First pasta the post

We made pasta over the weekend. We cheated a little bit by using a breadmaker to make the dough, but I countered that by hand-rolling the noodles. It was a bit messy but, accompanied by a fine Pinot Noir, it was a fun way to spend some time in the kitchenThe end result was worth it (drying on a traditional italian pasta rack)
We had it with a chicken schnitzel, steamed broccoli and a cheese & mushroom sauce. It tasted great - a little noodly because we had no semolina flour, only plain, but that just adds to the 'fusion' flavours.

We also watched 'Julie & Julia' on Friday night so I feel a little bit cliched blogging about food!
