Last night, Rob and I had been invited over to a friend’s birthday dinner. It was a surprise and we heard there was going to be a cook there (at their house). It is a close friend so of course we made ourselves available and headed over for some birthday fun. Well, apparently, it was a woman who comes to your house and teaches you to make your own pasta from scratch! It was a lot of fun and I’m glad we could share a special birthday dinner with close friends! So let’s go through how to make it 🙂
Mix 2 cups of flour with 2 cups of semolina. Make a pile and make a hole in the center to add eggs. Add 5 eggs and and 2.5 T of olive oil. She also added about 1.5 teaspoons of salt.
When ready, use your nifty little pasta machine to roll and cut your dough (sorry, I don’t have any other help for you on this part if you don’t have a pasta machine either!)
so is making your own pasta healthier or about the same? It doesnt look too dificult….although I dont have a past machine haha
Fun! I'd made pasta – YEARS ago! Way before we had kids…might be a fun thing to do on a rainy day with the girls…would eliminate the "what's for supper!?!?" I have every night! I even have the ravioli attachment, so they could make their own!
What an awesome party idea! Fresh pasta is delish!
