First post and pasta

Sly and I recently bought a pasta maker for our KitchenAid. And we LOVE it. We’ve eaten pasta steadily for the past few weeks. Sly made her first ever batch of lasagna yesterday completely from scratch and it was delectable…seriously.

We differ in our techniques and tastes especially for Italian food. I prefer basil with a touch of oregano and hint of thyme. About a 4/2/1 ratio. Sly on the other hand is all oregano: bold nothing to hide. It works out well. We both love garlic

I made some crab ravioli the other day. I decided to differ from my 4/2/1 method of Italian seasoning and used tarragon. Bad choice. The tarragon really made the sweetness of the crab “pop” and it kind of ruined the rest of the dish.

Sly has also begun making grissini, those thin, crisp breadsticks. They're very good and additions of cheeses and spices lends towards an infinite variety.
