This past weekend has been fun with J and all of his cooking. I am lucky he grew up with a mom who made such delicious home cooked meals and I am thankful J loved to watch. Cooking together is one of our favorite activities and truly brings us so much joy. There is nothing like making something new, completely from scratch and then eating it! Last night, J made homemade pasta from scratch. It was so much fun, so easy (maybe not easy but simple) and it was sooooooooooooo goooooood! We didn't roll the pasta thin enough but that was OK because it was the yummiest kind of chewy pasta. We made a butter cheese sauce and had some fresh oregano from our garden. Oh my goodness we will never buy pasta from the store again! The Italians would be proud! (or think we are foolish for it not being second nature...)
ok, we're doing it this week
ReplyDeleteWe followed Jamie Oliver's recipe but Because we cut it down and messed up the proportions it can out hard at first so we just added some oil and then some milk to make it smooth and soft. It seems pretty forgiving like bread :)
DeleteJ had left overs with just butter and parm and oh goodness so so good!
