Pasta making with the family. A long process and despite the jamming of the pasta making machine and some rolling required - we had a fabulous fettucine cabonara!
Our family loves watching MasterChef and learning about all the fabulous things that are cooked. Time after time the celebrity chefs go on about the secret to being a good chef is to use the freshest ingredients possible!! Now I wonder how the contestants would have gone with my "mystery box" challenge the other night - could they have created a family meal from the ingredients in the fridge that needed to be either cooked or binned!!! Can these whiz bang chefs cook without the freshest ingredients like many a family do?

That sounds like how we cook often. making your own pasta looks like a lot of family fun.
sounds exactly like our house too by the end of the week!! sometimes, but only in depserate circumstances it gets to the stage of: cut/scrape off the slightly dodgy looking bits
