  • It's time for a cannelloni revival! Chef and teacher Carla Tomasi's recipe is delicious. It's easier than ravioli and lighter than lasagna.
    Notes on this recipe:
    Carla's rule of thumb when making pasta dough is: weigh your eggs. Then to calculate the flour, double this amount and subtract 10 grams. So in this video, the 3 eggs were 168g and Carla added 326g of 00 flour.
    For the filling you need:
    300g chard or chard and spinach - picked over and cleaned weight
    250g cows milk ricotta - well drained (or sheep's milk - more flavour but also more watery)
    4 tablespoons grated parmigiano reggiano
    several scrapes of nutmeg, salt and pepper
    a tablepspoon of chopped fresh marjoram
    For the thin béchamel sauce:
    300ml full fat milk
    30g butter
    20g plain flour
    Salt and black pepper
    Lemon zest
    Few mint leaves- chopped

    She should start her own channel. She is very good at explaining these methods and addressing issues that people might face.
    That point about the eggs is the biggest for me. My pasta got sooooo much better when I started using fresh eggs from my friends' chickens rather than store bought.

    • @yvonnebnv
      @yvonnebnv Před 2 měsíci

      I buy Jidori eggs from a local Asian market. The yolks are dark, dark golden with a reddish hue. They are just as rich in flavor and make really tasty pasta!

  • @jerommeramirez1403
    @jerommeramirez1403 Před 3 lety +109

    SHE IS SO RIGHT WHEN SHE SAYS U WILL NEVER BE HAPPY AGAIN WITH THE STUFF U BUY AFTER U MAKE YOUR OWN PASTA.

    • @nano15j
      @nano15j Před 3 lety +2

      Totally! You'll still eat storebought pasta but you wont be happy with it ;)

      Nanou Yeah, store bought pasta fell in the category in which I also keep Maggi.

    I love that Italian cuisine has so many vegetarian friendly options

    • @marcn6
      @marcn6 Před 3 lety +36

      You are right. Italian cuisine is a poor one and back in the days meat was a luxury that only few could afford on a daily basis. Therefore traditional recipes involve a lot of cheap legumes and vegetables or make use of every leftover (like cannelloni)

    • @OO-bq1ff
      @OO-bq1ff Před 3 lety +1

      ...And still when you visit someone they often cook with meat and fish... unfortunately

    • @OO-bq1ff
      @OO-bq1ff Před 3 lety +2

      This is her own version of cannelloni. No marjoram, mint and lemon zest or pecorino are in the original version

    • @pizzaperson1
      @pizzaperson1 Před 3 lety +2

      Yes Italians were ones very poor and most could not afford meat. They had to be clever to turn foods that were not considered human (foods like corn polenta and other grains seeds reserved for animals) into palatable an delicious foods !

    Carla is a lovely teacher and I have learned a lot even the little tricks that she was kind to share.

Does anyone else watching Pasta Grannies find it therapeutic and wholesome, especially with the current climate that we are in?

    I made this recipe with fresh egg pasta, leaving out the marjoram and mint. My wife loved it. It was my first attempt at cannelloni and thanks to this excellent tutorial, it turned out perfecto. I will make it again, next time including the marjoram and mint. Also, I should have watched the video closer for the pasta thickness. One click thinner on the machine would have made a more delicate end result. When the cannelloni is rolled up on itself it compounds the overall thickness of pasta. Go with a thin setting.

    Carla is fantastic to watch, and her explanations on fresh eggs, wood surfaces, how to use a pasta roller, the additions of mint and lemon zest to the béchamel sauce are tips you just don't get from anyone else but a master chef!
    I could watch her perform her skills all day!
    Thank you again for such a wonderful treat.

    Made this yesterday. Wow! Sublime! I just joined the Pasta Grannies community recently. Calling it "subscribing" does not give it justice. Loved this video and all the tips. My arms are tired from the kneading but I persisted and they turned out beautifully. Although I ended up with double the pasta needed. Its ok I just sliced it all up, cooked it and threw on some pesto from my freezer. And back into freezer for a pasta meal next week!

    This video is wonderful. I wish I’d watched it the first few times I tried to do pasta for cannelloni. It’s a meal I love to serve to guests, but the pasta making part has been so intimidating…I haven’t done it enough to gain confidence. This video gave me the confidence! First important tip: weighing eggs to know exactly what amount of flour to use. Second - seeing how much flour was used to help keep pasta dry during the flattening process was very helpful. Thank you!!!
