HOME MADE PASTA =)
Last night Pier & Claudia made home-made pasta for me... SO Delicious!!! AND t
hey served it with home-made pesto... mmm. The pesto was made the day before with lots of fresh basil, pine nuts, walnuts, cheese & olive oil - it was very light & delicious, again, because of the light olive oil.
Then, the pasta was started with flour, eggs, a little water & salt. The dough was kneaded and put through the pasta contraption many times and then cut to make the tagliatelle (north of Italy) or fettuccine (south). The pasta is then boiled but less than 5 minutes and presto!
Once it is served... cheese & a bit more of olive oil is added. It honestly was the best pasta I've had. =)

ReplyDeleteIs there a way, they can take you back to the pizza place and see if the can show you how to make them from scratch?
ReplyDeletewow! amazing! =)
ReplyDeleteI'll see babe... =) Hi Louie girl!
ReplyDeleteYum! Are you going to bring back a pasta machine? And the olive oil?
ReplyDeleteHey... i won't bring back a pasta machine because it is a bit heavy and the extra fee they charge if you go over the designated weight is crazy. But Claudia said i could order it on-line. Olive oil... yes, for sure, but also limited. =/ I think we'll be purchasing a couple of things on-line. I also think that some of these quality items may be available in bigger cities... we should go hunt for them. ;)
ReplyDeleteHey D! The pasta recipe looks DEVINE. Your pics look great, too! Monica =)
