When the boy said this to me yesterday, I rummaged through the cabinets for a box of spaghetti. It wasn’t until he asked me how many eggs we should use that I fully understood what he was suggesting…
We (I should really say he) loosely followed Alice Waters’ pasta recipe in The Art of Simple Food. I brought my parents’ pasta maker home with me several months ago with the intent to do this sooner. I wish I had! When it was time to run the pasta through the machine the last time to cut it into noodles, I realized that the accompanying pasta rack was way in the back of the cupboards, behind all of my loose containers and lids. No problem. I think the boy said something like, “If only you had some, oh, I don’t know, yarn in the house…”
Tada! Dishcloth cotton to the rescue. Let me back up to show you the rest of this scene:
Somebody is hoping to get lucky by hanging out underneath the noodles.
While we (and by we, I mostly mean he) prepped noodles, a fresh sauce was simmering away on the stove. These noodles were incredible, and this recipe is definitely going into the regular rotation around here.
More knitting/spinning content soon!
those shots of the boy with the HUGE pasta ribbon and the one with the hanging pasta and Boh are great!
Looks like it was fun.
That is so extremely cool. Pasta-making looks fun! And very delicious.
holly noddle stalactites! looks tasty.
Epic win!
Oooh, that looks delicious! I love the photo of the dog waiting underneath the hanging pasta.
1) yum!
2) that could be the best dog picture EVER!!
