pasta maker experimenting

|
Spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen trying out our new toy!
We each did our own types of dough....here's
tony's...
*3/4 cup all purpose unbleached white flour
*1/4 cup whole wheat flour
*1 egg
*3-4 TBS milk



mix all ingredients into a ball and take 1/2 of ball and roll out into a sheet to feed into pasta maker....

















our first set of noodles were a bit thicker than we would have liked so we did a thinner set later....


we also experimented running a few already cut noodles back through the dough thinner at the lowest setting and ended up with our "paper thin-pepper-parmesan-pasta" which was so good it almost didn't get a picture of it....

i used to only eat pasta w/ butter and
parmesan, spaghetti sauce came much later in life...there is something so satisfying about good noodles w/ butter and parmesan, and the flavor of fresh cooked homemade noodles like this was simply amazing...





i decided to try out some buckwheat pasta...
as tony pretty much mastered the basic one...
i have no idea what i would do to even improve upon it...















buckwheat pasta...
*3/4 cup buckwheat flour
*1/4 cup whole wheat flour
*3/4 cup water(add more as needed)
*2 TBS flax seeds
*1 tbs lemon juice

same process as above to make noodles, i did mine on the spaghetti setting....
and made a stir fried style pasta with...
* 1 cup
edamame (cooked in microwave first for about 3 min)
* 5 cloves garlic, minced
*1/2 cup dill
*1/2 lemon's juice
*1 tbs sesame seed oil
(I really love this stuff by the way)
* s&p to taste
