what's cooking? homemade pasta

A dear friend is leaving for Italy tomorrow which has caused me to become nostalgic about our trip three years ago. So, I pulled out the homemade pasta recipe from the cooking class we took on our farm stay and the kids and I made pasta tonight. It's super easy and fun to do. It also tastes amazing. The kids love eating something they have actually helped to make. Here are some photos:


2 1/2 cups flour + 4 eggs. The shells are optional.


Jonah's ball of dough. (Notice the suit jacket. They were playing dress up and Annie needed him to be in his "fanciest outfit" so he could be a proper king.)


After 10 minutes of kneading.


Rolled, cut and ready to be cooked.


Homemade meatballs and pasta.

Now if only I could figure out how to make gelato.

I'm impressed! I haven't tried anything that complicated since...wow, way before kids. I can make killer sorbet! Not sure about gelato.
