Pasta a la Pogo



Spencer had the best time making homemade spaghetti with Grandma and Grandpa. He helped every step of the way. First he mixed the dough.



Next he cranked the dough through the pasta maker, not once, but five times for each section of dough.



When the dough was thin enough, Spencer cranked it through the machine one last time to cut the dough into thin spaghetti noodles. It's definitely a job that requires more than one person - one person to do the cranking and one person to catch the noodles as they come through the machine.



The noodles were placed on a rack to dry. Eating homemade pasta definitely spoils you for the store-bought variety. Not only were the spaghetti noodles delicious, but Grandpa made his family meatball recipe. What a treat for our last evening in Milwaukee!
