Pasta.

First, let me say, I do not own a pasta machine. And second, I have never made homemade noodles before. 

To me the whole process of making one's own pasta has seemed, even when talking about regular full-gluten pasta, a strange dichotomy. On the one hand it appears daunting and complicated. And yet, on the other, Italian housewives have been doing it for hundreds of years. By hand.

And so, since Wednesday was the first, real, honest-to-goodness fall weather day we've had so far; chilly, damp, raining on and off, and there was nothing else I needed to do I decided to go for it. And either be brave. Or foolish. Depending on the outcome.

(As a side note, I always forget that, when the days grow shorter and the yard work wraps up for the year, there's suddenly a whole lot of evening free-time to fill.)

I settled on a grain free paleo recipe. Linked for you below.

And couldn't believe my eyes when the dough turned out. And rolled out. And cooked, in under a minute, into rustic, al dente,  lovely little ribbons of pasta.

It never ceases to amaze me what a few simple ingredients are capable of.

Enjoy.
