why not make some fresh pasta?
Just 00 flour and eggs.
Just bung a pile of flour on the table, and make a well.
Add a few eggs and mix and mix and mix until you have a dough.
A pasta machine ( about �15) is needed to roll the dough really thin, but it is possible to do it by hand.
Then make your shapes - tagliatelle is probably easiest, and then leave it to dry. (over a clean tea towel over the back of a chair, or something like that).
Whilst it's drying, make a lovely sauce with fresh tomatoes
The pasta will only take about 3 mins to cook.
You won't believe the difference in taste to dried stuff.
Well worth the effort involved - and a good laugh!

Me and hubby cook together all the time - how sad I sound - but it really is fun. My favourite is the roast dinner because it takes ages and I'll have wine too, but mid week we both like making our own wraps.
I buy ome wholemeal tortillas, then we dry fry some chicken, and add some peppers, chillis and tomatoes, meanwhile I put a salad together and pack the wraps, then put a dollop of mayo and a dollop of salsa on each one before adding the cooked chicken and peppers and wrapping. Mmmm, could eat one now.
