So this weekend, I finally dove head first into making pasta. This is something I have wanted to do for some time now, and thank to the generous gifts from my dad, one of my brothers and my wife, I decided to try it out. I just started with some basic pasta, nothing to difficult. First, I tried my hand at making some basic noodles. I decided the next time I try that, will be with a pasta machine, cutting all those tiny noodles by hand took almost an hour, and they were gone in the span of about 10 minutes!
I then tried making a small amount of Farfelle (bow tie pasta), letting it dry overnight, and that worked really well. Today, I tried my hand at Pumpkin Ravioli. It was delicious! It took less time, and My wonderful wife discovered how to make it taste even better, by sauteing it in a garlic butter sauce and sprinkling fresh parmesan cheese over it. I then ended tonight's pasta making experiment by making a LOT of Farfelle. They take all night to dry out, so you can cook them, If they aren't dry before cooking, they just turn into little squares.

Until next time friends!

seriously... I'm so jealous. I cook as well and pasta is one thing i want to try that i haven't.
Good to see a new post after a three months hiatus. Based on my review of the pictures and reading about your pasta making effort,I offer a bit of advice -- don't quit your day job just yet. Did you really cut each of those noodles one at a time? What patience!
It seems different countries, different cultures, we really can decide things in the same understanding of the difference!
