How Grannies Make Fresh Pasta in the Streets of Bari, Italy

Hidden in the streets of Bari, Italy is a small alley where a dozen grannies make fresh pasta by hand every day. They have been there for decades, carrying forward a tradition passed down over generations.

Today, Via Arco Basso, the alley where they live and work, has become a rite of passage for tourists and locals looking for great pasta and a breath of authenticity. One of the grannies, Nunzia Caputo, shows us how she makes Bari's most emblematic pasta shape: orecchiette with semolina flour.
