15 years for Homemade Pasta


This was one of my favorite things we did on Mother's Day. Homemade pasta! Forget the spa...I had more fun doing this with the kids. I bought this pasta machine FIFTEEN years ago at Ikea in Germany.  I finally opened the box yesterday. 


I loved seeing all the strips of fettucini drying over the backs of my kitchen chairs. 


It was the best pasta we've ever had...I can't believe I waited 15 years to try it.

  2. Looks delish! Also looks like more time in the kitchen than I prefer. :) I wish I had your love of cooking. Your family is very lucky.

  8. Well, it was about time to pull it out! My Italian step mother made home made pasta all of the time and she would let it dry from wire hangers. I would walk in the kitchen and see hangers placed everywhere and get excited! Shamefully, I have never tried it myself....
