The film is based on the true story of Enoteca Maria, an Italian restaurant in the Staten Island borough of New York City. “At Enoteca, several Italian grandmothers from different Italian regions cook their own menus on a rotating schedule,” the real Joe Scaravella wrote on the real restaurant’s website.
Leading the Nonnas cast with Vince Vaughn are Joe Manganiello as Bruno and legendary actress Susan Sarandon in the role of Gia, a skilled pastry chef and hairdresser who was close to Joe’s late mother. But while Sarandon’s on-screen specialty is sweets, the 78-year-old shared with Netlflix's Tudum that in real life, her signature recipe leans savory. Even better: She came up with it herself.

What Makes Susan Sarandon’s Favorite Pasta Sauce So Great?
At the heart of the dish is an entire jar of sun-dried tomatoes, which are packed with umami goodness. Sarandon’s recipe also calls for a log of goat cheese to add a creamy texture and a tangy flavor. Add in fundamental Italian ingredients, like onions, garlic and plenty of olive oil, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for a delicious dinner.

How to Make Susan Sarandon’s Sun-Dried Sauce
Cook your pasta (Sarandon likes to use penne or farfalle) according to the package directions, making sure to reserve a cup of pasta water before draining. Reheat the sauce, stirring in some of the pasta water to create a creamy consistency, then toss in the cooked pasta until well coated. Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, if you'd like. For the Italian grandma experience, eat the pasta on the couch while you watch Nonnas!
