About this Item

Title

  • Homegrown Foodways in West Virginia: Ravioli and Sauce with Lou Maiuri

Summary

  • Lou Maiuri, 92, is the son of Italian immigrants who arrived in West Virginia in the early 1900s. "Italians are big on food," Lou says from his basement cellar, where the shelves are lined with preserved peppers, canned beans, and a family-recipe pasta sauce he's been making for 70 years. Mike and Amy often find themselves exploring Italian-American foodways in West Virginia in places like Clarksburg's historic Glen Elk District with its bakeries and delicatessens, at traditional spaghetti houses, and with seasoned cooks like Maiuri, who shares his recipe for homemade pasta sauce and ravioli in this video.
