My Nonna was from Mola di Bari! I'd like to learn to make the dishes she cooked for me when I was little. Her names for things were in her dialect and I only know how the words sounded to me, not what they would be in proper Italian. Some of them are easy to figure out. One of them that's not easy is her word for pastina soup that sounded like "codaline". After much searching, I've not been able to find her actual word for it and if it's her dialect for pastina, or a completely different word altogether. Her word for cartelatte sounded like "cattedat". Knowing what the actual words are now, I can understand where her dialect pronunciation comes from, but her word for pastina soup has me puzzled.
