A chef friend recently took a position at a pizza restaurant and took home some of their special ingredients to familiarize himself with them. One night, he invited me over to experiment on pasta-making with 00 (double zero) flour to see a) if it was possible and b) if it was good.
This was a new venture for many reasons. 1) I haven't cooked in so long, 2) I've never actually hand-made pasta and 3) I finally saw, for the first time ever, one of those home pasta makers actually being used. Fun, yes. Tasty, absolutely. Do it again, ummmmm...
