Home Made Paprika Pappardelle with Mushroom Ragout

I finally made home made pasta... Home made, hand rolled, and hand cut to be exact (lol). Because how long can you wait for you head to remember to buy pasta roller? It is on my "to buy" list for over 2 years - hint for the darling Santa Clause ; )))

Pierogi Cooked Chinese Way, with Beluga Lentils, Wild Mushrooms and Ginger

Pappardelle with Mushrooms, Thyme and Sherry

 Most of the time I work at home and quite often I get carried away and forget to eat. I usually realize that when my stomach gets louder than the music that I'm listening to. A plate of pasta is the perfect solution. Quick and easy meal when you are rushed and want some comfort food. Meal, which preparation takes as much time as boiling the pasta.

Pierogi with amaranth, broad beans and Greek anthotiro cheese

For those unfamiliar with the term PIEROGI, they are Eastern European stuffed pasta just like Italian ravioli or Chinese dumplings. They can be boiled or boiled and then fried. Either way they are delicious. I, myself like them steamed-fried, my Polish-Chinese fusion technique :)

Back home in Poland we make various kinds of stuffing, from sweet and sour cherry to potato and cheese. Options are endless, I like to follow my imagination.
