My first time making proper, egg-based fresh pasta. We don't have any kind of machine, so I rolled it out + cut it out by hand. It was about as chewy as regular store-bought pasta, and I'm unsure if that was a good thing, but the whole family enjoyed it thankfully.
I used Marcella Hazan's recipe (only with yellow pepper instead of celery and sherry + apple cider vinegar instead of the white wine, because it was what we had). With some stewing beef given to us by some friends who raise their own grass-fed cows, it was gorgeous. I could have eaten it with a spoon.
At any rate, I am now officially hooked on pasta. I found an Imperia on eBay for £15.79 and it arrives on Monday.

You shouldn’t call it ugly, it’s beautiful because it’s authentic and homemade! I would love to come home to a plate like that=) looks delicious. You should be proud! I struggle to make pasta but I’m learning.
It looks amazing and beautiful. You should be very proud of yourself!!!
Mamma mia che spettacolo! Good job! I would eat that so fast.
Looks good, great job! Prepare yourself for an interesting adventure with pasta 🙂
I’m sorry but I just have to ask this… Is that a clothes rack you’re drying the pasta? Like there’s nothing wrong with that, I’ve done some weird pasta-drying stuff for sure, but are those undies in the upper corner of the photo? 😀
Bravo 👏🏻
Looks excellent!
Looks beautiful and u deserve to be proud!
Hey man, I developed a love for cooking at your age but never made anything that looked this good. Keep at it!
I’d eat that.
New pasta dryer unlocked 🙂.
I always use wardrobe hanger, time to boost my pasta drying skill.
Man, you have lots of great ideas, apple vinegar sounds like a nice touch. Keep on experimenting, I’m looking forward to your future posts.
The more rustic bigger pieces of vegetables have their own advantages
Really good first attempt.
Next time your pasta will be more uniform if you really kneed it and rest it well, then laminate it.
That will be easier once your Imperial arrives.
Good luck. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
I can’t imagine that anything cooked by a woman with such everyday intelligence – as her pasta dryer proves – doesn’t taste delicious.😎
That looks spectacular! Homemade is superior to all others. Look at the effort and skill in that pasta! 🥳👏💯
Looks great.
Will you be seeing the new documentary about Marcella Hazan next month? https://youtube.com/watch?v=xS-Jg3sEFvA&pp=ygUUbWFyY2VsbGEgZG9jdW1lbnRhcnk%3D
