Homemade Pasta

We bought a pasta maker a while back and decided that now was the time to try it out. We chose to buy a hand-cranking pasta roller and cutter as it is about a quarter of the price of one that you can connect to your stand mixer. It also comes with a pasta cutter that we used to cut up the scraps of dough to make fetticini and spagetti. We then bought a ravioli cutter to help for easier forming of the ravioli.

Using three different dough recipes we made 70 raviolis and a huge lasagna. Asparagus ravioli, mushroom ravioli, and spinach & cheese ravioli were the kinds that we made and froze. Of course, we did test a few. The lasagna noodles were made today for homemade lasagna for our New Year's dinner. The recipe we used for these noodles turned out the best, or at least that's what we thought. This recipe is from Food Network and they even have a video of making the pasta. http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/homemade-pasta/63844.html

Definetly worth trying out!
