Last night made some fettuccine with langostinos in a scampi cream sauce. She was very nice. The fettuccine was one of “fresh” pastas in the store.
Pasta Anyone?

You're killing me man..
Seriously though, nice work!
Man, I love pasta. Nothing like a big plate of pasta with a lot cheese, pepper and beer.

I have reduced the amount of carbohydrates for now, trying to get rid of the bulging belly. But sometimes I can’t restrain myself and I eat our national dish, which is made from dough. Here's what it looks like.
I wanted to really learn each step of the pasta cooking process correctly and traditionally. Pasta words of wisdom to read. Also, a very nice oil and garlic recipe. I’m currently having a custom made pasta board made from a place out in Ohio so my brood can start making it fresh.
note: in Italy where gas is fucking expensive as all hell, only small amounts are boiled at a time because it’s a waste of gas to heat up a large pot.

Gosh, I love pasta but prefer mine with a meat sauce on it.
That's my #2 death row meal, the first being Linguini with fresh clams in a white sauce.
Love it, but only the organic variety (can't do the whole glyphosate thing). Lately, my favorite routine is to chop up some green bell pepper, chicken sausage, shallots, and 4-5 cloves of garlic, and let that saute in olive oil for several minutes. I then add some basil, oregano, and a touch of red chili pepper flake (I can hear Poppy from Seinfeld saying "not-a too much!"), before adding a tomato base to the whole thing. A dash of balsamic vinegar into that mix, and good to go. I also do an alfredo sauce variety, but this one gets fresh basil, which I've taken to growing from scratch.
@countmc you're lucky you have national dishes that are so flavorful, or at least appear that way in pictures. Eastern European Ashkenazi Jewish food is notoriously bland. My mother-in-law gave my wife lifelong traumas regarding sweet cabbage. ?

I make mine pretty spot on to yours, but instead of the balsamic vinegar I use a few splashes of dry red wine........... It seems to give the dish a "richness" for lack of a better word..........
Anyone here make fresh pasta? Perhaps all the above and I just missed it!

Well, I think it tastes just as good as it looks in the picture. ? I once read the article that the Germans and Israelis showed interest in dishes from Central Asia and even managed to patent something, I think it was "koumiss" (mare's milk) and "kurt" (fermented milk product).
