Yesterday, Cobalt and I went over to our friend L’s house to hang out with L and our friends T and C for a day of adventure. We made homemade pasta. L charged us with two tasks: making mushroom ravioli and spaghetti carbonara. So we divided into two teams – Cobalt and T on the spaghetti and C and me on the ravioli while L started on the ravioli filling. That picture up there is my sad looking mummy ravioli. He surprisingly didn’t explode when we cooked him so I guess I patched him up pretty well! C said he was delicious… :)
Anyway, it was really fun/tasty! Here are some more pictures:
First we have C mixing the ravioli dough:
Next we have Cobalt and T working on making the spaghetti… The pasta machines were of course the best part…
Once the spaghetti was ready to be cooked, everyone switched over to team ravioli and we had quite the assembly line going on (someone painting the dough, someone filling the dough, someone making the little raviolis, etc). Look at C’s cutting skill!
And two hours later, we have the final dishes:
Spaghetti Carbonara
Mushroom Ravioli
Oh man… it was so delicious… Have you ever made your own pasta? What is your favorite kind of pasta to make/eat? Did you do anything amazing this weekend?

In college my roommate learned how to make pasta in one of her classes and was so excited about it I came home to an apartment COVERED in drying pasta strands. She made a chocolate one that we topped with marshmallows and raspberries that was kind of fabulous.
My amazing weekend consisted of packing up the car and driving back to Chicago. Boo. But I only have a few more weeks before I get to move to MI for good!
I want to try chocolate pasta! And YAY for moving to MI so soon! :):):)
Ask Cobalt about the time the youth group made lasagna for a pastor appreciation dinner…specifically what happened to the noodles.
He just told me…. Haha… I love that it was a pastor appreciation dinner too. That just makes it even better…
I think of that every time I make lasagna. Hopefully, now you will, too. ;)
