At home we usually make a lot of fresh pasta, we love it, but especially my son. I couldn't say which he likes more, whether sharing the time together in the kitchen preparing it or later tasting it. He's a pasta fanatic. I've been introducing him to Asian cuisine for some time (which I adore!) and so far he's liking it quite a lot. The easiest way to make a first contact are noodles. You could say they're a direct relative of pasta, so with this I was on safe ground. So today I show you how to make egg noodles.

They’re a whole other world.
