I love making new pasta shapes and trying new recipes to go with the fresh pasta. I made pappardelle to go with my cacio e pepe sauce and it was a match made in heaven.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Pappardelle ♥
It is amazing when I am sleeping at home how little disturbs me. I can sleep with the blinds open and the ambient light is not an issue. But when we stayed at friends recently, as soon as the sun showed her face I was awake. And when we were in Ortigia I could not sleep because the street light shone into the room. On that same trip, the wind in Maratea kept me awake at night. And yet at home I am so used to the wind howling. We have little to none traffic noise at our house and it is one sound that will keep me awake. That and Church bells which chime every 15 minutes do nothing towards getting a good night’s sleep. I am sure that the familiar environment of home negates all the niggly things that keep me awake elsewhere.

Usually the first night we sleep anywhere new is difficult. To that end when we travel locally we tend to stay in the same guest houses. And when I look at places to stay overseas I try and choose beds that are queen size so Dave and I are not cramped. And we look for accommodation away from main roads and train stations. I am also not a huge fan of spending one night in a place if possible. But this year we have a lot of single night stays. Three of them are because we want to be close to the airport for early morning flights. And two are due to travel and location needs. Do you find it difficult to sleep in a new place?

Making pasta is so therapeutic. It looks delicious, Tandy!
Thank you Alex 🙂
I really battle in refuges when sharing.. I hear everyone else sleeping and I am still awake.. 😉
That is not nice!
Your pasta drying rack is very impressive! Looks like a really successful batch of pappardelle. We used to make pasta with a rolling device, but after a couple of years moved on to other food hobbies.

Dave asks for fresh pasta often which is great as I love making it 🙂
I was sleeping great anywhere. I’d look at hotel reviews and if they complained about noise, know it wouldn’t bother me. But since I started keto I don’t sleep as well. No keto flu or anything, but I sure hope this goes away. When I’m done, I want to make pasta. Yours looks great!
I must ask my friend Sandy if she too had this when she started her Keto diet?
Sleeping at home is definitely more comfortable for me but a lot of it has to do with the pillows. I am quite particular about the pillows and some hotels have terrible pillows!
That is why I travel with my own pillows 🙂
I too find it difficult to sleep in a new place. The first night is usually rough, but the second night is better. 🙂 Love that you’re making fresh pasta. It’s my goal to get back to it again this year. I’ve missed making it.
I want to start teaching classes in pasta making this year 🙂
Such beautiful pappardelle! It is amazing when you make your own and yours looks just perfect.
Thank you Merryn, that is high praise indeed 🙂
