The way Nonna did it.

Homemade pasta! I don't have a Nonna though, so my dad just asked the Nonna at the Italian grocery store how to make it. I don't have the recipe but I will show you what I do know.
What I do know is that pasta is my favourite food. I don't love all pasta equally. Spaghetti and meat sauce is a terrible combination and always will be.
We made stuffed pasta and a meat sauce pasta.

Weapons of Choice

The stuffed pasta was a challenge, so I'm glad we tackled that one first. We added spinach to the dough and stuffed them with a cheese mixture. To roll out the dough we used an attachment for the KitchenAide mixer.

This was the fun part. Adding the filling by hand was less fun.

Processing, Processing, Processing

The second pasta we made was a plain noodle served with a tasty meat sauce. It contained ground beef and spicy Italian sausage. Actually I just made that up. I'm a blogger which means I have a certain amount of Creative License. This was over a month ago. I have little memory of what was in this. I know it has sausage but beyond that is a mystery.

Homemade pasta is a fantastic treat. If I had the gadgets I would definitely do it again. Pasta making does take some time, which is why the grand finale photo is a dim low-light photo.
