There’s nothing more satisfying than making pasta by hand. It has become my Sunday afternoon ritual, I make the dough while my family watches football (American). Sometimes I ask for help with the pasta machine, other times I do it myself or forgo the machine altogether and make a hand-shaped variety. Sometimes an egg pasta (with OO flour), other times a semolina pasta. All are delicious and nourishing, time well spent in the process and with the end result. Making pici takes patience, Lindsay! Be gentle with yourself 😊
My younger daughter, the one who is currently living in Australia, described a pasta-making disaster in a recent phone call, so I forwarded this to her. Maybe this will re-inspire. It certainly has done so for me! There must be a secret to learning to handle the dough without letting it intimidate. I wonder: Is it a bit like biscuits, in that one shouldn't work with it too long, lest it grow tough?
I don't think I ever told you how much we enjoyed the pizzas made with the dough recipe you shared. Just wonderful! If I make the pasta, I'll report back on that as well. 😊
One of my favourite movies. It's so languid and photogenic and sends one to bed in such a good frame of mind.
I'm not necessarily a pasta fan but my husband is and so we're having fettucine tomorrow night. As I'm a big fan of walnuts, I think I'll try the walnut sauce recipe. Thanks so much Lindsay and glad to read your words again.

Loved this one. I’m currently sitting in a camp ground trying to imagine how i could make this sauce solely by hand it sounds that good!
Movie memories 🌅..,I’ve only made pasta using my pasta cutter..I will try this, and the delicious walnut sauce ❤️
