Since Lydia has been showing an interest in cooking, for part of her birthday gift, we took a cooking class together! The menu we created was homemade pasta noodles with fresh tomato basil sauce, caesar salad & warm ciabatta bread.
cracking eggs right onto the table
Ready, set, mix & knead for 15 minutes!
Punching and kneading... learning the effort involved in getting food on the table!
Then the fun part of using an old pasta machine! We got a demonstration and then quickly got the hang of working together... one person feeds and cranks, other catches... teamwork!
Our beautiful pasta nests...
ta-da!
On to caesar salad and working on knife skills with anchovie. (The homemade croutons were divine!)
It was a special time making super yummy pasta the old fashioned way! We won't soon forget the teamwork on the pasta maker and Lydia definitely gained an appreciation for getting dinner on the table.
