Who doesn't like Italian food? Really.
Anyway, we jumped ahead to Italy because I wanted to try out my pasta maker attachment for the Kitchen Aid. What I failed to realize, (until the dough had already been made, rolled, and prepped) was that I do not own the pasta cutter attachment. This meant that I had long paper-thin sheets of dough that were cut by hand. Oh well. It was fun and more importantly, it was absolutely delicious.
I used a simple recipe for the pasta dough. 2 cups of flour, 3 eggs, dash of salt. Make a well in the mound of flour and mix with your hands. Kneed until your wrists hurt. Set aside for a half an hour then process through pasta roller attachment. Cook. Eat. Done.
It was slightly more complicated than that, but not by much. You can find the recipe I used here.
I also made some turkey meatballs (not Italian) and everything was phenomenal. Even the uncooked pasta was fabulous. Trust me I know. M (our resident toddler) kept sneaking up to the counter and taking away bits and pieces of the scrap pasta laying on the cutting board. When the thievery was discovered, she was sitting quietly on the floor doing a puzzle and covered from head to torso in white flour.
