Pasta

This past weekend, I decided to make dinner. A couple months ago, for my birthday, my grandma bought me a pasta maker like the ones we use in class. I've been wanting to try it out for a while, but never really got around to it. However, this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I made the dough from a recipe I found and began rolling it out. It wasn't turning out as well as in class, but I'm not sure if it was just because the machine is new. The strips eventually worked out and I used the fettucini cut. When I put them through, for some reason they would get stuck coming out and bunch up. I could pulled them apart a little, but they did not look that appealing. It all tasted so good, but I'm not sure why it didn't come out smoothly. On the other hand, the chicken parmesan I also made turned out delicious and the fresh pasta added a nice taste. I'll be sure to try making it again and see if the second run through goes a little more smoothly. On a side note, I was given a recipe for the best teriyaki chicken wings I've ever tasted, so I'll have to try to make them soon as well. Hopefully they will turn out a little better than my pasta.
