One of my favorite things about this summer - freshly made spaghetti. Everything on the plate is homemade from scratch. :0)
It's long been a desire of mine to try making spaghetti noodles, however, I was afraid to. Well, I found an inexpensive pasta roller so thought it would be a great time to try it, figuring if I liked the taste I would invest in the pasta parts for my Kitchen Aid mixer.
Well the noodles are great! Easy to make, quick to cook and taste just as good after being frozen which means I can make up huge batches and only make the kitchen a mess every now and then. :0) I don't even think I need the parts for my mixer now, this little hand one is working fine.
All of my wonderful tomato plants are keeping us in such a steady supply of tomatoes that we can also make our own sauce, with fresh herbs too.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
Oh that looks tasty. When do we eat?
ReplyDeleteI love making hommade noodles, but I have never tried making spaghetti. It looks so yummy! Our tomatoes are just starting to ripen. Can't wiat to take that first juicy bite. Thanks for hosting.

ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry! :)
ReplyDeleteI think spaghetti is my all time favorite food. I have a pasta maker, and you can actually make the noodles, and cook them just as fast as cooking the dried ones.
ReplyDeletethat sure looks yummy, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteYou are cooking my favorite! Thanks for being a gracious hostess!
ReplyDeleteYour Macro Monday is much more yummy looking than my Macro Monday. bwahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteYumm!! That looks so good!
ReplyDeleteFresh pasta is absolutely the best. Yum! :)
ReplyDeleteDifferent and great macro!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed! Homemade spaghetti is way beyond my cooking skills. I could dive into that plate of yours.
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteHomemade spaghetti and sauce - sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow, homemade pasta. We did that at home, when I was a child. But today, there is no time for those things. But I care for my balcony-tomatos. :)
ReplyDeleteyou just made my mouth water...it looks so delish!
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti is actually comfort food for me. When I was a kid, my mother would have spaghetti with garlic bread every Monday night. It was one of the few things I could count on (routine) and I really looked forward to dinner every Monday. I plan to have Spaghetti at least once a month at our new place. Thanks for bringing up the fond memories. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell now you've just got me so hungry. Making everything from scratch is a job but it's so much better. Love the shots.
ReplyDeleteI just ate breakfast and now I am hungry again. Your pictures are too good ... They inpire my appetite :)

That looks so delicious. I got a pasta maker, but I just can't seem to find the time to try it. You might have just inspired me to dig it out and try it.
