And, while Kevin (I think that is his name) at Terra Cotta Pasta does a good job, it will NOT hold a candle to your own homemade pasta! I think I need to talk to Santa and make sure he gets you a pasta machine for Christmas... Or your birthday!Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-75432223062746773202012-09-30T22:45:08.455-04:002012-09-30T22:45:08.455-04:00Hi David,

(I know you know what I mean!) Anyway, I am just getting back now to say that I think you should be selling pasta makers to go with this recipe--it looks so easy and, of course, delicious! I can't wait to have my own so I can create such wonderful meals myself. In the mean time, there is always Kittery's Pasta Man...oh goodness, I can't think of the real name of that really good pasta store!

Sadly I cannot remember the provenance of this recipe to give the creator credit, but s/he (if they ever read this) might consider a step-by-step series, too!

I never knew that about hazelnuts - good information when toasting them! One of my favorite little cicchetti (Italian tapas) are two sage leaves with a thin layer of anchovy past in the middle, battered and deep fried. Nothing like them. What kind of sage do you grow?Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-48901310339656107792012-09-22T11:00:34.615-04:002012-09-22T11:00:34.615-04:00I have to undust (is that a word used in english?)...I have to undust (is that a word used in english?) my pasta machine, it´s been years since I used it. I find sage is a hard to use herb, but it goes extremely well with tomato sauce. My sage leaves tend to become bitter when I fry them, maybe I´m frying them too much...? Funny how so many ingredients turn bitter when exposed to too much heat (paprika, herbs, hazelnuts). Your pics are wonderful and simple pasta is always my first choice!
