"When you have good ingredients, you don't have to worry about cooking. They do the work for you." – Lucia, 85 Learn how to make pasta like Italian nonnas do. Inspired by the hugely popular YouTube channel of the same name, Pasta Grannies is a wonderful collection of time-perfected Italian pasta recipes from the people who have spent a lifetime cooking for love, not a living: Italian grandmothers. For a nonna, love is putting food on the table, and pasta is the perfect vehicle to make precious ingredients go further. Featuring easy and accessible recipes from all over Italy, you will be transported into the very heart of the Italian home to learn how to make great-tasting Italian food. From pici – a type of hand-rolled spaghetti that is simple to make – to lumachelle della duchessa – tiny, ridged, cinnamon-scented tubes that take patience and dexterity, every nonna has her own special recipe. Pasta Grannies brings together the huge diversity of these authentic dishes and also celebrates the expertise, life and extraordinary stories of the amazing women behind them. Review: Love! - I haven’t actually made anything yet. It is a very well made cookbook and I just love all the stories. Very happy addition to my collection! Review: I have made some of the recipes and here's my opinion - Most of the reviews refer to the youtube channel which is truly a work of archival Italian female cooking history. They are not wrong in their praise. However, I want to let you know that I have made several (not all, not even the majority) of the recipes, and those that I have made are real life, perfect home-cooked food. The ingredients are simple and excellent. Plus, making pasta at home is fun (I confess I use my kitchen aide to roll out the pasta dough because I do not have the skill to hand roll it out. But, regardless, try it, hand rolling or not, it is fun). You should all try Monica's Pasta Basket with Ricotta and Lemon (page 227). I did not have the skill to make the baskets, but made regular raviolis and, along with the sauce recipe, I can honestly I have never had, or made, such an interesting, and at the same, time joyous dish. The ragu recipe on page 158 is also very good.I have purchased many Italian cookbooks which are just to fussy (I am not including Marcella Hazan, those cookbooks are extraordinary). I cannot recommend Pasta Grannies enough. As I work my way through the recipes, if my opinion changes, I will update my review. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,268 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Pasta & Noodle Cooking #17 in Italian Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,590 Reviews | ## Images ![Pasta Grannies: The Official Cookbook: The Secrets of Italy's Best Home Cooks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717CEVx3TBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love! *by M***M on April 22, 2026* I haven’t actually made anything yet. It is a very well made cookbook and I just love all the stories. Very happy addition to my collection! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have made some of the recipes and here's my opinion *by J***S on March 9, 2020* Most of the reviews refer to the youtube channel which is truly a work of archival Italian female cooking history.

I have always followed the pasta grannies youtube channel and have been cooking for 20+ years. This book is awesome because it details the background of each type of pasta, provides a recipe (includes measurements in grams, cups, and oz. (very helpful because a lot of European cookbooks are only in grams), and in depth instructions. It's very visibly pleasing and so fantastic to have all these recipes continue to be passed down from generation to generation. There are so many different types of pasta to choose from and many are very easy. There's also great detailed instructions on how to make pasta from scratch, which is a fun challenge. I hope that I become more efficient and I am able to learn these recipes and pass them on to my grand children! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pasta Grannies: The Official Cookbook: The Secrets of Italy's Best Home Cooks - Pasta Grannies: Comfort Cooking: Traditional Family Recipes From Italy’s Best Home Cooks - Mastering Pasta: The Art and Practice of Handmade Pasta, Gnocchi, and Risotto [A Cookbook] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/112983162-pasta-grannies-the-official-cookbook-the-secrets-of-italys-best](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/112983162-pasta-grannies-the-official-cookbook-the-secrets-of-italys-best) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
