as i have mentioned before, jamie oliver is huge in denmark. he's everywhere -- on tv, in the bookstores, his kitchen supplies are everywhere. he is pretty much a big deal here. so, with that said, morten and i were watching a jamie oliver episode where he was talking about eggs & chickens and blah blah blah. i was a bit disappointed with the chicken bit, because he took these two factory chickens that had been kept in cages for their whole lives and put them into a chicken coop. i wanted to see if their appearance changed at all, but jamie just left us high and dry.

anyway, he had a bit on homemade pasta and he, of course, made it look super easy with his pasta machine, but the idea still stuck with us (along with the idea to make merengues), and we decided to try our hand at homemade pasta today. it was super easy even without a pasta rolling machine, and it was delicious! basically, 1 egg/100g flour/person. bam. homemade pasta. the hardest part is getting it very thin with just a rolling pin.

and i swear i helped! i really did. it was all so easy and fun to try something new, and i really think that we have nailed the perfect bolognese sauce :) thank goodness there are leftovers! now, to start thinking of the next food adventure to try next time...
