pasta

lemme briefly deviate -- sort of -- to the subject of pasta. long-time readers know i ordered an attachment for my much-beloved kitchen aid stand mixer to roll out and cut pasta. and they might remember that there's a small problem with those metal flakes. . .

anyway, today i ordered from king arthur flour two interesting pasta item in my quest to finally banish those darn metal flakes and get going on the object of this quest, spinach cannelloni.

first, i decided to try their pasta blend flour instead of just using the durum flour or my italian 00 flour. and second -- although i may regret this -- on the advice of a person with much pasta experience, i also ordered their all-natural spinach essence. since as this expert said, "the spinach will drive you to suicide."

ok! that's a piece of advice i'll try to profit from. hopefully there'll be time next weekend to crank through the metal flakes and get this long-delayed pasta project re-started. i hope to attempt spinach cannelloni with a ricotta-swiss-chard filling flecked with prosciutto. . .
