Friday Foodie - The Pasta Making Process

I've written a couple of times now about making homemade pasta with my Pasta Machine.  Here is the process in pictures...

Knead the dough for 10 minutes.


Allow it to rest for about 20 minutes.


Now the fun begins!  I cut the dough in about 6 pieces.  Then add one piece to the machine and start rolling.


Adjust the dial and continue rolling...


continue changing the dial and rolling...


Lay the piece to the side for now ~ this is a "5" thickness, which means I've rolled it five times, adjusting the dial each time.


And roll some more!


Les took this picture ~ my hand was really cranking!


Now it's time to make linguine.  Put one piece in the cutting attachment and allow your husband to do the  rolling...


All the pieces are cut...


Throw 'em in a pan of boiling water for about 3-4 minutes.


Tonight I added them to left over roast with gravy and made beef and noodles!


It's a favorite around here!
