Pasta Frenzy!

I had a blast the other night. I decided to finally break out the pasta maker that my parents gave us for Christmas! Ya, it took a long time for me to build up the courage, but I had some alone time (rare) and decided to try it all by myself!! What great fun! First I had some difficulties figuring out a proper recipe - it kept coming out too dry and crumbly. But after some trial and error, I felt like I was in the heart of Italy cranking out my spaghetti. It's amazing how simple it really is (when you have a KitchenAid).

4 cups flour
4 eggs
1 tbsp water.

How easy is that??? The fun part was cranking it through the machine. When you fold it and put it through the rollers, sometimes it snaps - remember doing that with Silly Putty??? In the end, we had reams of fresh pasta. And seriously - it takes 1000 times better than store-bought.
