Passion for Pasta

I just had to give making pasta a try.  Ottimo! (Excellent)  I really enjoyed the process of kneading and stretching the dough.  A wonderful basic to master, using a glass bottle worked really well.

After the pasta was stretched,  I particularly enjoyed cutting and rolling out the pieces of pasta.   It was satisfying, as at that moment the dough forms glorious pasta.  Lovely!

The Final result.  I made a large batch.  So I cooked half and layered the rest onto a baking tray, ready for tomorrow.  Delicious!  For the recipe check out Paul Swanson’s Blog (it’s easier than it looks).
