Making Pasta

Don't cha just love it when you get to try something new for free?

Today I got to try making pasta for the first time, and I don't know why I've never tried it before!

The recipe we used was 200g 'OO' flour and 2 eggs, mixed together to a dough, then pressed over and over using a pasta machine: although having done this method, it's given me the confidence to try this at home with just my rolling pin.

We made lasagne sheets and I then cut mine into rectangles that I pinched into little bows.

This fresh pasta cooked in around seven minutes in boiling salted water with a splash of oil in it.

I ate mine with a tomato and garlic sauce. 

Have you ever made pasta?
