Today I started on my occupation, I went to Emily's a friend of mine and she taught me to make pasta dough by hand, and then use the pasta machine to stretch and cut the pasta.

-Water
- Flour
- 1 Egg
Add egg to flour and mix until it turns into dough, then add water as needed. Very simple to do. When the dough mixture is kneaded enough it is ready to put through the pasta machine to stretch it and then after the pasta is stretched you can cut the pasta. The process takes time but once its done it looks great
Next once the pasta is cut, you can cook with it !!!
The purpose of making pasta by hand is to understand that before the pasta machine was invented we had to do all our cooking by hand, it also gives me an appreciation of the food and the time and effort I put into it to turn it into the finished product.
Hand making pasta is both purposeful and necessery. Purposeful as it is hands on and you can use this as therapy, and necessary as not everyone will have a pasta machine and cooking/preparing food is necessary for us humans to survive.

Participation barriers and affordances

Personal Reflection
I learnt so much from making pasta, I didnt realise how long it would take and I realise that it is a awesome stress reliever. I had to learn how to use the pasta machine which was great, and I was proud of my pasta ! Would totally recommend learning to make pasta by hand !
