It hasta be pasta!

One of our stops on our little trip to Orange and Los Angeles Counties was Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. One of the stores there is Williams-Sonoma. We had been to one of their stores earlier in the week on our San Diego-area shopping day. But we thought we had time so why not browse here.

Good thing we did. There is a new KitchenAid mixer attachment! A Williams-Sonoma exclusive!

We picked up the KitchenAid Pasta Press.

It makes your spaghetti. It makes your bucatini. You want fusilli? You got fusilli. It extrudes your macaroni (both large and small). And it makes rigatoni.

We made rigatoni for supper last night. Jerry made tomato cream pesto sauce from Betty Crocker's Pasta Cookbook that came in one of the more successful General Mills Christmas C.A.R.E packages.

Everything turned out very nice.

I've created yet another YouTube video in the How To & Style category that shows the extrusion process. I didn't bother with the mixing of the dough. Jerry makes a cameo appearance.

Here it is!

And here is supper with its sauce.

Mmmmmmmmm!
