Anyway!
This week I made fresh pasta. Did you know there is a difference between Pasta, and Noodles? I didn't! More Yolks in noodles I think. Anyway, I loved it, and can never go back to boxed pasta again! This week i made it, my dad was out of town so i decided to make a few batches, and also dry out a few batches. It was a ball both ways. The dried was in a container for a good week and a half before I cooked it, and it tasted just as delicious!
Homemade Pasta
2/1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried basil (I used sweet dried basil, and AMAZING i have to say)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 beaten eggs
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1. In a large bowl stir the flour, salt and basil. Make a volcano (like when you make old school biscuits!). In a medium bowl, combine eggs water and oil. Add to flour mixture. I recommend using your hands! It's just more fun that way ;)
2.sprinkle needing surface with flour and knead dough until smooth, about eight minutes. (I sat a timer in front of me, and Jammed out ). Cover in bowl for ten minutes. At that point I cleaned up my mess. I'm a major messy cooker.
3.Divide dough into four equal parts, roll each dough into squares, and let sit out uncovered for twenty minutes. After that you can use a press, but I just used a rolling pin and went at it. roll it out, cut, and let stand. You can let it sit out and dry! I just put it in a container...
since I didn't really do pictures along the way, I only did some to show dad who was out of town what I did in the kitchen when he was gone. ha. But next time I'll try for the step by step way, Kay? :]
How yummy does this look, huh? <3

plus, it was the best tasting pasta ever.
LOVED it, and you should all try it.
