Homemade pasta…

It isn’t very often I buy new…but every once in a while I do. I love making pasta from scratch. For the past 10+ years I have been making fettuccine and spaghetti, and have wanted to get additional attachments for my pasta maker…however they are usually more than what I want to spend. Today one of the local kitchen stores was having a massive sale as there was a big art fair going on in the neighborhood…so I bought the lasagna (and linguine) attachment in the picture above. I was fine paying $12 for it.

They also had my favorite magnetic measuring spoons (that I blogged about back in January) on sale…so I bought four sets. I will keep two sets and give away the other two sets…when people see mine they always want a set…so it is nice to have some on hand to give away. I like having four sets ‘attached’ to the stove…that way I don’t have to did in a drawer for them, and they are handy, and once I start cooking or baking I usually end up making several dishes at one time…so it nice to have multiple sets.
