One of my ambitions this year was to make homemade pasta ( I’d asked for a pasta making attachment for my kitchen-aid for Christmas). This sunday I finally got around to it !
I chose to make Jamie Oliver’s ( the Naked Chef’s) ‘Lemon and Mint Caramela’, as it looked fun to do. To make it I mixed egg with flour – and then cranked it through my pasta roller. Fun ! Here’s what it looked like. 
Next I combined Ricotta, Lemon, parmesan cheese and some fresh mint.
The caramela ( italian for sweet) was made by cutting little squares, putting the ricotta inside and twisting it like a sweet. 
It was really good… I might have made the ricotta a touch too lemony and I may have overcooked the pasta a little. But homemade pasta seems to have a lot of promise, very impressive and not too difficult. Worth a try !
