Mouse tails Pasta

Last Sunday, joined Italian cooking class with Taro. This time, we made mouse tails shaped pasta from scratch. We can enjoy the different taste- Thick and thin part-at the same time. During boiling, they look really mouse's tail.
No need to use a pasta machine. It took fortune time(probably more than 1 hour) to finish making them all, but after finish it, I felt accomplishment. :D
The sauce is a basil paste without pine nuts. I thought when we make basil paste, it is necessary to add pine nuts. But actually, the taste would be fine without them.

Taro's rate:★★★★
Recently he can eat anything. But still he is not good at eating fresh tomatoes. Probably because he used to eat them too much when he was a baby.

  2. Hi L.T.!
    As for the pasta, we used "semolina flour". 240g semolina flour, 120ml water, salt and 1 teaspoon olive oil. No need to use a pasta machine.
    When you make basil paste, you would be better to use a mortar rather than food processor. The texture become more smooth.This time, we added diced tomato and tuna.
    Is your shop in HK?
    My dream is to open my own cafe in HK in the future!!hehehe.
