While it may not look like much to you, it is a big step for me....just spaghetti, right? I have been making my own sauces for a long time and playing with the software to come up with different textures and flavors. This sauce is a spicy sauce which I am pleased with....but the real pleasure is underneath. It's just pasta, right?
I made it.
My very first batch ever.
Hand kneaded and rolled with a real live Italian pasta rolling machine.
I am actually pretty happy with it. I know that it wasn't the best ever, but it really did the trick. Held onto the sauce and everything pasta is supposed to do. It won't win prizes, but for a first effort, all in all good.
Things I will note:
Mixing it: The dough really needed to be more elastic. I am not sure if it wasn't so due to lack of proper moisture or due to not kneading it enough.
Rolling it: Once it gets down to a 5, it gets long. I'll make the knobs a little smaller next time. That way when they elongate with the rolling, it won't be hard to manage.
Cool thing though...and easier to make than I thought. That's all for now. More to come later. Maybe.
