Sara is a ninety-year-old lady living in Nicotera, the Italian village in Calabria where the Mediterranean Diet was firstly identified by dr. Ancel Keys in the 50s. The music you hear in this video is a ‘chitarra vattiente’ a 12-chords beating guitar of Calabrian origin. Sara still uses old tools to make fileja, a sort of macaroni, which are usually prepared with meat sauce. In this video, she prepares both fileja and tagliatelle while carefully explaining how to make them correctly, i.e. paying great attention to the quality of ingredients and to the method of mixing the ingredients. She also specifies how fresh eggs react when they are really fresh and how important is to benefit from her husband’s help. Then, she shows how to dry up the pasta, when you have little space at home.
