The last time I made pasta was in about 1973. It took me all afternoon but I did it. Last night I watched Mark make pasta with a pasta machine and it was much easier.
The inspiration for the exercise was this -
 |
| On special at my favourite Deli |
I don't have to be able to read Italian to know what this is for.
Mark was happy to go along with the exercise. So with the fire going and a gin and tonic for me he started the dough.
 |
| 1 egg to each 100gr of flour |
 |
| Slowly working it in |
 |
| Run it through 3 times |
Each time making it thinner.
 |
| Looking better |
 |
| Just right |
 |
| Fettuccine |
 |
| Great result |
I forgot to photograph the slow roasted duck
 |
| Gremolata for duck and pasta |
 |
| Fennel and orange salad |
 |
| Dinner |
 |
| With a fire |
I am definitely going to do this myself and then tackle making potato gnocchi.
