Cooking Together

  Our landlord wanted to have some of his old tenants over for dinner, so we made a plan to cook together and even make homemade pasta. It was a really fun day in both our kitchens!

  I decided to make two veggie side dishes to go with our tagliatelle...roasted onions and grilled peppers. 

  What's not to love?

I marinated the onions overnight in red wine vinegar, water, sugar and herbs...
rosemary and thyme. A little butter at the end...

Grilled the peppers inside.

The onions turned out so damn good.

  After getting my veggies done, I went downstairs to help our landlord make the pasta.

  Big fun! He didn't want his photo put on social media, and I respect that.

  We had a good time together, and in the end it took all four hands to get the job done.

Getting ready to mix in eggs and knead the pasta dough.

That would be the mighty hand of our landlord...

Cutting and putting pasta through the machine.

Pretty cool! Now it needs to dry some before we cut it into tagliatelle.

Don't even THINK about it, Johnny!
Hands off!

It turned out great!

Mmmmmm...just add sauce.

I almost forgot to get a photo of the finished product before
I devoured it.

The second course of veggie side dishes was good, too...

Roasted onions, grilled peppers and a 'field greens' and ricotta pie.
Yes, please.

  It was so nice to sit outside and watch the sun go down with good food, wine and pals.

  We need to do this more often.

A happy Johnny is the best treat of all!
