Part of Andrew's birthday gift included a pasta maker and a drying rack. We've never had homemade pasta before but I've heard it's wonderful. I wasn't sure if gluten free pasta could be made at home but it seemed possible since it's availabe in the store. Andrew is usually up for new adventures and he took this on as well.
The first time Andrew made noodles with the kids. I missed out on the photo opportunity but the spaghetti was amazing. We aren't in a hurry to buy the packaged variety after tasting homemade noodles. They really are *that* good!
Andrew decided to make homemade lasagna noodles this past Sunday. We haven't had lasagna in a long time since we want to cut out as much dairy as possible. However, with record low temperatures, lasagna sounded like an incredible treat.
The boys weren't interested in helping roll the dough this time but Lane was more than happy to jump into the fun. Andrew, Lane, and I made lasagna noodles and then extra spaghetti noodles to freeze with the left over dough.
Lane enjoyed rolling the dough and hanging it on the rack. She told us that the drying rack was like a Christmas tree and that the noodles were like hanging ornaments on a tree. It was a messy process and Lane had a lot of fun helping.
The lasgna? EXCELLENT!
