This Valentines Day we treated ourselves to a dinner of fresh homemade pasta. Joined by daughter Amy and young William, we set out on our first endeavor to make our own pasta.
Earlier I prepared the gravy (sauce) made with San Marzano tomatoes and sausage.
Using a basic recipe of unbleached flour and eggs and the results of extensive research in 2 cookbooks, we began the epic task. These pics will tell the rest of the story.

Disaster strikes, and the eggs escape from their nest.
Amy and William recover!
Affection prevails.

Patience (photographer in chief) to the rescue.

If I tried to make pasta, it would probably taste a little like a cross between stringy rubber bands and a dead Pillsbury dough boy. I definitely wouldn't be smiling at the end of the process, nor would anyone around me. Best to leave it to the pros and stick to my trusty packages. Although, you do make it look like fun and I KNOW it's delish!
Oh that looks like fun!

Looks like a lotta fun. I love that the dogs tried to get into the act!
