What to do on a snowy day? At the Pandora household we’re making pasta – and, um, drinking mimosas. Now, I’ve made pasta in the past, but today we’re using our new Imperia pasta machine. This is an old fashioned, hand cranked, clamp to the counter machine – that weighs a ton and provides directions in nine different languages. I’m already a little daunted.
Making pasta dough is simple. It’s either flour and eggs, or semolina flour, regular flour and water (with a dash of salt and olive oil). The hard part is always getting the pasta thin enough – hence the new gadget.
So… if all goes well we will be creating a ricotta, asiago, and parmesano reggiano with fresh basil and oregano ravioli along with a classic thin spaghetti served with sausage and artichokes. (I have posted this recipe in a past foodie post).
I’ll keep you posted on our efforts. Meanwhile, use this thread to post “must try” adventurous recipes. I’m feeling adventurous today.
