From Scratch

Yesterday afternoon was chilly and grey, basically the perfect afternoon to break out the pasta making equipment and try our hand at making our own pasta again. We had tried once before and failed miserably. This time, however, we had a much better recipe. Our dough came together perfectly and rolled out beautifully. Our Italian ancestors were most definitely smiling down on us as we rolled and cut and hung the pasta to dry. The three main components to our meal last night were all made by our hands (our pasta sauce- made last summer, and the meatballs and pasta- made yesterday). It was easily one of the most delicious and satisfying meals we have shared together, and I think that was due in large part to how much love and hard work the four of us poured into this meal to make it a reality. Well done, team! xo

  1. Wow! Homemade pasta is the best. Congrats on making a batch that turned out. We make pasta occasionally and I must admit there are some batches that just fail miserably. The batches that turn out make the work worth it though!
