Home hand-made pasta ...

 Finally ... got to make own pasta with raw ingredients ...

 Easier than bread as it does not need to rise ...

 Still a hassle to knead the dough for 5-10 mins by hand ...

 The rolling was not easy too ...

 Because fresh pasta tends to stick to the roller ...

 Too much flour will become doughy ...

 Too little will be too wet ...

 And the machine is hard to operate unless Mom has 3 hands!

 Between, feeding, pressing, rolling,

 Flipping, turning, churning ...

 The whole process of drying, dusting, rolling thinner and thinner,

 Finally cutting and shaping ...

 2 hours!

 And pasta is only perfect with home-made Bolognese sauce ...

from scratch of diced carrot, diced onions, diced tomato, diced beef, diced pork, red wine, bouquet garni, stock, tomato puree, tomato paste, milk ... and stewed for 4 hours at very low heat ...
