06/07/10 - Cooking Success!
Me holding my freshly made pasta
As I have a huge love for cooking, I thought it would be lovely to try something new. I had never made my own pasta until today. A month or so ago I bought myself a pasta making book and with the excuse of my sister Zoe's degree results (1st honours!) I decided I would test my culinary abilities. I made the pasta from scratch using flour, eggs and a little olive oil. I kneaded the dough by hand and rolled out the dough using a rolling pin (as I do not own a pasta maker which rolls it out for you). I made an Italian sauce using tomatoes, herbs, olives and vegetables to go with it and my family loved it! It was an experience and I will be definitely be making it again...next step making my own bread!
