Take: 2 boys (best mates, no fighting allowed) and 1 nanny
3 bowls, 3 cups plain flour (ordinary), 3 eggs, 1-2 teas oil, 3 teas water (just to adjust consistency)
Make into playdoughish consistency. Knead, make dinosaurs, shapes, squish through pasta maker into monster's hair, throw into the air and try to catch a few times (what the heck, we'll be boiling it), roll back up into 3 balls, fight over whose ball is the biggest and put into the fridge for an hour or two. Go to park.
Return from park and help nanny feed it through the pasta machine, taking turns nicely. One boy helps feed pasta through the machine while the other one is in charge of keeping the dough nicely floured throughout the process.
Turn feral once mummy arrives and, in the mayhem, forget to take the pasta home.
Nanny, not sure how long it will keep or what it will be like, decides to use and replace.
Chicken breast fillet sliced small
3 slices bacon diced
1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 chilli diced finely
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 handful sliced mushrooms
1 large tablespoon tomato paste
2 large tablespoons ricotta
fresh oregano, parsley
Fry chicken in batches in a little oil. Add mushrooms, bacon, onion, garlic, chilli and fry up. Add the tomato past, herbs, fry a little longer. Add fresh herbs and ricotta.
Throw the pasta into boiling, salted water for about 1 minute (longer if using dried pasta).
Toss the pasta into the sauce (or serve separately if you prefer). Toss lightly, add lots of pepper and serve with extra parsley and maybe some grated parmesan (optional).
