Recipe - Homemade Herb Pasta

1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon Fresh sage
One fourth cup Water
2 cup Flour
2 small Eggs
One half teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Heavy cream

Chop herbs very fine. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan; add herbs
then return to boil. Reduce mixture over heat to 2 T. Process the flour,
eggs, salt, heavy cream, and herb mixture in a food processor until it has
a coarse meal texture. Knead on a floured surface unti smooth. Quarter the
dough and run through a pasta machine until very thin. Cut into fettuccini
and cook in boiling, salted water for about 3 minutes.

Drain, rinse, and toss with butter. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Makes 10 servings.

This is great with the world's easiest sauce:

Saute one med chopped onion with 2 cloves chopped garlic Dump in one to two
cans of stewed tomatoes, or several chopped fresh Add a small handful (4 T)
dried oregano or some chopped fresh Add 12 T salt (oops that was
teaspoons!) Add 1 t sugar (if you like a sweeter sauce)

Simmer for 20 minutes. Other herbs such as basil or bay can be added for
extra flavor
