Virgene taught me the art of making pasta almost 20 years ago. The pasta machine with the hand crank, (you sissies with your power tools!) would be run by the menfolk while we gals sat around and sampled the wine. when the pasta was finally cut and resting, we would bring out the bagna cauda to resuscitate and reward the men. <br /> <br />I hadn't thought about this until Merril posted the recipe and cookbookchick asked me to post my version--so here 'tis.
