Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In a food processor, blend the fresh spinach leaves until finely chopped.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt.
  3. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Divide the dough into four equal portions.
  6. Working with one portion at a time, flatten the dough with a rolling pin until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
  7. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the flattened dough into thin strips to create noodles.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes or until al dente.
  9. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a serving dish.
  10. Serve the unique spinach noodles with your favorite pasta sauce or drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  11. Enjoy your delicious and healthy spinach noodles!
