Pasta, Pasta, Pasta!
Posted By pamelamyers on December 9, 2017
This year we decided to keep things easy and make homemade pasta for Christmas dinner instead of raviolis. It’s a bit of a break from tradition, but…with time comes new things. We all want to hold on to traditions that we hold dear, but the idea is to make those traditions our own. Because it is so much work to make the ravioli, and the kids are always fussy about them anyway, coupled with the fact that everyone likes pasta, we thought that was the road to go down. To me, the important thing is that we all are having the Italian meal together, as a family. And we are. Krista offered to host dinner at her house, and also the pasta making. We weren’t sure how well it was going to work out, getting to Krista and Adam’s because of the snow, but we made it!
Sam couldn’t wait to help. She poured the egg and water mixture in the machine (and half of it spilled all over the place), so we had a rocky start, but eventually…
…it worked! Here come the rigatonis!
The whole process went really smoothly. The rigatoni came out looking great, there was little muss and fuss, and we are all pretty excited to be eating our own homemade pasta.
Mostly, we had Sam and Maddox lay the rigatoni out to dry, but there were so many, we all had to chip in a bit and help.
Ta da! Christmas dinner.
We finished up so quickly! We had lots of time to just hang out.
And also have Krista’s birthday cake! Sam actually tried a piece of the angel food cake but she said she didn’t like it. Crazy child! Happy Birthday, Aunt Krista!
