Italian Grandma Shares The ‘Right’ Way To Open Pasta
Nonna Elda is an Italian grandmother from Toronto who is here to change the game for all of the spaghetti lovers out there.
For most of us, the prospect of opening a package of dried spaghetti is a challenging one. No one wants to have to deal with it and if we are being perfectly honest here, it can be frustrating.

That’s where the wisdom of Nonna Elda comes into play. She is here to make life easier for all parties involved. As it turns out, you do not need a knife or a pair of scissors to open up some dried spaghetti. Her method is one of the most impressive things that we have ever seen when it comes to cooking. You won’t be able to believe your eyes!
Instead of the usual methods that we are accustomed to, all she needed to do was hold the bag vertically. From there, she gives it a good smack and the bag simply pops open, easy as you please.

These are the types of grandma hacks that we live for. With age, comes wisdom and the older we get, the more we realize that. It is always better to work smarter, as opposed to working harder.
“You can just give it a good smack and there you go,” says Nonna Elda in the TikTok clip and never truer words have been spoken.

Once the package had been opened, Nonna Elda decided to do us one better. She prepared a delicious spaghetti dinner, giving us the chance to soak up even more of her awesome wisdom.
It’s a dish that is easily prepared but the simplest foods tend to offer up the simplest pleasures. As Nonna Elda says, good ingredients make good food. Sometimes, it is really that easy.

If you enjoyed her tips and pointers as much as we did (and how could you not?), please be sure to pass this one along to your closest friends and loved ones. We have all been making spaghetti for some time now and we thought that we already had all of the knowledge that we could ever need.
Thanks to Nonna Elda, we will now be able to take our spaghetti to a whole new level.
