Summer means doing all kinds of things I don't have time to do throughout the rest of the year. It often means reading books, watching loads of movies, cooking, going for bike rides and so on. So today I thought it was about time to make some homemade pasta. It's been a rainy day. People complain about bad weather, but I find rainy summerdays very pleasant. First of all rain feels good. Secondly it gives me a good reason to stay indoors and do something fun or cosy, for example making home made pasta.

With some help from the cool and capable Jamie Oliver of whom I used to be a fan I made some wonderful pasta.

Left to dry.
