here’s to a gourmand new year: homemade fettucine al pomodoro

Because it’s no news that spending quality time with our loved ones is the best we could ever wish for. Add a bit of travel and a table covered with good food and you’ll have at least two happy faces looking at you (Thomas and Maja, in case you’re wondering what I’m taking about). Here’s to a slow and gourmand, happy new year filled with love and appreciation. 

Having said all the above, let’s agree - homemade pasta is a bit of a fuss but nobody can tell me it’s not worth it. And that it’s not the best thing in the world. The recipe in itself is as easy as it gets (100g flour + 1 egg = serving for 1 person) but a proper pasta machine would be rather handy (otherwise, good luck for rolling the dough and cutting extra thin stripes by yourself!).

Serve with whatever you like: simple aglio e olio, cacio e pepe or, as we did, homemade tomato coulis and Sicilian parmeggiano. Buon appetito!

In the meantime, somebody is always napping...
