Why every woman should make fresh pasta
Of course, there is only one person to whom I owe my cooking skills. Mom. But not only did I learn from her how to make the perfect brioche bread or how to whip up a good Bearnaise sauce. I mainly learned to have patience. That delicious fragrant dish of lasagna that was on the table in the evening was so flavorful mainly because the pasta was kneaded together a few hours earlier by mom's strong hands. I continue this tradition; I still prefer to make my pasta myself. It just takes time and patience, a lot of patience. Luckily, my friends at Philips have come up with a supersonic pasta maker. Are you, like me, a huge fan of a real spaghetti vongole or a plate of penne arrabiata? Then these are the reasons why you want to get started with the Philips pasta maker from now on.
1. It's cheap
A portion of pasta contains only flour, an egg, water, and a pinch of salt. Perfect if you need to watch your budget.
2. It's much tastier
Fresh pasta is so delicious that it actually needs nothing. A pan and a fork are already enough.
3. Little sauce
Homemade pasta needs little sauce. With fresh tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and a piece of parmesan, you're already done.
4. Quick to prepare
Eggs, flour, water in the machine, one press of a button, and within fifteen minutes you have fresh pasta ready in front of you.
5. Healthy
You make fresh pasta with water and eggs, I mean: how is that unhealthy?
6. Versatile
Making your own pasta is just a lot of fun because you can vary greatly. The basic ingredients are flour, water, eggs, and a pinch of salt. But you can also color your twisted pasta with natural ingredients, such as tomato puree for a pink color, spinach juice for a green tint, or squid ink for black pasta. Additionally, you can also make your pasta gluten-free by using buckwheat flour.
7. Variety
Not in the mood for spaghetti this time? Then just put on the special attachment for penne? Craving fettuccine? No problem! A different special attachment for every pasta.
