So if you have been reading my blog, you know that I took a pasta making class. FUN! I totally recommend it. However I decided to make some at home without a machine, never mind you that I am a horrible homemaker who does not have a rolling pin in the house (hysterically freaking scream here). I decided to use a wine bottle :). The dough worked out quite well. I made my little volcano cater of flour added my egg, salt and olive oil, beat it with a fork just like Chef Rochelle and it came together nicely, I did not this time, however add too much flour. Yay me. so I start rolling it out over and over and over and over again. Have I mentioned this is by hand with a wine bottle. I eventually just got tired of rolling it out and decided that I could see my hand through it if I held it up to the light it should be fine or not ha ha. While my ravioli were good the pasta was definitely too thick I will have to roll a little thinner next time. I am not discouraged though, I will make it again perhaps even this afternoon :) I must perfect my pasta making skills as I am obsessed with becoming a better homemaker :). Until next time
Update! I did own a rolling pin I over looked it like 5 times Sigh!

I would love to make my own pasta someday! It's on my bucket list..lol.
ReplyDeletei remember when my youngest made black pasta at the youth club that she went to, and despite the colour of it , it was passable as pasta . One day i will attempt it as well, but perhaps not a black colour.
