Home-made Pasta with Roasted Rainbow Tomatoes

 Last Sunday I made fresh pasta (as you could have seen on Instagram). One of my favorite and oh, so easy recipes is this one; oven roasted tomatoes, eat them with fresh pasta or even on a toasted baguette, yum! It's all about the freshness of the pasta and the quality and taste of the different tomatoes (from the organic market).

 What you need;
- Different cherry tomatoes (look for them at your local farmers market)
- Fresh sage
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper

1. Cut (or keep them whole), Season and drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes
2. pop them in the oven on a high temrature (180*c/200*c) until the tomatoes are roasted
3. Serve them over your fresh (or store bought) pasta

Et Voila! Bon Appétit!

Fresh Pasta Cooking

Last weekend we went to a "fresh pasta" cooking class. We made the pasta from scratch, linguini, tortellini and ravioli. With a filling of spinach/ricotta and parmesan cheese. It took us all afternoon, you have to do a lot of kneading and carefully getting the dough as thin as possible. In the end it is so yummy and so worth it! I highly recommend to either take a pasta cooking class or to find a recipe online and just give it a go! 

 Oh and I got some cute ideas from this cooking place!

> Get (hermetic) jars to store cooking products in, simply paint a little swatch with chalk-board paint and label the product (image above)

> Plant herbs in medium rustic pots and let them grow into little herb bushes (first image)

2 easy sauce recipes;

1. Burro e salvia - Melt butter (enough for a sauce) in a little pan, add fresh sage, a little garlic is optional. Done!

2. Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino - chop garlic, a red peper (seeded) and parsley. heat olive oil in a pan, add all finely chopped ingredients and cook till almost a bit brown.

Et Voila! yummy sauces for your fresh pasta!
