I love to make pasta dishes because I can prep the lickety-split and then take care of other things while it bakes!

Soooooo. I got this Pasta Machine that I can’t get enough of. I made lasagna a couple weeks ago.. but I had trouble with the mix… it was non-photogenic… but pretty yummy! So this is take 2, with a new flour mix and a decree to not follow the recipe and Voila! It worked! not perfectly beautiful on the prep, but delicious and looked just fine!

1 red onion, chopped
