Watch 95 year old Rachele making 'maccheroni a descita' | Pasta Grannies

A special edition this week with another 95 year old Granny, Rachele from a tiny village called Sant'Agata in Puglia. She is making, with the help from her daughter Domenica, a local favourite: maccheroni a descita, or cavatelli. This is served on special occasions with stuffed cuttlefish or seppia in Italian.
The fried breadcrumbs served with the pasta are because traditionally people could not afford the cheese. Also it had a nice crunch!
Rachele's family uses 00 flour - while other people in the village use semola flour. 00 flour means the pasta has less bite to it.
