Adrian really enjoys making pasta. I make the dough, he rolls it into pasta. He’s got the process down pat and turns out pasta for four hungry eaters in about 20 minutes. The pasta maker was a great buy.

We’ve been cutting our pasta dough into tagliatelle until now, but Adrian wanted fettuccine today. Cooking it was a surprise – it was done faster than I expected. The water had just come back to boil after I added the pasta and then cooked for maybe 2 minutes, and already the pasta was softer than I like it.
