Making pasta & macaroni

forming pasta dough seems somewhat of a miracle to me… like digging up potatoes or sunchokes. I love when the fettucine noodles come charging out of the pasta maker and how beautiful the small mounds or pasta look on a floured cutting board.

We made a sauce with lightly caramelized pancetta, shallots, garlic, whole butter and a splash of the water we boiled the pasta in… and plenty of freshly grated cheese (I’ve been loving dried ricotta salata lately)
