Homemade pasta on a Sunday afternoon
Posted on | October 16, 2009 | 23 Comments
OK, so it was TWO Sundays ago. Things have been busy around here. I’m working my hind end to a pancake sitting in this here chair, typing-typing-typing and trying to find just the right words. Work is good. Very good. Yay, work!
But so yeah… two Sundays ago this happened:

Lila had to be in on the fun. She’s fast with her little hands.

and she’s an excellent pasta machine technician.

but then she went to play at the neighbor’s and I got to fold and slice the Tagliatele.

and foolishly piled the nearly two pounds of noodles all in one giant lump, then had to toss them so they wouldn’t stick together while the water came to a boil. The noodles stretched and twisted and became a big mass of awkward.

That tasted like heaven anyway. Most delicious noodles I have ever eaten. Ever.
Note to self: buy some studio lights, fer feck sake. Enough with the yellow-glowing food shots. Jeeze.

Hello Gorgeous! That looks so good I’m super hungry and I have frozen homemade pasta in the freezer…might have to do something like this. What pasta recipe do you follow when you make your own?

Oh, yum. Was it hard? I have a pasta machine that was my mom’s and always wanted to try it but just haven’t overcome that hurdle yet of thinking it will be really difficult. I wonder if I could mix the dough up in the mixer?

Really. Is that the secret to the great photos on some of the food blogs? Studio lights? I’d been wondering if you had tried making pasta; sounds like you’re on your way. And nice to hear you’re work is going well too.

Homemade pasta is the only way to go. I’ve been making it for years. People don’t really understand how simple it is to make and how much tastier it is than the dry stuff from the store. I’m always extolling it’s virtues trying to get others to do it. It’s amazing how when you have good pasta you don’t really even need a sauce, a little butter or olive oil and some salt & pepper and you have a simple elegant quick meal.
Topping with squash – HEAVEN! Did you add some sage as well?
Cheers – happy rolling!
