First job was to prepare all the
ingredients needed for the recipes -
we grated cheese, chopped up ham,
prepared basil etc..
|
Flour & eggs ready to make pasta |
Pesto ingredients ready to be blitzed! |
The pesto being made. |
Here we blitzed some ham to make a filling for the gnocchi! |
A little coffee break... |
with delicious home made biscuits. |
The gnocchi being shaped. |
The gnocchi being left to dry a little before cooking. |
I made spinach pasta |
We rolled it up ready to cut into tagliatelle |
The pasta strips are hung out to dry so
they do not stick when cooking.
|
Everything we made - the pasta and
gnocchi ready to cook and
the macaroni cheese.
The ice cream is churning in the
background with strawberries
ready to accompany it!
|
The ice cream churning and a nice prosecco aperitif while we wait:-) |
The prosecco & red wine for our meal. |
Lunch is served! |
My lunch - it was all delicious!
The pesto was mixed into the
tagliatelle, and we made a sauce
for the gnocchi, plus the macaroni
cheese.
|
And the fabulous home made
ice cream with strawberries
yummy - plus a shot of home made limoncello;-) |
