How to Make Homemade Pasta
I think this really is a good life skill to know. I was pretty impressed with myself at the end, when I realized that I had made a tasty dish using just flour, eggs, cream, and garlic salt (garlic buttered noodles . . . yum. See
Life Skills - Day 7 for how I made the butter). Overall, this was a pretty easy task, and the results were good too :) Here is my pasta journey (I followed these instructions:
Homemade Pasta, with 2 eggs and 1 cup of flour):
 |
| 1 C. flour mixed with 2 eggs. I would have had an earlier picture, but I was too busy making a serious mess of my counter . . . it was kind of fun :) |
 |
| Lovely dough after kneading for 10 minutes |
 |
| After resting (in a plastic bag) for a few hours since I had church tonight, I rolled it all out and sliced it into noodles with a pizza cutter |
 |
| Noodles! |
 |
| Boiled in salt water for 3 minutes |
 |
| Look, I made noodles . . . wow :) They are chewier than dried noodles, but are very hearty and tasty. They would be so good in chicken noodle soup. Hmm, now there's an idea ;) |
