Let’s Make Fresh Pasta!
After an evening and a day class with Ogunquit-Wells Adult Education, 10 of us made fresh pasta! I enjoyed meeting everyone, especially the birthday girl who celebrated her special day with us. We started with flour, salt, eggs and then added oil and water. Most of the work was done using our hands. We mixed the dough until it became a round ball! After a dough rest and time to share, we rolled and rolled and rolled the dough. There was beautiful work cutting the pasta into strands of deliciousness. We closed with a demonstration using a mixer pasta tool. I think most thought the electric version might be something to considered. The holidays are right around the corner to hint for pasta making tools! The classes were lots of fun and we learned something too! Mangia!
