  1. I can't tell you how fun this episode was to make! Ada is so special and I hope you all enjoy learning from her as much as I did. Also, be sure to check out Pasta Grannies channel for a lot more pasta education (pastacation)!

  10. Great episode Dan! I’m inspired to cook my wife a dinner with fresh pasta, butter and cheese. Have you thought about doing an episode on vanilla? There’s French, Mexican, Madagascar, vanilla bean, etc. It’s popularity and some common or uncommon uses.

  16. sorry Dan. Everything Ada showed you, and showed us over her stints on Pasta Grannies, is totally different than what you did. I think you would do well to use the tried and true methods of 80, 90, almost 100 year old Nonne…

  23. Thanks for this video. I'm inspired to make homemade pasta again; it's been a while. I have a Marcato Atlas 150 hand cranked pasta roller/cutter for small batches, as well as a Marcato Pasta Fresca electric mixer/roller/cutter for larger batches, but I really need to practice making it by hand, as my grandmother taught me to how do more than 50 years ago.

  29. omgosh, thank you Dan & Ada
    ( Ada is so beautiful! )
    Dan, if Ada is serious about teaching you, you HAVE to go! I’d leave in a heartbeat, too.

    As a matter of fact, if you guys need help doing dishes, keeping the kitchen clean, washing & folding laundry, sweeping, dusting, tending the garden ~ I’m free! It would be heaven!

  33. Dan, this is a great video and I really enjoyed seeing you and Ada. This is exactly how my mom would make pasta although her rolling pin was not nearly as long. Ada must be very strong. The action of hanging the dough over the side is very important and one I use too. My maternal grandmother also made it this way and would make many many ravioli. Since she didn't have a large place to lay them out, they were put on top of a freshly cleaned and ironed sheet on top of the bed. Just picture a whole bed full of ravioli!
    As a child it was my job to seal them with a fork. Dan if I were you I would get your butt to Italy and stay with Ada, that is something you should not miss! Or come to my house in FL and we will make ravioli. Xo
