Seven Yolk Pasta

I decided it was time to make pasta again. This time I tried a new recipe which worked out a lot better than the last one. I added a little bit of whole wheat flour in so I felt like it was a little bit healthier.

This was the first time I have ever beaten eggs but hand. You're supposed to whip the eggs with your fingers in a circular motion while slowly incorporating flour through the sides of the well.

The picture above was taken after I kneaded the dough for fifteen minutes. FIFTEEN MINUTES!

Homemade Pesto

This is perhaps one of my greatest accomplishments in the culinary world. Yes, I used a food processor to make my pesto. Yes, I know it supposedly tastes better when you chop everything by hand. I'd rather make pesto in five minutes than thirty. I'm sure most people would agree with me.
