks Vicky & Team!❤❤❤
Another magnificent video, thank you for sharing.
As much as I love every granny in this series, I’m equally in love with their beautiful kitchens. They may not be the most modern, although most have all the convenience items you could ever want, they are full of character and made to last, just like the grannies themselves. It is so different than the all white and stainless steel popular in my part of the US right now, and I’m so glad. Everyone is different though, so you should have whatever makes you happy in the kitchen.
Beautiful fresh Porcini mushrooms. Gorgeous dish. Grazie, bella 1:33
Such a sweet old lady! Her recipe and pasta looks delicious
I would eat this every day! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing!
Ohhh, how wonderful to have access to fresh porcini. I forage for mushrooms from time to time with a knowledgeable friend, and we do sometimes find porcini, but they are fairly rare here. So delicious.
Awesome recipe mam, please show Italian braciole recipe please
MMMmmm voglio mangiare questo piatto 😋
💐🙏
All the gentleness of her nature is there in her disarming smile, in her actions ….the charming , soft spoken, shy way she converses.
Love you Nona . Thank you for your delicious recipe.
Wish I could have had a closer look at the way you have piled your hair In a sweeping upward style.
mmm yumbo city limits!
It's incredible to see the difference in local ingredients like olive oil. When you buy it in Canada, you know what country it comes from. When you buy it in Italy, you know the exact village. I bet it smells amazing.
Reminds me so much of my Nana…especially with her long hair up in the “bun”❤
My mother would have thoroughly enjoyed these videos. How I wish she was here to watch them with me! She told me how her mother made pasta so quickly and easily and always made enough to share with neighbors. That was here in America. My grandmother came here when she was a young married woman, leaving her family in Italy. I never knew my grandparents but i somehow feel a connection with these beautiful people preparing these beautiful meals. Thank you, Vicky!! 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏🥰😘
Grazie Mille Ida ❤
Deliciosa pasta!
What a lovely lady and so skilled at making the maccaruni which looked out waveringly delicious ! Thank you Vicky and team. Ramon x
Lecker!
I just love this channel and all the wonderful gannies starring in the videos. Watching them calms me down
Another fantastic video Vicky & team ❤
Missing my nonna. For those who's nonnas' are still alive, love them. ❤❤❤
I love how Ida is clear this isn't 'her' olive oil, this is olive oil she bought. LOL. Love these videos!
That looks so so delicious!!
