Pappardelle casalinghe...

...Handmade Pappardelle with Walnut Pesto Sauce...




I am not keen on Pasta (not a good Italian, am I? ) and I don't make it often, even if I should, as I know my husband like it much...
However, today, having some fresh duck eggs and needing some more practice for the final exam of the course for cook, I decided to prepare the dough and make some Pappardelle...
In the fridge, there was still some of the Pesto Sauce I'd made with fresh basil and walnuts (without Parmigiano) and few cherry tomatoes to garnish...
It's been a real surprise for my husband coming from work at lunch time... He's enjoyed the Pappardelle so much...!!!
Infact, they were good: the right thickness, right cooking time, right flavour and a good marriage with the Pesto Sauce and cherry tomatoes...
I must do it often, I even enjoyed making it ...
