We're taking a lunch break, we've been working all morning! We've gone through 5 pounds of flour and we're on to our next batch.
We finished at 5:30, and my sister and I made 200 dozen ravioli! With the left over pasta dough we made fettucinni.
Thanks for letting me share this with you!

You ambitious people in the world make the rest of us look bad, you know! ;) I do love me some pasta!
YUM!! I love fresh pasta....well the one time I truly had fresh pasta I loved it. Thanks for the recipe. Maybe I'll give it a go sometime!
WOW...good for you!! This actually looks like fun ... I haven't made homemade pasta for a few years but I like your "lovely" drying rack ... I use one of those collapable clothes drying racks for mine but I'll keep your idea in mind if I need more hanging space next time!! TFS ... these are going to taste sooooooooo good!!
I love your drying rack, thanks for the instructions - wow, you were busy!
Looks like fun! I've never tried making pasta, so thanks for posting the recipe. Nicole (visiting from SCS)
Darlene, one year we tried drying the pasta on one of those clothes racks. We turned around for one minute and it was all gone. the dogs ate the pasta! so from then on we hang them high! lol
wow, looks yummy... why did you make soooooooooo much?
stephanie, we make soooo many because they are alot of work. WE freeze them. The Ravioli are small, not big like the ones you buy in the store. When I make them for dinner for my family I make 2 doz per person! LOL!
This looks soooo fun! I love cooking (:
This post caught my eye because it reminded me of a story my mother shared. Her mom made ravioli and used to make my mom count them. I asked why and she said - probably to keep her busy!
Oh my goodness, this brings back memories of my Mom's pasta making days! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the good eats.
YUMMY!! I absolutely LOVE Italian food. Do I ever wish I could be there and experience how it is REALLY made. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Will have to try it and see if it works for me.
TFS!
OH MY !
I'm hungry !
Just getting back online ! Our power went out on Sunday !!
It feels like it's been forever!
Thanks Hurricane Ike! (I'm really not complaining!...so many people so much worse off !) I'm not happy that we lost everything in our fridge and the big freezer! :(
Whew - all those pounds of meat & onions and SO MANY ravioli! Yum! Haven't really made too much homemade Italian in a long time (except my sauce). Maybe when my little guy starts preK . . .
Yummmmmm!!! :)
How fun!!! I have never made pasta -- maybe one day :)
