Good dinner to keep your stomach warm. Fresh pasta is a gift. Dried pasta is cheap and easy. But, so was that ‘friend’ you dated sophomore year. The mix: five eggs and four cups of flour. Painfully easy, and so is the flavoring: artichokes and leeks. Simmer them, lightly, with Panko bread crumbs in butter. Once the mix has cooked down and firmed up, dump in the pasta (and a little pasta water if you need to thin it out).
Please make pasta. I don’t ask much and I don’t ask often. Steal something valuable from someone you love, pawn it, and get a KitchenAid Mixer with a pasta attachment. Once they realize what you are doing, they will forgive you. If they don’t, steal something else of value and buy the sausage attachment. That should teach them.
My husband just bought me the sausage attachment that also makes pasta. I made lasagna noodles and I made some mistakes, so I will be trying it again.
It takes a few times to figure it out. Sausage is a little scarier. Congrats on the new toys!
I definitely need the pasta attachment. Do you know where to get the best deal on one?
Usually Amazon.com has competitive prices. This is the kit I have: http://tinyurl.com/y9wy8mt
