Day two hundred and forty-six: When I started reading a section on homemade pasta in an Italian cookbook, I didn’t realize I would be making some a few hours later. But with some extra time on a long, relaxing weekend, it was the perfect thing to try. Without no pasta machine, I decided to follow the instructions for flattening the dough with a rolling pin. I had a taste for a sausage and fennel sauce that called for ziti, but I opted to cut and roll the pasta into boccoli, which are supposed to resemble ringlets. It took awhile to make, but it came beautiful, and it was exceedingly delicious. A real Labor Day treat I thought deserved some fancy lettering!
