Just the word evokes comfort. It's quintessentially Italian. "Pasta" translates literally as "paste"- named for the starting composition in the making process. Easy, healthy, and economical also come to mind. How could you NOT love the stuff?
My pasta-making project led me to do some research on this food art and I've decided to share the fun and quirky sites I found. I enjoyed making it by hand, but will also enjoy trying out a pasta attachment for a certain Artisan stand mixer waiting for me back home. :)

And now, just to illustrate how crazy I am for the stuff, I leave you with an inventory of my pantry...seven different types...
- Cellentani (hollow spirals with ridges)
- Farfalle (bow tie)
- Lasagna
- Mini Pipe Rigate (mini elbows with ridges)
- Pennette Rigate (small penne with ridges)
- Spaghetti
- Tempestine (small round balls, similar to couscous)
