Pasta, Frozen Yogurt, and How to Make Caesar Dressing

I'm challenging myself to make most things from scratch these days.  Here are pics from a fun pasta making night.  We made tagliatelle and spaghetti.  The menu as follows:  Caesar Salad, Pasta Carbanora with English Peas and Raspberry Frozen Yogurt.  The yogurt was fat free by accident (grabbed the wrong pint) but was pleasantly surprised how well it froze!  Recipe for Caesar dressing follows. 

GOOD GOOD EATS!
Couldn't find the rolling pin!

Went through the machine 3-4 times

Whomp....there it is....!

2 kinds
Caesar Salad with Romaine, Heirloom Tomato & Arugula
Spaghetti had better consistency with the Carbanora Sauce than Tagliatelle
Dessert!
