Nonna Mia!
Canada
Приєднався 25 бер 2020
While the musical turned movie - "Mamma Mia!" - holds a special place in the hearts of many, we hope that you fill find "Nonna Mia!" to be just as wholesome, endearing, and even more funny! Subscribe for the best content from our adorable Nonna.
Nonna (Raffaella) was born in Belsito, Cosenza, a village of about 1000 people, in the Calabrian interior. In 1958, at 19, and newly married, Nonna & Nonno moved to a small town north of Toronto (Ontario), where they had 5 children and 7 grandchildren.
When the Covid lockdown began in March 2020, making these videos seemed like the perfect way to pass the time and have fun, with the added benefit of creating a time-capsule of Nonna's cherished recipes. Making these videos has also proved to be an excellent way to get some physical exercise (especially given Covid) and most importantly, to exercise her brain, to help slow her dementia.
We hope you enjoy Nonna's zest for life, enthusiasm for la Cucina Italian, and her love for her family!

Nonna's Ricotta Castagnole with Chocolate Amaretto Sauce (e112)
Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandma), shows us how she makes Italian Ricotta Castagnole. These delicious fried sweet dough balls, take their name from castagne, or chestnuts, because of their chestnut size.
And though a classic Carnavale treat, they are enjoyed year-round.
It’s an easy recipe with options for variation to suit everyone. You will need:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of ricotta (
- 2 tablespoons of Amaretto, vanilla extract, or a flavour of your choic
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- zest of an orange
Chocolate sauce:
- 1/2 cup of whipping cream
- 1/2 pound of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons of Amaretto, more if you would like a stronger flavour or use essence of your choice
In a standing mixer, combine all the ingredients. Once the dough begins to gather, transfer to a dusted board and knead until smooth. Nonna likes to make homemade ricotta, which is easily made should you wish to try her recipe: ua-cam.com/video/65Da_bXf57k/v-deo.html
Allow the dough to rest for at least 15 minutes, and then begin rolling the balls. Using water in the palm of your hand will help. This recipe yields about 30 balls, but it will depend on their size.
Heat canola oil or alternative oil, ideal for frying. Once hot, begin frying the balls to a golden brown. It will take about 5 minutes. Place on paper towels, to absorb excess oil.
Once cool you can sprinkle with icing sugar or granulated sugar … options are endless, plain, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, and so on. In this video,
they demonstrate a chocolate Amaretto sauce. This is quickly whipped up by heating the cream, melting in the chocolate, and then once fully melted, adding in the Amaretto. Then dip, drizzle, or completely dunk and enjoy!!
Buon appetito!

You're great! Thank you for the recipe. I hope you get more likes, because you deserve lots of them. Home cooked food just like it was meant to be. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks wonderful Nonna!
Ti amo nonna !!!❤😊
I wish you were my Nona! 💖⚘️ Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I loved this recipe sooo much, but every time I make it, my dough is like caramel😮 very sticky😢 What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much for sharing this recipe 🥰🤗💐🙏💕
This looks delicious, why no ricotta cheese ?
I can't wait to try this recipe. My grandparents came to the US from Calabria many years ago. My grandmother used to make a zucchini salad with charred, crushed mint and red wine vinegar dressing. Do you know about how to make that? I've been trying to find a recipe and never have yet. My attempts have not been as successful as I'd hoped.
Do you know how you could freeze the cookies?
Unglazed is best. They freeze well in any airtight container/freezer bag.
Hi, Nonna! My grandma Carmella was from Sicily, and I love hearing you talk. Love your videos! Can you please tell me where you got your beautiful apron? ❤
Love you Nona mia from cape town 😘
Wow! Cape Town. You are the first person who has ever written me from South Africa. I’m so excited. 🥰😍
Thank you for such a wonderful recipe, your family is blessed to have you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Prego cara. You’re such a wonderful support to me. Grazie Frances. 🥰
Carissima nonnina sei simpaticissima.............yeaaaah!!!!🍋❤
Awww Grazie cara. Bacioni 😘 😘
Thank you Bella Nonna Mia 🙏❤

Greetings from Utah!
Thank you bella!🤗
She's adorable 😊
Grazie cara. 🥰
Hello, Nonna I miss you very much Are we going to have some new videos? All the best to you and your family 💖
I hope so cara … 💛🙏
Sounds nice but the almonds are not written in the recipe ingredients.. but they look delicious⚘️
Grazie. Sorry. It’s not clearly written. “First, Nonna roasts up 2 cups of almonds at about 325 for approximately 12-15 min. She then chops up half and leaves the rest whole. Nonna uses almonds with the skin on, though some prefer blanched almonds - both are great, use whatever you prefer.”
my family is from Cozens as well, Rendi is where my grandmother was born. and other family is still in Cozens.
Wonderful! My cousin lives in Rendi too!! 😍😍
I miss you, love your Energy and spirit. Your video came up and it reminds me I have not made these in a long time, I need to make them again I love it with a cup of coffee!! I hope you had a wonderful Mothers’ Day with your family❤️🌷🌹💐
Thank you so much bella. I must try to make another video soon. Baci 🥰

Hello, what lemoncello is, becouse I would like to make this cake, but I do not know what it is, please.
It’s a lemon liqueur. You don’t have to use it. You can substitute with lemon syrup / lemon juice and sugar brought to a boil and cooled - if you prefer.
@@nonnamia7890thank you very much, you helped me too much.
Sign me up, I want to join "delicious town"
You’re cute. 🤗
Grazie Bella nonna, ora provo a farlo per mio marito. spero che siano buoni come i tuoi.
