Spinach Noodles

The link that is attached will show you step by step pictures for making these noodles.  They are wonderful, easy and taste great.  All of my children loved them.  Such a good use for extra spinach.  

Spinach Noodles - (From The Enchanted Broccoli Garden)
1 lb Spinach
2 1/4 c Flour 
1 Large egg - room temperature
Wash spinach, drain and chop coarsely
Cook over high heat in large skillet, until limp - do not add any more water
Puree in blender
Put flour in bowl - make a "well" in the center
Beat egg - add to center of flour
add pureed spinach to center of flour
Stir with fork till mixed well.  If real sticky add some flour (dough is quite soft)
Knead dough with hands, again adding flour if way to sticky, until smooth
*Depending on the water content of cooked spinach, and egg size, you may find that you are adding 1 cup or more of flour.  Just remember, you want to be able to handle the dough but you do not want it to be stiff.  
Rest dough for 1 hr (I accidentally skipped this, and it worked just fine)
Split dough into two balls
Spread flour, heavily, on counter, dough will be coated as you roll it out
Roll dough, flipping over often to keep it from sticking on counter, add flour if needed to counter
Roll as thin as you can (1/8")
Cut with sharp knife in the width you want, I use very very narrow
These noodles will get thicker when cooked, so thinner is better
cook fresh, or hang and dry for later use.

Great idea! We are going to make this using Chard instead as our spinach didn't do well. In fact we just planted a different type so maybe we can also try some spinach pasta down the road. Full report of course :-)

@YourGardenShow:   I think you will enjoy them, we surely do.  My kids are the ones that get me to make them, as they really love them.  I will be looking forward to your review.  :)

Fresh pasta sounds like a great idea to tonight's dinner along with some wilted greens for our salad.  I saw a recipe using radish including the tops so I will try this out tonight as well.

I made this last week and it turned out great. (The "fresh" spinach in the grocery store didn't really look edible so I used frozen)  I have been playing with some other ideas I got from JMTKMS and will post the AWESOME results shortly.

@gailsgarden:   So glad you liked them... We sure do.  I actually froze some of our spinach and plan on trying some made from that, soon.  Good to see you, hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season!
