Homemade Pasta
Again ….. I know we’ve already had a post about homemade pasta. I just wanted to add a couple of more points and some pictures. I agree with everything my food blog contemporary has said about making pasta. Its easy, enjoyable and the stuff you buy at the store is crap. Don’t get me wrong, …
