Hi darlings!
As you may already know
I'm a huge sucker - pardon my language, but it's true - for Italian food! As it happens, so is my man... So from time to time we dare to experiment with some Italian
cooking! Last weekend we made fresh pasta, coloured with
spinach with a sauce of tomato and peppers. Ah, my mouth waters again while I reminisce, so let me be generous and share the recipe with you!
For two persons:
You take 100grams of flour, one egg and about a
handful of cooked,squeezed out and chopped
spinach and knead them together to an elastic dough,
which you roll into a ball. You fold the ball in a
tea towel and let it rest for half an hour.
Meanwhile, you put a lump of butter in pan, and glaze an onion and some garlic. In another pan you bake some shreds of bacon. Add a large red pepper to the onion and half a glass of water. When the peppers are almost done, you pour in a can of peeled and chopped tomatoes. Spice things up with salt, pepper, basil and a teaspoon of honey and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
Now you start boiling water for you pasta. Take up your ball, roll it out and let it run trough your
pasta machine, making it it thick or as thin as you like it best yourself! Put the pasta in the boiling water for just a few minutes...and done!
All that is left for you to do is pour out a nice glass of red wine, stack your plate full with pasta, sauce and, not be forgotten, grated cheese and simply indulge ;)
Bon appétit!
