Tonight, even though we had A LOT of homework, we wanted to try to make pasta from scratch. It was so fun. And although it took some time, it was really easy. The ingredients are simple: eggs, flour, salt, water. Then you mix together, knead, let rest for 20 minutes, and then put through a pasta machine and STRETCH it. (Mom got a pasta attachment for our mixer for Christmas and this was the first time any of us, including Mom, tried making pasta from scratch).
