Pasta Making

Well, a few nights ago I experimented by making pasta from scratch from all local ingredients. It's a trial run to see how this whole going local thing will work into our lives for the next year. The eggs were from a farm in Granite Falls, all pastel colors and different sizes. They worked beautifully into the fresh flour from Nash's Organic Produce, and all in all created a pasta that was tender and delicious. Here is the process...

Knead for a lonnnnng time...

Flatten...



Flatten Again...

  1. Wow, looks amazing. I love home made pasta. It is perfect with just a bit of butter - doesn't need anything else to make it special. Hard to beat chicken and home made noodles though.
