Making homemade pasta and cooking it on a wood stove

While we were up in the mountains we had a treat because we got to learn how to make homemade pasta that looks like little caves.  Maria made the dough with flour, and pumpkin and a little water.  She kneaded it for a long time and then make long skinny ropes which she cut in about an inch or more lengths and then pressed each little piece in such a way that they curled up and formed a little cave.  The elders and I learned how to do it and here is proof.  We then cooked  them on a wood burning stove that reminded me of Noni Rae's stove in Big Piney, but it was smaller. I got a picture of Brother  Mondeli picking Arugula out in the field, for our salad.  It was a day out of a story book.  It couldn't have been better.
