As you probably have realized, I haven't been cooking for a while. Well that all changed when a couple of days ago, I went to a birthday party at the School of Culinary Arts here in Vancouver. There we made one of the best pastas I have ever had.
Today, I decided to make it. Using their recipe, I have so far made the dough. When I get back from the movie I am going to see today, I will put the pasta through the machine and prepare the sauce. Today's sauce will be the same as the fennel sauce I used in Day 4 as that was such a big hit.
Problems with making the pasta dough (I always end up having problems): This time the first batch of pasta dough was great. It turned out exactly the way I wanted it to. Unfortunately, just as the first batch was finishing, what I thought was a food processor started smoking. I decided to set it aside and use my hands to mix the dough for the second batch. But, as I should have known, that didn't work. I don't really know what I did to my pasta, but we will have to wait and see.
Actually after my failed second batch, my mom came down and told me that the thing that was smoking wasn't actually a food processor. No wonder it started to smoke!
I'll post my, hopefully great, results tonight or tomorrow. Check the "My Easy Recipes" Page for the recipe on Pasta Dough.
Noodles! (haha get it? Toodles, Noodles?!?!?)
