After doing some cooking for our party last week, I realized that I missed the kitchen. I tend to not cook as much in the summer, partly because of the warmer weather and more interesting things to do. So this weekend I decided to make some homemade pasta again using that spiffy KitchenAid that Jeff got me for Christmas. Man, I love that gadget! I made some lemon pepper spaghetti and some light wheat fettuccini.

Growing up we always made homemade ravioli, but never any of the ribbon pastas so I've had a bit of a learning curve. The spaghetti cutter doesn't make as clean of a cut as the fettuccini cutter and I don't have a proper pasta drying rack. I'm not giving up though! I want to make the lemon pepper dough again and make it into fettuccini noodles next time. I also want to make ravioli, but knowing that Jeff isn't a huge fan of those, I'll make some potato filling for him and voila - perogies!
