Homemade Noodles ~ Crackly Pear Cake

At the end of last year's season, I invested in my dehydrator and this Marcato Pasta Maker.  It came with only one attachment, so I am using the above cut, for noodles.  Hopefully, by next season, I will have attachments for lasagna, ravioli, and more.


I couldn't really find answers via the Internet, about drying noodles to freeze.  One site said you didn't have to dry them completely if freezing them, and you can boil them frozen later.  

I'm experimenting with this type of stocking up this year, and will dry some completely as well.  I think a dinner with fresh noodles is in the making this week too.


I also baked Crackly Pear Cake recipe again, saving the egg yolk for more noodles.

Good Morning! I make homemade noodles but I cut them all by hand. I like a thicker handcut noodle. And yes I dry them before freezer and cook from the frozen state.
Mmmm...fresh noodles.
I might make some today too. I've got some chicken that is cooking right now. Honey love homemade noodles.
I almost bought one of these pasta makers at a yard sale for cheap of course...but, it didn't have a handle. I didn't know how hard it would have been to find one via internet.
Thinking back, I wish I had. Apparently it isn't hard to find replacements for these things!
I keep hoping they have another sale...and might put it back out there.
They had a ton of stuff!

We can buy fresh egg pasta here in Italy and I freeze it all the time, and just cook it the normal way. Have you tried making gnocchi with potatoes and flour we can buy dried ones too
I have not made gnocchi. It sounds wonderful.

Thank you all for your tips on freezing noodles.

I bought a pasta maker attachment for my KitchenAid mixer but haven't had a whole lot of luck with it. Your noodles look perfect! :)

I freeze my noodles after making them! I let them dry enough to not be sticky & then put them in containers to freeze. It is a wonderful way to use excess eggs up! I just cook them from the frozen state for about 20 minutes in my soup broth.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
