The stuff looks excellent. I am writing a proposal on nettle cultivation and I would like your permission to include a picture of your pasta in an appendix of nettle products.

It sounds like your fridge is related to mine frozen in some places, warm in others…that pasta looks fantastic. I guess if you wanted a green colour you could use spinach but nettle sounds quite flash!! The fava beans sound delish too.

Oh, Oh..that’s just the best looking thing I’ve seen all week. I adore fava beans and everything about that picture is perfect. Sigh….favas.

The green pasta looks great! I have never had stinging nettle but it sounds interesting. My fridge does the same thing. It is annoying when it freezes something that does not freeze well.

It took me a few mintues to realize that “nettle pasta’ was (DOH!) about adding the nettles to the pasta DOUGH and not a shape I had never heard of! another moment of silence for the Kitchen Aid attachments. it has changed my life.

The KA pasta attachments get easier to use once you have used them a few times. I’ve had separation issues with a few pasta recipes. If you can base the recipes off the KA book, then start altering/adding ingredients that should improve your luck.

I recommend making a few word for word. If it’s too sticky, or not the right density, things start to get mucked up.

The pictures are so colorful and inviting. I can’t wait to try this delicious recipe myself. I’m very sorry to hear about the fridge, but luckily it all worked out for this delicious dish! This is my first visit to your site and I was referred by elise at simply recipes. I am glad I found this site. Very nice blog!

Oh, I love homemade pasta so much. And I’m sorry for your refrigerator – I had a hard time with mine, too, and it was brand new back then (I’d been married for 2 months only!)

poor you about the freezer. might be time to get a new one! jokes. mine’s pretty bad. someone coke can exploded in there so there’s frozen coke crap everywhere. and a broken bottle of champagne on my shelf too. so don’t worry, your freezer ain’t too bad yet

the pasta looks wicked! i love the colour. and the sausage looks like a winner too – cooked to glorious golden brown perfection.
