Pasta Time
Friday, January 16, 2009
My parents bought me this awesome pasta maker for my birthday, and I finally got around to using it today! I found some semolina flour at the grocery store and made a basic pasta with it. For my next batch I will probably try to mix half and half semolina and all-purpose flour, since I hear that many people like to do that. The pure semolina was fantastic, but its a little more expensive.
Here's the pasta maker after making all the pasta. I managed to make a big mess of the kitchen too.
Here is the pasta after I had flattened it all out and cut it with the pasta maker. The spaghetti on the bottom right didn't quite turn out because I didn't flour the dough and the machine well enough. The fettucini all came out really well though.
Here is the fettucini all cooked and ready to eat. I just tossed it with some butter, parmesan cheese and pepper so I could really taste and enjoy the noodles. It was REALLY good.
