362-360 Pasta Alimentale




 I wanted to make a new dish.
 I haven't done anything like that lately.

 I'm thinking it's time to expand the repertoire of menu items on our farm, and I'm looking for things to do.

'But, well, it's not too much trouble.

 We don't have any materials, so we don't want to do anything complicated like growing them from scratch.
 We'll just use what we have now.....

 However, our farm is now quite well stocked with a wide variety of ingredients, and we have most of them now.
 I miss the frustration of the old days when we would say "we don't have this" or "we don't have that".

 So I decided what to make.

Should I make spaghetti or something?

 For some reason, the ones I've made so far have been mainly Japanese style, so I'd like to try my hand at some Western style.
 I would like to try my hand at western style dishes around here.

 And if I'm going to make it anyway, it would be easier to develop it into something equivalent to the main meal.

 That's why I decided to make spaghetti, and I don't mind, right?

    * * * *

 Koo-neko-nee, koo-neko-nee....

 I mix the flour with water and egg and so on and knead it.
 I feel that this work is already familiar to me.

 I often make bread and so on.

 Today was a prototype, so I made fresh pasta instead of dried noodles.
 I didn't have a pasta machine or anything like that, so I made it by hand.

 When the dough was suitably finished, I chopped it up with the Evil Sacred Sword Dry Schwartz and made it into a proper noodle shape.
 .........and then the usual men appeared.

 Prati and Veerle.

 Whenever I create a new dish, they notice and come over with an Esper-like sensitivity.
 The only thing different lately is when Prathi hugs Junior.

'The master is making a new dish!

 Prati said with a twinkle in her eye.
 'He has the eyes of a hunter.

'Hah, no, look closely. Do you have a knothole in your eye?'
What did you say?

 Veerle says next to him, somewhat provocatively.

"Don't fish have a memory? You've probably seen it before, the way it's made. It's made by kneading flour into thin strips. That's...

 Tame.

"....it's udon!

 Hi, wrong.
 I've made udon noodles before.
 It's only natural that it looks familiar, and since it's a noodle made from the same flour, it's not surprising that you look at it differently.

'Master - how could you be so thoughtless as to try to create something existing with such an up-and-coming look? There's been no new work lately, and I'm guessing you've run out of talent.

 Oh?

Oh, well. If it's only noodle soup, I'll help you cook it. I want you to get to know this Grinzeldragon's handiwork.

 And so, for some reason, Veal also rolled up his arms and joined in the kitchen.

Mix the right amount of flour and water, and when it's mixed together, knead it! Kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten...!

 What's that? Veerle started beating his hands with great speed.
 Udon.

 But this is not the case.

 I've already finished the noodles, so let's move on to cooking.
 There are many different kinds of spaghetti, but today I think I'll make the simplest one, peperoncino.
 

 So here's the peperoncino.
 I drew oil in a frying pan, added chopped garlic and pepper, and fried it.

 Meanwhile, Veerle continues to work on making udon noodles.

'The noodles are done! Now let's boil it, let's wash it!

 Leave that guy alone.....
 The peperoncino making continues.

Next, I'm going to make udon soup! You have to make a broth with katsuobushi and kombu and add soy sauce and mirin!

 Throw the pasta into the prepared oil.
 Stir-fry thoroughly to combine the flavors, and season with salt and pepper.

Put the boiled udon noodles in the bowl with the dipping sauce. And then add leeks, and leeks, and leeks! Add more scallions and more scallions!!!

 Remove from the pan before the noodles get hard and put them on a plate....

''Done!''

 Spaghetti peperoncino!

Udon!
''No!''

 There were two different dishes on the table that had nothing to do with each other except that they were noodles.

What is this? I thought it was udon, but it's not udon at all! The master has made a pathetic version of udon!

 Don't say things that would make all Italians angry.

The new dish you've been waiting for. I call it spaghetti or spaghetti or peperoncino.
"That's a lot of names, which one?!

 It's too much trouble to explain them all from scratch, so just call it spaghetti for now.

Oh, well, let's get right to it...

 Prati, who had only been watching from the sidelines, sat down and tasted the peperoncino first.
 Even though I didn't teach her, her spinning motion of teasing the noodles with her fork was elegant. As expected of a former princess.

''Good!''

 Teletellee.

'This is so good! At first I didn't know what would happen to udon noodles without soup, but it's a completely different texture and flavor! It's so tangy and spicy!

 It was quite a rave.
 But Prati also put the pasta in the udon category. It couldn't be helped, though, from the order of things.

It's an adult flavor in many ways........
It's got nink in it...

 I don't even know if we're ready for baby food yet. It's definitely too early for Junior to be saying, "You know what?
 Let's give him the satisfaction of still having platy tits.

"Huh! Those juniors deserve udon noodles!

 Veerle said something.

Udon doesn't have such a strong taste, and it's perfect for riniuju food! Udon is the righteousness!

 A mysterious push from Ville.
 Since when did you get such a push for udon? A particular prefectural citizen?

 The fact that this dragon was able to easily make udon noodles by hand before I knew it is frightening.

What are you talking about? It may not be suitable for junior's baby food, but the peperoncino is a blast! The spiciness of the chili and the smell of garlic will give you a lot of strength!

 And then there's Prati's mysterious pasta thrust.
 Are you from a particular boots-on-the-ground land?

"Don't hit Junior with your garlicky breath! Didn't Junior smell that?
Shut up! Udon is so tasteless! Be a miso stew and come back!

 I don't know why, but a noodle war has broken out.

"Stop, why do the same noodles need to fight each other...?

 But I can't stop the two most powerful people on the farm.
 It's no use........we'll just have to call in the best helpers.

Holkosfone!
Yes, sir.

 It's Holkosfone, the Angel of Destruction's turn.

 Horcosfon immediately stood in the kitchen and threw the raw pasta that I had left to fry into the pan and.......
 And natto (fermented soybeans)!

Natto pasta

 And then Veal combines the leftover boiled udon noodles with regular dipping sauce....
 And then he throws in some more Natto!

Natto udon noodles.

 A specialty of Kagawa became a specialty of Mito City in an instant.

In this way, any food becomes more delicious when combined with natto. If you can make a dish taste better by mixing natto, then the dishes are all brothers. There's no need to fight with each other.
'I see!'

 Veerle and Prathi hugged each other.

'I'm sorry I was wrong! There's nothing racist about good food!
'Yes, spaghetti is a great noodle! No need to distinguish and fight!

 I held Junior in my arms as he passed me and watched the scene of peace.
 Yes, good friends are the best.
 We have to cook to make everyone smile.

 Now let's develop a tomato sauce and try spaghetti with meat sauce next.
