The Hot Pepper

Enjoy!!! It's a lot of fun!! No Pics, Didn't Happen!!

homemade pasta, that is the way to go. the process store stuff just is a fat producer!

I'm thinking homemade would make a great chicken soup...

Ravioli is really fun to do! you can stuff anything in it!

We've done fried crab rangoon too, it's awesome!

Chorizo ravioli!!!

Durum semolina for the win! Kneading it a few times on the high setting changed my pasta making game for the better

High setting? The one I got is a hand crank... how would that translate? I'm going to have to find some semolina flour

I've got the same. I run it through on the thickest setting, fold and run it again. I usually do this three to four times. Semolina is awesome, and gives really good bite. White flour is easy to start with, ie. mixing, but produces a gummier product.

Lasanga is a breeeeeeze with fresh pasta. There are a lot of DIY methods for adding a little motor as well if that's your fancy. I used to have broom sticks all over the kitchen drying pasta XD

lol... well, luckily, I got a nifty little drying rack to go with it.
I was wondering... plain flour was sounding more like dumplings than noodles. I'll definitely pick up some semolina. How long should I let the dough sit before making the pasta? I think I'll give it a shot this evening after I get back from bringing my kids home.
