Looks like you made some pasta earrings too, very cool! 😂

I love that you came back from Italy with such a passion for 'cibo italiano' ❤

Put it through the thickest setting. Fold the sheet in half. Put it through the pasta machine again. Repeat a few times. Then start reducing the thickness. It's like a final knead. That will improve texture and help against the sticking when you pass through the cutting roller. Also dust the sheet with flour before cutting it.

This wknd I am resting(long Covid again), done a large Lidl shop n made a Texan chilli yesterday, today may pop over to Primark for some cushion covers lol. Wow love the pasta machine, you have inspired me to start cooking fresh again.

Morning Rechenda (and the beautiful assistant Jack ) that was a lovely vlog your Library looks lovely I haven't been in one for years your pasta looked good I think if you had sifted a bit of flour over the pasta strands it would have separated I think your seated area looked so stylish happy Sunday to you and Jack have a great day .xx

I use a pasta maker , bought one for 50p in a charity shop 20 years ago … it’s always so good.. hang the pasta up to dry ..also when it comes out of the machine guide it out with your spare hand so it keeps seperated

Took me back to my blue peter days eat ur heart out ....a blue peter badge definately well deserved. Very impressive masterchef here u come px

Ahhh lovely Jack. He's such a handsome boy 🥰 You look fine first thing without make-up Rechenda 😊

I also am also a cat owner and local pet sitter in Herts. I don’t have a garden but I’d love one. I’ve got one of those machines it’s second hand though never used it :) maybe I will one day soon. Love your videos very helpful re: budgeting, shopping and cooking:)

I used a pasta maker at home before. You need to dust both the dough and the machine with flour before passing it through. Once it’s cut, drench it in flour to separate it even more. Don’t shy away from using a lot of flour, you can shake it off before boiling it and the rest will come off while boiling. You can even use more flour and freeze your pasta, I’ve done it before. It has to be cooked from frozen though. I recommend watching Rosie Maio on KZfaq, a very nice Italian lady whose mum owns a restaurant in Italy. She doesn’t teach people recipes or anything but you can get a hint of good Italian techniques. Maybe check her out ❤❤

I am so happy you used existing furniture in the front garden rather than buy - it looked great! David seems fun and so lovely for him to agree to be in your video. Very impressed with your pasta making skills it looked delish!

I bought five shirts at a thrift shop that didn’t have a fitting room. I’ve got to return 4 of them, and it’s a 45 minute drive! So frustrating. Next time I’m wearing an undershirt and just trying them on in the middle of the store if I must. I really need to get a pasta machine, we’ve been on quite a kick of foods that a pasta machine would be an absolute blessing with making them.

Have you got a link to the pasta machine you got? Would love to have a go at making my own pasta.

Where did u get your pink dungarees I need them in my life ?? Class very you px
