Pasta with shrimp, baby arugula and parm
See, that’s not so hard is it? A pasta sheeter helps get the dough to the perfect thinness, but you could just as easily use a rolling pin. I used a rolling pin because I haven’t shelled out the dough to buy the attachment for my mixer. I also cut the pasta with a knife since I also don’t have enough dinero to get a pasta cutter. Can’t you call things rustic when they’re not perfect? The bf and I enjoyed each other’s company while eating these lovely plates of pasta. Happy early Valentine’s Day, love.
Be well & happy eating!
