Long Time No Share; Pasta and Smore's Pie

Hello all. I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. I have tried a few new things but I am only going to post two until I find the recipe again for the other and make it again and take pictures. So first things first. Pasta. I do not have a pasta machine so I did everything by hand. It turned out okay although the sizes were different and the noodles were a little thick but they were very tasty and even without sauce. I did have to play with the recipe some but the recipe I mainly used is from allrecipes.com and was posted by Pat. The recipe posted below has my variations in it.

Basic Pasta Recipe

4 Eggs
1 Tsp Salt
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the flour, add the slightly beaten egg, and mix. Mixture should form a stiff dough. If needed, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water or oil.
2. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 3 to 4 minutes. 
3. Wrap ball in plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hr
4. With a pasta machine or by hand roll dough out to desired thinness. Use machine or knife to cut into strips of desired width. 
5. Set strips on pasta rack or on a towel over a broom handle between two chairs and allow the pasta to dry a bit. If wanted once completely dry the pasta may be frozen or stored in a container. 
6. If cooking cook it until it is to the tenderness of your liking. Whether it is 4 or 5 minutes for al dente or longer for more done.

Smore's Pie

2 Cups Cold Milk
1 Package Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 Graham Cracker Crust
7oz. Marshmallow Fluff

Mix instant pudding according to package then set in refridgerator to set. After about 5-10 minutes take out the pudding and pour into the crust. Cover and set in the freezer if desired to allow the pudding to set further. If not, stick the fluff in the microwave 10 seconds at a time to make the fluff softer. Spread it on the top of the pudding. Set your oven to broil and place the pie on the top most rack. Watch it carefully so that it does not catch fire. Once a nice golden brown color has appeared take out. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs if  desired. Enjoy.

This Smore's pie is to DIE for. The top has that delicious toasted marshmallow flavor and everything tastes so good together. It is so easy too. I had found a similar recipe in a magazine I received but not having some of the ingredients I improvised and made it my own, as well as taking some pointers from other recipes (such as the broiling...never broiled a thing in my life But it was very yummy.

 I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I have. Enjoy and let me know what YOU think! Thanks and remember to keep cooking!
