    No cook here, but I did get my wife a 747 for her to use the next 3+ years.
    From what I can tell, you’ll claim it as a personal gift, and she’ll get to use it for far longer than that. 

    But, you’ll  likely flip it after 3+ years (sooner?).

    @caliking I mean, in a pinch, if you’re rushed, I guess maybe that will do.

    Wow, just Wow, @caliking. Way to do Mother's Day! Thank you to all that make a big deal for the Moms.
    Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

    While I might *just* be a pupper mum I’m a bit disappointed that I wasn’t gifted a 747 OR fresh pasta yesterday. Way to go spoiling the mom’s in your lives!

    Great looking chix, @ACN. Could you share the recipe? I made Peruvian chix before, but I'd like to try your marinated version.

    That's a fine looking plate @Canugghead ! Surf and turf :smile:

    For the pasta - @SciAggie taught me a simple recipe... Per person= Flour 85g + 1 large egg + pinch of salt. Tip 00 makes a silkier pasta, but APF works just fine. You can use 100g, but the dough needs to be worked more.

    Mix the flour, egg, salt. All of the flour won't be incorporated, at first. Rest for 30 mins, then knead the dough well. The flour should all be incorporated, after the flour has a chance to be hydrated.

    Divide the dough into however many servings you are making. Set the pasta roller to the widest setting, and run each portion of dough through it. Fold the thick, flat noodle in half, and run it through again. Repeat x3 (total). Flour the dough between each pass.

    Set the pasta roller down one setting (thinner), and roll the dough through again. Repeat x3. Set the pasta roller down another notch, and do the same again. Repeat until the long dough sheets are of the desired thickness. The sheets can now be cut into pasta, either by hand, or using the pasta cutting attachment on your pasta machine.

    For the KA rollers, set the KA to speed 4, and start with the roller set to 1. Work down to setting 4 or 5 on the roller, then switch to the pasta cutter. Run each sheet through the cutter. Flour each pile of noodles, and set on a tray.

    The noodles will boil in 2-3 mins, much quicker than dried pasta.

    It may sound like a bit to do, but it isn't that bad.  Enjoy!

    A total of 4 passes 1+3 or a total of 3 passes 1+ 2?

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    A total of 4 passes 1+3 or a total of 3 passes 1+ 2?
    Total 3 passes (1+2). I knew I would screw that up. You won't break anything by running it through one more time, though :smiley:

    Thanks @Acn . We are Wegman-less here, but my sister should be able to grab some for me to try.
