Last night Paul and I made homemade spaghetti! It was so much fun, and it was delicious! Paul's dad and step-mom were sweet and got us the pasta maker attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer when they stayed with us, and I was so excited to use it but also a little intimidated by it. I was worried that it wouldn't turn out and that it would be a huge mess and a two person job. However, on Friday night, Paul and I were both home, and had no desire to go out for the evening. I had recently looked at the pasta recipe booklet again to see what ingredients I would need to have on hand to make pasta, so I knew that I had them all. We were talking about what we should make for dinner, and I suggested giving homemade pasta a whirl. Paul was game, and so the process began! Our pasta making attachments were initiated into use, and now, I can't believe we have been missing out on homemade pasta this long! It was so good, and really easy to make.
We bought some giant meatballs from Marina market and a marinara sauce that was from Italy that was amazing. We opened one of our fancy bottles of wine that we're always saving for a special occasion and put on the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Vertigo". It was truly a perfect night!
P.S. Homemade pasta is very long.
P.P.S. Paul's fun in the kitchen!
Looks delish...and very authentic!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDid you like Vertigo? That movie scared me as a child and Michael made me watch it again when I was back in NYC. Your pasta looks DELICIOUS! As a child my mom would make home-made pasta at Christmas, but it was quite the undertaking! I am impressed :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Jenn, Vertigo was very strange. And the pasta was delicious! And not that difficult! I'm excited to try a different recipe for the next attempt. I forgot to mention in my post, we did not eat those whopping portions. I got a little carried away when I was dishing it out! There were large amounts of leftovers.
