Got a pasta machine for last birthday and gave it an inaugural run today.

Marinated a flattened chicked breast in basil pesto with some extra lemon juice and black pepper. Pan fried, on top of homemade tagliatelle (tossed in the same) spinckled with crispy pancetta.


hoo-boy. a bit of work, but oh so worth it. I'm not usually pushed about pasta but this has converted me.
