homemade pasta

Homemade pasta, seriously the best thing eva’!

My ex-roomy and I had said, just like that one day, “Hey we should make our own pasta”... then he went out and bought a pasta machine and started without me!
I am not mad but now he is better than me.

A few weeks ago we made ricotta and parmesan filled pasta goodness with homemade sauce all from scratch. I have never in my life tasted something so good... fresh pasta is the bomb!

I got to roll out the pasta sheet ONCE till ex-roomy fired me and assigned me to an easier more foolproof task...stuffing the pasta.
This weekend we are going for round two.

Have I graduated to level 2?
Will he let me use the fancy pasta maker machine?
Or will he just show off his incredible skills and make me watch?

I swear I will do better, my pasta sheets will be more proportional and less slanted and weirdly shaped, I promise, scouts honour!

to make pasta you need this machine

and

when hooked onto the kitchen table, rolling pasta towards the outside of the table, you need a pretend wall

to stop the dogs from eating the pasta as it comes out of the machine!

then your kitchen will ressemble a hot mess like this one

once at work

you need a picture like this

of the men in the kitchen, rolling and stuffing pasta

...even though husband's participation started

and stopped at this picture, shhh!

you also need a picture like this so that when I ask for my badge

to pass on to level two, ex-roomy wont be able to say

"when did you make pasta? never. no memory. level one"

you need to cook the sauce while making the pasta

this is where my multitasking skill paid off

and voila!

fresh pasta

Have you ever made homemade pasta?
