Pasta Mia

I have always wanted to make my own pasta. Do not ask me why, I do not know. It just happened to be one of those nerdy foodie things that I always wanted to check off my list. Tonight, was my night. My birthday was last Friday (I'm getting old), and my brother was kind enough to buy the pasta maker attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer. The egg noodle recipe in the back of the instruction book was incredibly easy, and it came together beautifully. We had a few touch-and-go moments early on, but eventually I got the hang of it. I subbed 3/4c all purpose flour for whole wheat amaranth flour with great results. There is a very good chance that pasta making will become a weekly occurrence in my household.
