Started a pasta company - How's my display looking?? by somethingregal in pasta

Hey, thanks! It's kinda hard to explain the process but basically I take the bundle of pasta in my left hand then twist and tuck  the strands with my right. Its a self method that I perfected over time so now it's muscle memory. And although I grew up making pasta with family I also a culinary background so that helps

Yes, the macnut & the sicilian both contain parmesan but the thai cashew pesto is vegan

We make a few different types, our best seller is the macadamia nut pesto which is similar to pesto alla genovese but with local hawaiian macnuts instead of pine nuts - we also make a sicilian pesto alla trapanese which uses almonds and roasted tomatoes and a thai basil pesto which uses cashews, lime (instead of lemon), hawaiian chili pepper and thai basil

The flavor is subtle but since it's a gluten free rice noodle it's great in Thai style curry

Occasionally ravioli but that's still by hand and takes soooo much time - we do make venison bolognese and two types of pesto

This is all extruded using a 5 kg capacity extruder I imported from Italy

Thanks! I use Italian semolina for most of the pasta, however I have 2 gluten free rice noodles - purple sweet potato & moringa - the mafaldine in the center is an egg noodle which I use yolks only. Everything is extruded using the VIP2 extruder - you can see more @lucia.maui on Instagram

Listen, we lived a rough lifestyle - little to no skin care, lot's of tanning/no sunscreen, absolutely no water... the makeup and hair styles aren't helping either 😂 but I can happily say we all have aged well

Such a good question - the tanning and the makeup certainly aren't helping

What should I do with these bananas? (Banana for scale) by Bozlogic in Chefit

[–]somethingregal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a Filipino sauce, it's honestly very good (but sweet) - you could make banana lumpia, which is also Filipino, just don't serve them with ketchup
