When it comes to comfort food, Italian food has become a worldwide favourite. Whether it’s Pasta or Gelato, Risotto or Pizza – there are so many delicious Italian recipes. Pasta in particular has found a fan base of its own among food lovers. Although we use store-bought pasta for everyday use, many households in Italy have a tradition of making their own pasta at home. Homemade pasta means that the process starts from scratch – right from kneading the dough to cutting different pasta shapes. One such video of an Italian woman making pasta at home left an impression on Reddit. The 86-year-old manages the whole process with such hands-on ease, you’ll be stunned!

In the video, we can see an elderly Italian woman making Ravioli pasta from scratch. Ravioli is a stuffed noodle made by adding filling to thin sheets of pasta. The video’s caption reveals that it is the grandmother of the user featured in the video and is 86 years old. She started by adding egg yolks to all-purpose flour and kneading the dough by hand. Then, she used a long cylindrical rolling pin to flatten the dough out and make it as thin as possible. When she has finished rolling the pasta, she adds small portions of the filling to it. She meticulously details the whole process so you can’t help but be hypnotized.
The video of an Italian woman making pasta from scratch has received rave reviews from Reddit users. Many people want to know the recipe and secret of making pasta of the 86-year-old man. Others feel that making pasta at home is a dying tradition.
