Pasta (as you already know) comes in lots of shapes and sizes. I usually make mine ain the shape of long fettucine or spaghetti simply because the attachments on my mixture make this much easier and quicker to make. This time I tried my hand at making orecchiette, little ear shaped pasta. This is a great shape to make if you don't have a mixer with fancy pasta attachments because all you really need is your bare hands & a sharp knife. I will tell you that this takes a bit of time so do it on a lazy afternoon when you haven nothing planned.
Happy Friday!
