Pasta, Pasta, Pasta!

Finally I’ve got a pasta machine! Yeah!! The good news is that it’s not the basic machine but it also has an electronic motor attached — which means you just need to press a button so that it rolls the pasta — AND it includes the attachment to do long pasta shapes such as tagliatelle, spaghetti, fettucine etc. I was over the moon this morning when my aunt brought it over after arriving from Italy! As soon as I saw it I could not resist for long so I rolled up my sleeves and tried it out! So here they are my home made fettucine! :) We served them with some basil pesto, green beans and potato — a typical recipe from Genova. Rest assured that you will be seeing many more home made pasta recipes… there’s nothing like fresh home made egg pasta!

Just in case you want to try the pasta dough — for 1 kg pasta I used 600gr flour and 6 eggs.
