it would seem that Spaghetti Carbonara would be the obvious choice for this challenge, but I have made that several times before, so it was really out of the running. Kyla will make it later this week however as she has never made it before.
I chose to make fresh pasta. Technically I have made it once before, and all by hand which left my RSI prone arm very sore for a couple of days afterwards. This time I used the Kitchen Aid (it has to earn it's keep) and Jill's pasta machine, which to my knowledge has been used only once before.
The difference in the ease of making is just phenomenal when you use a couple of machines to do all the work! The resulting fettuccine was great. In fact, Daryl assumed it was bought fresh pasta until he spotted the pasta machine on the bench, and was genuinely surprised that I had made it!
We had the fettuccine with a pork, paprika and sour cream sauce. Very tasty and a little bit different. I have made the sauce before, although in a slightly different way, so that was not a new recipe, but still very tasty.The pasta gets a 5/5 and I will be regularly making fresh pasta from now on. I plan to try making lasagne sheets to make a spinach and ricotta cannelloni next.
