Dean, the king of yard sale finds, brought home a pasta maker. With the family together we decided to give it a try. The following is a pictorial story of a delightful, fun, delicious family time.
Coming up with ideas: that went on a lot as the evening progressed.
Choosing basil ~ no ordinary pasta for us.
Onions for the sauce.
My job was the tomato/avocado salad with basil bleu cheese vinaigrette.
Everybody gets into the act and enjoyment of making pasta.
Making sure the instructions were understood.
Marc not only took pictures, he also gave really good advice about
the whole process.
Choosing basil for the vinaigrette.
The mixing begins: ~ the pasta,
the vinaigrette,
more ingredients into the pasta,
and the sauce (white wine sauce with onions and tomatoes).
Watching the pasta extrude. The shape chosen was "small cookie".
Dean, meanwhile, is on the deck overseeing the grilling
of snapper and ahi.
Marc shows off the pasta while the process starts over with plain pasta.
The picture that we didn't take was of us sitting on the deck eating this
amazing meal and thoroughly enjoying our endeavors. We are all ready to
give it another try! In the words of another chef: Bon Appetite!
