Pasta!

Have not made pasta in a long time. Took some penne pasta and made my own quickie red sauce. The homemade chicken lard really made it good.

Sauce:
Can crushed tomatoes. (fresh is better).
Mushrooms.
Homemade chicken lard.
Garlic salt.
Oregano.
Basil.
Salt.
Pepper.

Using homemade fettucine.

Pasta machine with fettucine attachment or good knife skills.


Noodles:  (mix well into a dough ball)

1 - large egg
1 - cup flour plus some for dusting.
1 - teaspoon salt
1 - tablespoon salad or olive oil

2 - or so tablespoons water only if needed to make sure the dough goes together.

Waste not want not.

Decided to make a pizza rather than order one in. You can get yeast that does not need any rising time.

But the I realized I was out of sauce so we made the red sauce.

But then I remembered  there was no cheese either. milk to the rescue.

Everything you needed for pizza. But what to do with the milk whey left over from the cheese making. no problem we just made polenta. We made of pot of it for what the stores sell a small tube.

If course we used the extra red sauce and cheese for the topping on the polenta. We also added green peas for color. Hmmm good.
