      So, inspired by @Alex and @Chap  I decided to start making pasta.  Paula gave me a pasta making machine about 20 years ago, so I thought I better start using it 😃 😃 😃

      My first recipe is:

      6 eggs
      Slug of olive oil
      Some sea salt
      300gms "OO" flour
      300gms Semolina

      I heard that Semolina works well with more rustic dishes (which is basically all I can do anyway)

              Thx @jordanscollected

              Actually no cooking… the fishmonger usually gets fresh stuff on Wednesday, so we went japanese today. He even managed to smuggle salmon from Scotland to Austria

                Thats Funny, same here, inspired by @Chap ´s IG Post I went out to the Store in my Lunch break and got some Semola di Gran Duro and made Pasta myself after like 10 Years not making any (expect Spätzle)

                Rolled out by hand with an absolut unit of a rolling pin made in germany from german wood by Isenberg, insane price but heavy as hell with ball bearings, made to last with repair garentee.

                Picked up some Moliterno al Tartufo and absolutly insane Pecorino with truffle kneaded in, which leads to these dark vaines of truffle all over and an intense AF truffle taste through the whole piece.

                There is a Alba Truffle Version too which i may have bought on accident and payed a solid 25€ for a piece like the one pictured, things happen  😃

                The final product all plated up with my marinara sauce i preserve once a month for me and my friends and the for mentioned pecorino.

                Thanks to Chap for the Inspo, I´m on fire atm when it comes to cocking, whilest waiting for the dough i made some mexican taco seasoning myself for the weekend  😃

                              A nephew gifted us for Christmas some Wagyu steaks (filets), which I must say are the best piece of meat I've ever eaten. I made them tonight with Hasselback potatoes and creamed spinach.

                                    Bon apetit!

                                    It is great in salads too, warm potato salad with mustard dressing for example. It also does well with strawberries, plum, and figs, that kind of thing. Some of the more earthy conservatives are also good. Decent apricot jam, your plum jam. That kind of thing.

                                    EDIT: @Giles  I forgot the classic, on bread with sour cream with thinly sliced red onion.
