Pasta Making

The children really enjoyed their visit to the Inspire studio where they watched our school chef make pasta. We decided to be 'Have a Go Heroes' and make our own pasta in the Nursery. Mrs Colby and the children were busy weighing and measuring the ingredients that they needed. They enjoyed watching them mix together in the food processor. Following this, they made the dough into little balls and used the rolling pin to roll it out. Their favourite part was turning the handle on the pasta making machine and watching as it turned into tagliatelle. Some of our little chefs had the special job of making the sauce to go with the pasta. It was wonderful to watch the children carefully chop the onions and observe how they changed once cooking in the pan. The smell of the sauce created an interest in the Nursery and everyone started to get hungry! Once the tomatoes were added, we decided to use some freshly cut thyme from our herb pots to add some more flavour. After all of their hard work, they got to eat their pasta with their friends. It was delicious!
