pasta!

I'm a dry pasta kind of girl and I rarely use fresh. I was using whole wheat pasta and missing delicious white pasta. Then I went gluten free and I'm not loving rice pasta it is sticky and they clump together. I've grown up loving pasta, longing for pasta when faced with rice every night. My mom felt that I should have been born Italian.

Everything was super easy and it was moving along well until it's time for me to roll out the dough. I try to avoid recipes that involved rolling, I'm a lazy roller. I busted out the beautiful dusty marble roller my mom bought me. After 10 minutes of rolling and groaning about rolling until I thought it was thin enough. I do not have a pasta machine so busted out my pizza cutter and rolled out fettuccine-like pasta. It was still quite thick...boo! So I continued to cut and then roll out the noodles again making them a little thinner. Ah, the lazy woman's pasta.

GFG warns that GF pasta needs to be watched. It's good one minute and then it's mush the next so I watched it like a hawk. FYI water does not boil when you are watching. The pasta came out yummy and just firm enough. I tossed it into pesto. Simple, delicious and gluten free. I'm converted to fresh and am now on a hunt for a pasta machine. A+
