    that looks great. any idea why it’s called mother in law pasta? before googling the term, I was thinking that your mother in law had made the pasta, and I was amazingly impressed with her skill at mixing colors within her homemade pasta! :)

      You’re not far off- they’re called mother-in-law’s tongues (Lingua di Suocera) because they are long, colorful and sharp around the edges. ;-)

      Thanks, Jen!
