I Heart DIY - Homemade Fresh Cuttlefish Ink Pasta

Since my last fresh pasta blog post, I break my old pasta maker which my dad got from supermarket. So I decide to get a better quality one because I’m so determined to make more fresh pasta at home. And luckily I found a good quality second hand pasta maker on eBay which is made in Italy and to be honest it make my life so much easier. Also the reason why I do a fresh pasta blog post again is that I finally find cuttlefish ink at Sydney Fish market which I’ve been looking for years. So I decide to make some black ink pasta with my new recipe and new pasta maker.

Fresh Homemade Pasta

 I had a pasta machine at home quite a while ago which my dad usually uses it to making dumpling pastry. This is probably the first time we use it for pasta purpose, as I never thought of making my own while it so cheap and easy to get from super market. But now I don’t think I would like the one from supermarket anymore, homemade fresh pasta taste a million time better than those from store. I’m not joking at all, the texture is more firm and tender texture and also more chewy as well. To be honest, it is the first time I ever made pasta from scratch, it might seem a bit too much work on it but it is totally worth it.

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter Holiday, well I spend most of my holiday staying home and study because I have 2 exam coming end of this month and not it time to procrastinate (I know it’s bad.). Although I cannot go out to enjoy this holiday but I’m very happy that I finally got my first stand mixer at home, even though I really have no time to make any use of it yet. Well if you ask what else have I done besides studying the whole time, it probably eating at home and enjoys some family bonding time.

I still remember the day I suddenly realize I actually have an oven at home and I can bake something. I chose to make cookie on my very first baking product, well I cannot say it turns out very good but it did make me want to try make more recipe. The fun part of making cookie is you can do whatever flavor and shapes as you like or add whatever nut or dried fruit you like.Like for last Christmas, I just made some snowman, Christmas tree and socks for my friends as a gift.
