RE: Pasta making (served with Duck and corn) - (Ulog #16)
I LOVE making home made pasta. I make mine in the Ninja blender. I don't have a pasta roller thing, so I just use a rolling pin and a pizza wheel to cut mine. It means it's not as even/precise, but it works! That whole meal looks DIVINE!
What is a Ninja blender? Is it a food processor or some sort?
I think your method is probably the real old fashioned traditional method! After all it is pretty much the same thing! I also hear that wood has a better effect on the dough than metal?
It's a food processor/blender basically. I just can't knead/mix pasta dough by hand anymore because my hands fall asleep thanks to carpal tunnel.
I'm not sure about the wood/metal. I have been making pasta since I did it with my grandma and my mom as a kid. I actually don't even eat pasta much at ALL unless it's homemade (and that's rare, because it takes more work than I usually want to put into it). But my family considers it a HUGE treat!
