Discover a tuna with basil pesto pasta from Sardinia! | Pasta Grannies 

I’m Sicilian. Made that often, but instead of pesto add a spoonful of plain yogurt. Incredible. BTW, interesting to note how quite a few Pasta Grannies add oil to the water, yet you hear some people scream “Italians don’t do that”. Yes, some do. Thank you

色々な形のパスタがソースと絡んで食感と味に良い変化をもたらしてそうだね😍✨

Beautiful lady making a beautiful pasta meal! 🥰 I love this channel, not only for the grannies and their recipes, but also because of the lovely comments in different languages from all over the world. Thank goodness for the translate button! 😁

I just love it when you tell a little more about history and the morsel of land you’re visiting. As always, thanks a lot!

Love her cute little mini Tajine salt/nuts .... dishes; also her multi-purpose trays .... Carolina seems to be a great cook. I can imagine the flavors of this dish; but since it's three different shapes she is making, with different amount of dough for each, I would probably cook them separately for even cooking. Sardinia is on my list, hopefully some day soon :)

Last Sunday I had unexpected guests. Four hungry young adults. I did a povere version of it. 1 can of sprats from Poland 106g, 1 can of light chunk tuna 120g, 50g chopped black olives, 20g capers, 500g dry tarantella, 250g industrial pesto, une échalotte finement ciselée, 80g almost parmigiano from Norway 60g (I'm serious 6,99$ CAD 300g), 15g unsalted smashed cashews, olive oil, un peu de beurre, évidemment, pour l'échalotte and more fresh basil. The first five ingredients came from the $ store. Aujourd'hui c'est la Fête Nationale du Québec. Bonne Saint-Jean !

Another gem! I had never heard of this island. That’s part of the joy of this channel. Food and new places. That fresh basil pesto must have been heavenly. You can never have too much basil. Thanks, again!

If you're using canned tuna for this recpie, I'd suggest adding the tuna to the sauce towards the end of the cooking process. Since canned tuna can get a gritty texture from overcooking.

Here it should be noted that the lady speaks in standard Italian. If a Sardinian spoke in his local language (because here we have to speak more of the language than dialect), no one outside of Sardinia would understand him. In addition there is also to say, if in a couple the husband comes from one area of ​​Sardinia and the wife from another area, to understand each other they must speak in standard Italian. Because (as a Sardinian once told me) if everyone speaks in their own dialect, they don't understand each other.

THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 🤤🤤🤤

Ooooo yum! That does look delicious 😋 and it's a great way to eat tuna! I will have to give it a try! Grazie nonnine della pasta!!!!

Must have been reading my mind, just yesterday I bought some fresh tuna and fresh pasta and was thinking about a recipe for the weekend. This might become one of my favourite summer pasta meals 😊

Sempre video preziosi 😀👏

I am so delighted to have discovered your channell!! I guess you could now call me at 65 a pasta granny too but I am norni to my 4 grandkids ages 9, 12, 16, and 21. My husband and I are American Italian with my maternal grandparents from Manfredonia, and my husband's paternal grandparents coming from Naples. My maternal Italian family were in the commercial fishing industry which began in Manfrefonia and then brought to a coastal town R.I. in the US, and my husband's paternal family were farmers and owned a restaurant in Italy and went on to establish one in the US also in R.I. Needless to say we were a match made in Italian food heaven, an according to our grandkids their norni makes the best lasagna on the planet, and their papa puts out a great "pasta fazoole" better than Olive Garden LOL. Your channel brings back so many fond memories of watching, cooking, and collecting dandelion greens and wild mushrooms with our grandparents, as well as late night fishing for smelts which was a must have for our Christmas Eve Feast of the 7 fishes. The days that feast has been scalled down to 3 fishes which is now red clam chowder, stuffed clams, and linguini with clam sauce which the grandkids love as long as the meal includes garlic bread. Times and foods change, but as long as we can gather our family around a table from time to time to share a meal we consider ourselves very blessed.

Μπράβο σας συγχαρητήρια πολλά πολλά πόσο χαίρομαι που σας βλέπω να μαγειρεύετε η εκπομπή σας είναι καταπληκτική μαθαίνω πάρα πολλά από εσάς συνεχίστε της όμορφες εκπομπές συγχαρητήρια πολλά καλή επιτυχία σε ότι κάνετε καλό σαββατοκύριακο 💯💯💯👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

Looks delicious!!!

I was sceptical of making something this simple, but it ended up being so good :))

The Ligurian roots are displayed in the name of her first shape, the cursetti. In Liguria there are corzetti and come in different shapes, but are usually a flat disc, often stamped with a wooden stamp to create a pattern. And, of course, the standard basil pesto....

that is one of our old family recipe's, i think i will be making tuna sauce tonight :)

This is a gold recipe absolutely delicious although we can get the fresh ingredients...my family makes this often! HOW blessed is she to get these ingredients so fresh...Italy I want to live there💕truly beautiful lady🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕 I wonder how much that amount of tuna costs! Here in Canada a little tin of three costs a lot!

Thank you for sharing ♥️

Ms. Vicky another great recipe by a dear soul Ms. Carolina, we do not have this recipe here & the 3 main tuna dishes are all canned chunk light tuna here in Appalchia, 1) tuna casserole= tuna, egg noodles, frozen peas & carrots, diced potatoes & onions, milk, s&p, garlic salt, fresh lemon juice, baked in the oven in casserole dish 2) tuna melt sandwich = tuna, swiss cheese, on fresh baked sliced bread then mayo, 3) tuna salad = tuna, small diced onion, celery, mustard powder, garlic salt, diced boiled eggs, mayo all mixed together, then spread on white bread or toast, God Bless you all.

This looks incredible 😊

This looks soooo good

This is my mother in laws go to quick lunch. Obviously she uses tin tuna though but it’s yummy. I’ve done it with fresh tuna and there’s a big difference in texture. Buon appetito

Marvelous! Thank you.

That looked lovely I want some bit don't want to cook it, I need a grannie!

Nem sei dizer de qual das moças gosto mais, uma comida mais deliciosa que a outra. Obrigada

Lovely looking dish, what a treat having a piece of fresh tuna like that. The texture would be great with the three pasta shapes/textures. Do the three different shapes all cook to the same level of done-ness at the same time or take on different textures? Thinking on it its a posh origin dish of a student/family favourite all over, "Tuna Pasta Casserole". Looks a beautiful area, I know my grandparents used to visit the region many years ago. Can see why they loved it.

Tuna casserole done better. Truly appreciate and enjoy the Pasta Grannies. And, gives me ideas how to make my tuna "casserole" so much better. Thank you!

Carloforte is a completely different place in Sardinia, where ligurian is spoken , and cuisine is Ligurian and arabic related. For sure a place to visit in your next vacations...

That sauce looks marvelous, and I loved the history bit. QUick feedback: the advertisement for your next book popped by so swiftly I almost missed it. (quite looking forward to it!)

My mother would make Spaghetti sauce and use a Tuna fish base on no meat Fridays. it was not my favorite but recently I gave it another try, and I liked it but now I have to convince others to try it and that's hard. My Father was from Sicili and my mother from Italy

If I had that nice piece of tuna here, which the lady used, I would make that dish right away!

What an incredible dish, and very unusual, it looks absolutely delicious, I must ask my butcher who is from Sardinia about this this dish. And I love those baskets, how can we live without one! Thank you Vicky and team, Vicky the look on your face says it all. Ramon.

Cette recette semble délicieuse. Merci ❤️

Adoro aprender os vários tipos de massa.

love tuna pasta😋

How do you choose the cooks?

Love this.. Interesting that she adds olive oil to the pasta water... 🤔

I been wondering what to eat today. I have canned tuna so I am going to try this.

Only 5 basil leaves? Seems very light flavour

I don't know, but if I had access to 500g of fresh tuna, I don't think I'd be using it in this recipe (as delicious as it looks).

la mia Italia ❤️

Olive oil in the pasta water? For Carolina it's traditional, so not 'wrong'. What purpose though? It doesn't 'unstick' pasta and it doesn't have any effect on flavour

What does she do with the remaining dark meat of the tuna?

Türkçe altyazı lütfen Sizi seviyorum ❤️❤️❤️

Delizioso , tuti a la tavola e mangiare 😋

Does anyone know her blog or ig handle?

Now compare this to the pugliese pasta maritata!

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

She FRIES it with a little bit of white wine? 🤣

1. Granny? 2. Festive? 3. Parmesan?

Wow the salt they always use 😳
