Pasta Italiano, si per favore!

Italian pasta, yes please! My brother in law organized this awesome night at Lexington Pasta Company where we learned how to make fresh homemade pasta. The company was started by these two guys here...

Now they sell pasta to many local stores and restaurants and are working on selling to Kroger. They have a really incredible story, so check it out on their website when you get a chance. Www.lexingtonpastacompany.com You may see their pasta at a store near you. We were lucky enough to learn from the best.

We mixed four ingredients together (water, oil, eggs and semolina - a type of flour). Then put the mix into a machine that rolled the dough to look like this....

 

Then it was put into another machine that cut the pasta and made it into spaghetti....

 

Afterwards we ate this delicious masterpiece which is so good it only needed a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese....

We were there to celebrate my sister Kristin's birthday. Happy birthday sister! I love you so much and am blessed to have you in my life!

These two enjoyed themselves, maybe a little too much....
