Hey thanks for the link.
Grandma Rose used to make home made pasta every weekend in Brooklyn in Bay Ridge.
She was in her 80s in the ‘70s :)
Man could she cook.
I remember being over there one day and her sister, my Aunt Mary, got busted by cops for bookmaking along with her 2 sons and boy was she mad.
She kept saying “they won’t let you make a living in this country!” :)
Enjoy. I'm about to go downstairs and make some rustic pasta now, a mix of all-purpose flour and semolina, rolled out flat to thin it then rolled up into a tube and cut with a knife so it ends up in strands like long noodles. No pasta roller necessary and it tastes wonderful.
I had a few close relatives, uncles and aunts, with names like Rosa, Mary, Paul and Peter. Remember them fondly. So did many of my Italian friends in the Bronx. Must be an Italian thing.
