a True Italian.

Okay- maybe I'm not even a little bit Italian, like at all. BUT- I did finally successfully make homemade pasta tonight! I'm so proud of myself! I've attempted twice before and ended up with a pile of crumbles. But today- no- NOT TODAY! Today I was a super italian. Thanks to this youtube video- my fine skillz were finally put to work.

I made Whole-Wheat pasta and used my handy dandy pasta machine that has been sitting in my pantry for about 5 years. We made some delicious spaghetti and linguine. Tonight we had the spaghetti. Pasta is one of my "what can I make that will be cheap and easy" meals. Throw in some great veggies (I'm a broccoli nut), make some homemade sauce or buy some good stuff- i like whole foods 3 cheese pasta sauce, and top it off with some shredded cheese- and you got dinner in a bowl. I used what veggies we had- portabellos and zucchini- mmmm.
Pasta is a great vegetarian go-to meal- and homemade pasta is just divine.

Making my well- apparently if you break the well- you will never marry- so be careful, unless you're already married- then just go for it. 

It's totally reminds me of a playdough machine and is just as satisfying- in fact better because it doesn't taste like salty grossness. Yes- i have eaten playdough- and don't even act like you haven't.
