Yesterday I tried to make home made pasta for the first time
I even did the mixing the traditional way
I didn’t like it. So next time I’ll use a bowl lol
I didn’t realise just how much this made.
The pasta was a tad thick and very rustic looking
If I thought about it I would of halved the dough and kept rolling it out
I’ll know for next time
But it did taste really nice.
Hubby has decided that I need a pasta machine. So we will get one as soon as lockdown is over
But I will try again
I’ll only make half the recipe
I use Jamie Oliver’s recipe
I enjoyed making the pasta.
If I’m going to eat carbs. I really should at least have a work out making it
What new recipe or crafting are you learning in this strange and abnormal year?
Stay safe and well
See ya xxx
I thought I'd take up a new skill but nope, not happening for me. I work at the hospital though so we carried on working through our lockdown.
ReplyDeleteYour pasta looks great. Hope your lockdown passes quickly.

I have yet to try out making pasta {I have a pasta machine, still new in box}, but it is coming soon.
ReplyDeleteYour pasta looks yum! A good skill to learn.
I have been mending holey jeans to make way for making more masks for us and other family members. I think we might be needing them very soon...
I have a new recipe I am trying out for sourdough tonight. Tomorrow I get to bake and taste it.
Soap making is on my list to try. I have all the ingredients so will get to that shortly too.
Enjoy your weekend, even though you are in lock-down. Hope the numbers start improving from here on so your life can return to some sort of normality.

Does yoga count as a skill or craft? There are a few printmaking crafts I'd like to try but a class in them would be the most desirable way to get started and .... well you know how it goes. Maybe 2021.
ReplyDeleteWe have a pasta machine but mine nearly always comes out too thick. Needs a lot of practice I think. But oh so delicious. The aged aunts make makaroonas by hand and theirs are always light and so thin. Takes about 80 years I reckon till you can get to their standard.
ReplyDeleteKeep rolling.
