It's a pleasure to attend gastronomy class for week 3 and present my homework. For this week, l have learnt that a main dish should weigh between 400 and 550 grams, it should have three basic elements (protein, vegetables and carbohydrates) with this amount it is assumed to be enough for an individual.

I also learnt that we have more than 300 pasta in the world but is grouped into dry and fresh pasta. Is this not amazing? Please follow through as l answer my homework questions and carry out practical aspect of making a fresh pasta.

Have you ever made fresh pasta at home? What was your experience like? Tell us.

To be very sincere, l have never made it before. Let me say that in my whole life, l never thought of how fresh pasta is made from the scratch. But Gastronomy group has feed me with interesting information. It was simple but exciting moment to have this experience.

Prepare fresh pasta for 1 person, What kind of pasta did you make? Tell us.

From this week course, l am made to understand that we have different types of pasta. So, for making pasta preparation for one person in this contest, l choose tagliatelle pasta which is cutting of long, flat or ribbon-like pasta and Enjoy it with beef tomatoes sauce. Since l don't have floor measurements at home, l went to market and buy a measurable quantity. l got 85g of floor,1egg other items were available at home.

We would like you to use the pasta you made to create 1 main dish for 1 person. Please tell us what sauce you used or what ingredients you used to complement the pasta to create your main dish. Support your explanation with your own photos.

I dished out the pasta for one person and I used beef tomato sauce which contains protein to complete a main dish for one person.

I really enjoyed this meals because it is delicious so l have to add it to my family Menu.

When l read this contest, l was very curious of how making pasta from the scratch will look like but now l have accomplished it. I'm very delighted.

Which starter and which dessert would go with the main dish you just prepared? Imagine a 3-course menu that goes with your pasta.

I believe having chicken pepper soup as a starter and chill watermelon smoothie as dessert will give me a complete day with adequate meal.

Starter: Chicken pepper soup

Main dish:Tagliatelle pasta with beef tomato sauce.

Dessert:Chill watermelon smoothie 🥤.

I love and enjoy this challenge although for the past two weeks, I was not among the winners, but l will never be discouraged learning new things in Gastronomy world and that's my goal.

Thanks so much for helping me to try something new in my life. Correction is 100 percent accepted, after all l am a student so I should learn from my mistakes. l am eagerly waiting for what will come next week.

I would like to invite @lirvic, @lovinah @ninapenda and @jyoti-thelight to make thier fresh pasta.
