Homemade Pasta

Matt and I have been enjoying the pasta maker he got from my parents for Christmas. These are pictures of his first attempt. Through repeated practice we have learned we like the super thin setting for fettuccine, that flouring before the last pass allows you to easily separate individual noodles, and that canned, diced tomatoes, instead of tomatoe sauce, are FABULOUS on top!!

And my, oh my, does it make some yummy ravioli! Michael liked the "sauce" so much that when I was making spaghetti on Thursday he asked me to call Matt and ask him for his recipe. Well, it was the middle of the day. I didn't know how to get a hold of Matt. Ha! We ate stuff out of a jar. I don't think Michael was too thrilled. :-)

David would be jealous. He's been wanting to make homemade pasta for awhile now.

I guess we will just have to move that way, won't we?
