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.

Patience (photographer in chief) to the rescue.
