Italian Food project
As part of his Cricket in Times Square topic at the moment M did a bit of a project on Italian food, finishing off by making his own Italian food last Friday.
He decided to make pasta for a main course and weighed and mixed it all himself.
When it had stood for a while I helped him get it started with in the pasta maker, and then together we rolled it thinner and thinner. A came in from work just in time to do the strip cutting right before we cooked it for tea. I made some meatballs to go with tomato and chilli sauce and we had that with the pasta - yum!
For dessert M chose to make ice cream. We found a recipe for vanilla ice cream and set to with separating the eggs. I wanted M to manage it all himself but every egg he cracked he split the yolk. We had a fridge full of broken yolk eggs very quickly! He must have done about half a dozen that way so eventually I took over the cracking part and then M separated them LOL. The rest of the ice cream making was much simpler. I was surprised how well it worked just putting the mixture in the freezer and stirring it every hour. M added some choc chips just before it froze completely.
It was ice cream to die for. So much more delicious than bought ice cream. We will be making it again
