Homemade pasta

Make pasta with 1 1/2 cups flour and 2 eggs. Roll to thickness 2 on pasta machine. Leave to dry for half an hour then cut roughly onto strips and cook in batches in rapidly boiling water for 5 mins.

Make sauce with butter, sage, boiled broccoli, ham. Serve with parmesan.

Result: 6 out of 5. Caitlin slurped it up. Restaurant quality, yum.
Preparation: sauce quick but pasta fiddly and messy - easier if pasta dough is not too sticky.

Rice patties

Includes zucchini.Would also be great with salmon.

Result: 5. Quite remarkable for a vege pattie.
Preparation: a bit time consuming and messy. Could do earlier in the day. Rice needs to cook first.
