94 yr old Maria makes tagliatelle with tomato sauce! | Pasta Grannies - Video

This is a simple, but so good recipe.
94 year old great-grandmother Maria is from Marche where she and her husband started a winery called Cantina Bastianelli. It's flourishing, just like its founder! Here she is, making tagliatelle with tomato sauce. The addition of duck eggs gives a richer flavour but of course hen eggs are fine too.
For the pasta: 400g 00 flour (maybe a bit more if using ducks eggs which tend to be larger) 4 duck eggs
For the tomato sauce; 400ml passata or kilo of fresh (ripe) toms put through a food mill. 1 fresh onion, 5 garlic cloves, 1 carrot, two celery sticks (either add whole and remove, or chop finely), salt and a handful of basil leaves (remove before serving). Parmigiano to serve
