Friday Night in Winslow: Friday, January 10th, 2014

Another Friday Night in Slowtown and what do we find ourselves doing for our entertainment???

Well, first we had to watch this because it is absolutely hilarious!!!

Okay, if you are not cracking the f up right now, there's something wrong with you!!!

So, back to work!!

We are attempting to make our own pasta tonight!! My lovely family got me a pasta roller for Christmas and this is our first time trying it out. Here are the first few stages, 2 cups of all purpose flour, and three large eggs is suppose to make us about a pound of pasta. We're trying a food processor way of kneading the ingredients together, then just a few minutes of kneading by hand on the counter.

Next, cover the pasta dough and let rest for about 15 minutes, covered in plastic wrap...............

Then you cut the dough into about six sections and work them one at a time. You roll them through the roller and then through the cutter (using the appropriate attachment for whichever type of pasta you're shooting for).

Then voila....... You have fettuccine ..(we chose the fettuccine cutting blades this go around)!

Cook your pasta in some boiling salt water and in a skillet, saute some green bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeno. Add some garlic and fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste, then add some olive oil and you have a super healthy sauce for your fettuccine!
