Join The Foodie Club! Our challenge? Homemade pasta!

My pasta machine has arrived! Thanks to your votes, I am going to be making homemade pasta in my kitchen. I must admit that due to some technicalities, I ended up getting a different pasta machine than I had originally intended: Fox Run Craftsmen Steel Pasta Machine at CSN Stores. Wow, is it ever heavy-duty!

Now I know there must be other people out there with a pasta machine gathering dust so if you would like to join me in making homemade pasta, please do! A Facebook friend suggested Ricardo’s recipe for fresh homemade pasta so that is what I will be making. She said it was fool-proof and turned making pasta from being a frustrating experience to a delicious one.

I am going to try and get around to making and testing out this pasta machine in the next week or so. I hope you join me! I would love it if you took photos as you make it or of the final dish. Just email them to me at sueridler (@) gmail dot com.  My friends Fran and Nolwenn are going to be joining me, I hope you will too!

Deadline? Oh I hate them but I know others like and need them so let’s say by April 1st. 

No pasta machine but want to participate? Feel free to buy some fresh pasta like Olivieri and make your own sauce for it. Just play with pasta and email me the photo!

    We love making fresh pasta! A couple hints that might help – letting the dough rest a bit longer (say, 30 minutes instead of 15) helps with cutting and make sure to flour both sides of the dough when rolling and cutting especially if it’s at all sticky. I dust mine lightly every time regardless so it doesn’t bind up in the roller/cutter.
    Good luck!

    I’ve always wondered if making fresh pasta was really worth all the work, am anxious to see what you think, Suzie!

    Fatastic advice, thank you The Sweet One! I will definitely do that. Tournesol, I will let you know. If you want to participate without a pasta machine, you could go buy some fresh pasta by Olivier or some company like that too! The more the merrier.

    I might try Thursday as well. I’ve got a long week of work following that so it’s either Thursday or not until the following Tuesday. My mind is now wondering to all the yummy things I can put on the pasta! Pesto… bacon carbonara… olive oil and parm… Can’t wait!

    Sounds like something I just may tackle along with y’all. No promises, but I did get a “not so heavy duty” pasta maker about a year ago and have yet to try it out. (I know, my Italian ancestors are cringing right now lol). But my kids have been asking often when we’ll be making homemade pasta, and I think the time may have come. I’m sure the extra hands will come in handy. I’ll definitely email the results.

    No worries either way Fran! I’ll be with you in spirit whenever you do it. Oh I know, so many possibilities! A person on Twitter suggested we make lasagna. Yum!

    Ava, that would be amazing if you could participate, I think your ancestors would be proud. No pressure, it’s just supposed to be fun. I’m sure my pasta will end up being “very interesting,” LOL. Last time I made it I had a teacher with me and I still screwed stuff up.
