Fresh Pasta Rocks!

This weekend was first time I experienced the joys of communal fresh spinach pasta making. Gorgeous, jade, speckly sheets of them! All thanks to El-Aubergine's chutzpah in suggesting we tread where only the most intrepid of cooks go. :)

pardon sorry collection of nicknames..totally going by word associations.
subject to change. forgive liberties i am taking. :)

El Aubergine - fresh spinach pasta, tiramisu
TolkeinFanGrrrrrl - thai glass noodle salad with kick ass sauce
GeekSupreme - extravagant boozy clam cream sauce for pasta
MojoJojo - Fabulous rustic apple crumble
PhotoBuff - Mediterranean seafood rice
Headhuntress- roasted garlic portabello mushrooms
NoLamb - Roast beef with yoghurt mint sauce
OrangeClouds - mezze style grilled vegetables ; macerated strawberries in mint balsamic vinegar
AnimeQueen - Head Sous chef, keeper of lychee sorbet and bringer of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tapes. whoohoo!
WatermelonGal & WeaponSmith- fruits

I made sesame encrusted Japanese style green beans as well as assortment of sauces to go with the pasta (miso-mirin clam sauce with nori flakes; chilli lemon tuna sauce; garlic mushroom chive sauce)

Much pleased. Much full. Ah the simple joys of December. First of many parties to come.
