It Is So Easy.

It is so easy to make.

Just one egg,

One hundred grams of flour,

Mix them together into a dough.

Flatten the dough,

Again and again,

Again and again.

Run it thought a press,

Again and again,

Again and again,

Thinner and thinner each time,

It is so easy.

Then cut the dough

Into a quarter inch strips,

And there you have it

The tagliatelle is prepared.

It is so easy,

But then you have the problem.

There is flour everywhere,

Small lumps of the pasta hide away

All round the kitchen,

All through the house,

And you spend the next few days

Finding it in strange places,

At least I do!
