Pasta - Update!

Well, it went well. I used a simple pasta recipe of 8oz of 00 flour, 2 eggs , 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil.

The filling ended up being prawn, crayfish ('cos I had some in the fridge already!) and ricotta with a bisque sauce made from the prawn shells.

The pasta was good but not great, so I may now try moving to more egg yolks to make it a bit richer and less bland in colour  so more experimenting yet.

The pasta machine was very easy and worked a treat.  As for the bisque sauce, I thought it was too strong and I mixed the remainder with more cream and that helped a lot.  Will keep you posted
