I spent the last 6 hours making a BUNCH of home made pasta. A co-worker has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Our department is having a fund raiser for him and his family on the 14th. I am making pasta....a LOT of it. I'm dividing into approximately 100gms per bag. Just about right for one person. It's about 80 gms/person for dried pasta...so this is just about right. Wish us luck at the fund raiser.
So far I have 4 different types
 |
| The spinach pasta - that's my awesome KitchenAid mixer in the back (it's red) |
#1 is my personal favorite: spinach, with a bit of basil.
#2 is also very very good. Sun dried tomato

#3 is basil and garlic- it's got some kick: (well - sideways)

| basil and garlic |
#4 is a new one...this is whole wheat, pepper and a blend of edible flowers. Smells wonderful! I'm making a bit for us for dinner tonight. The flowers: Lavender, calendula, nasturtium, rose and cornflower.

| Whole wheat and flowers+pepper. I call it "Flower power" |
Also, for tonight I'm using the tomato sauce from tomatoes from the garden and some sun-dried tomatoes from Andy. Along with some roasted vegetables.
