I really appreciated the methods that our instructor showed us, because even when the recipe called for a food processor (which I don't have) he showed us we could make the dough by hand. We learned the very basics, and in the end, that pasta was INSANE. So good, tender, and fresh. How can I ever eat boxed pasta again?
We made spinach & ricotta ravioli, fettucine pasta, alfredo sauce, pomodoro sauce, and meatballs. Yum! The simmering pomodoro sauce with meatballs smelled so good. And aside from the pasta maker, I had every single tool necessary to make everything in the class.
So now I just need to figure out if I should pony up some money to invest in a hand cranked pasta machine, or the $190 for the Kitchenaid attachment... which I really want! I try not to eat pasta very often anymore, but when I do, why not make it fresh?
Need. Okay, want. |
