Leigh Yardley's Homemade Pasta

In these trying, frustrating economic and political times. I think we should all gather more for dinner parties.
If you know me...I'm Pamme, Pamme the party planner! I love them!
I've switched over from white flour pasta to the healthy whole wheat pasta with ease and can't even tell the difference.
But I gotta tell you that Leigh's homemade pasta that we rolled out the other night was light and so delicious! And fun to make!
All she does is take 2 cups of flour. She used white flour but I expect you could use any flour you want, four eggs and a wee amount of water and mixed it up enough to form a ball. This amount of flour and eggs makes about a pound of dough.
She then cut it up in to smaller sections then sent it through her Atlas pasta maker each time setting the caliber lower to flatten the pasta. We all decided on Linguine and sent the flatten dough for the last time through the Linguine stage of cutting.
This pasta cooked up in no time in a pot of boiling, salted, olive oiled water and was sooo good with a home made cream sauce of sauteed garlic, sliced onion and orange pepper (about two cups). She then threw in about a cup of white wine to deglaze followed by a bowl of baby scallops,shrimp and orange roughy and a pint of heavy cream.
I also added some steamed broccoli for more veg and color.
It was really good.
We followed our meal with discussion over this upcoming election and parfait cups of sherbert, The grand finale of the night was rousting out this dude with a head lamp and a gun jacking fox out of the field above my house!
Yep, never a dull moment out here in sunny south Hamilton!
