food lab #9: Pasta with Alfredo sauce

Pasta with Alfredo sauce

  • What were some challenges you faced during your lab? How did you deal with them?
In this lab, we decided to make the pasta ourselves which was a challenge for many of us because non of us, including me, didn't know how to do it correctly. After we started the dough, the texture of it wasn't right which started confuse us; but after a few minutes of mixing the dough with hands,it became okay and ready to be flattened and cut. when we were cooking the pasta, we forgot to add oil to the boiling water which made our pasta to stick to each other but with adding some olive oil before putting the sauce on it, the problem was solved .
  • How can this lab be altered to suit one’s preferences/cravings?
well, Pasta that we made was a simple one so it had a flat taste. for making it flavorful, one can eat it with different sauces that suit that person preferences better. for example, if some one is vegetarian or vegan, he or she can enjoy a tomato and garlic sauce while some people like to have ground beef or dairies in their sauce. as long as Pasta is served with different sauces, anyone can enjoy it.
  • Does this food remind you of any  family recipes? Which one? Talk about it.
At home, my mom cooks a really special kind of pasta sauce which is incredibly delicious! it contains curd, cumin, fresh parsley, some chopped basil and garlic. Basically, you have to chop and mix everything together and cook it on medium heat for about 15 minutes till its lava like and cooked. then you season it with black pepper and salt!it's ready to be served in anytime after that!!
