Thoughts of a Middle Aged Man

We hosted a pasta making party over Memorial Day Weekend, and it turns out making pasta in a large group is a fun way to fill an afternoon. Five of us mixed the flour and eggs by hand, then the whole group help roll the pasta with the old hand crank pasta roller or with the pasta roller that attached to my Kitchen Aid mixer. After it got rolled out, we made fettuchini, pappardelle, and ravioli. With three sauces, alfredo, bolognese, and pesto, each of the participants got to try their home made versions with great homemade sauces. Add a little wine, some Wii action after dinner and a pleasant evening was had by all.
