WE LOVE YOU CLARA
Is Clara Italian? My italian parents about Claras age, had the same recipies. Claras pizza is exactly like my fathers. The pasta and peas were a staple of my childhood, every time we ate them i was reminded they were depression food.
RIP Clara, you are with the angels now.
Man I'm doing bad when I see this recipe and wish I could afford the cheese
Add a little more water and tomatoes, and your choice of diced veggies and beans, and you have a wonderful Minestrone soup. Love it! Thank you Clara! RIP.
My mom made this for us while we were growing up. I loved my mom's pasta, al dente always!
Looks good, but too bad I’m allergic to pea proteins :/
I just love Clara.
I remember my grandma telling me she doesn't like rice, oatmeal or potatoes because of the Great Depression.
Can’t watch without a huge smile. Thank you for sharing Clara. She’s the best!
I wish I discovered this sooner
I would call it frugal and filling though not nourishing. But she's still a sweetie!
Hey Heavenly Clara 🙂 I love this recipe BUT I don't like mixing potatoes and pasta — though peas (and onions) go perfectly with either. Since I first saw this, back when you were alive, it changed my life: adding peas to pasta. Later, I added a hint of toasted sesame oil and scallions, and often black sesame seeds, minced celery and bits of hot peppers. You live on, to me, in this meal, even if I changed it! 💓
Love to those who keep your memory alive xoxo 💓
I wouldnt use the canned liquid.
Clara really warmed up to the camera as time went on. As seen here she is hardly aware of the interest most would have in her. Very common with the Italians of her generation
Watching this on her birthday and I want to make it really bad in honor it looks so good☹️❤️
My grandma died at 57. I’m so jealous of people with grandmas!
Por favor donde muy conseguir una copia del libro de recetsas de la Señora Clara. Gracias❤️🙏👍🍀
I would love to eat this but I can't eat carbs!
Oh, man! That looks delicious! I’m a vegetarian, and I’d eat this for sure! Is that elbow pasta? Macaroni?
I love this Lady. Sorry she passed. But what a legacy. They dont make 'em like that any more.
just remember meat shall be a treat we don't need meat every day. growungvup I'd ae had meat most likely it would be in a casserole or tacos. rarely did we have steak. lots of chicken though. stews soups. beans. nutrition is the goal not meat all the time. that gets boring too
this video was made when i was born.. I'm so proud..
Wonderful women like this is the reason why back in the day all the family memebers would get together every sunday after church and sit down and eat and fellowship with each other. Without paying attention to phones or anything else. It's sad that not many families do this anymore, but I'm glad Clara reminds me of those times when I was a small child. RIP ❤
I can’t believe I recognize everyone one of her meals from my childhood…. my parents were also depression era children n we eat like this still today!
Clara is proof! Eat foods like peas, pasta, garlic and potatoes and very little to no meat or oil and you will live long and WELL!
My grandfather was involved in the bootlegging trade during the Depression. And when the cops came to raid his house, he hid the booze in the baby crib with my aunt who was an infant at the time. They never found it! Lol I love that my grandpa was such a rebel.
Her depression recipes always looks so good. I just told my husband about the one I watched where she made the egg soup and towards the end she left the eggs stay whole for however many people were eating supper that night. I am going to try that recipe for sure. And thank you for this whoever’s uploaded these. I am in my late 60s my grandparents and parents have all passed away and so my husband’s parents. So this is really a comforting video for me. I like her stories, quick wit, and sweet and sassy personality. I know she has passed on now I send my prayers to you and others that love Clara.🥚🥔🧀😍🌹
I am obsessed with Clara. She is comforting to watch and listen to. Represents a time when the focus was not on selfies, but how to feed your family and make the food stretch and feed your family as healthy as possible. An unselfish Mother, wife, grandmother daughter. just love her, so glad you documented her when you did ,She is a dying breed of woman.
Love it!!!! Hugs

This video was made before I was alive.
