Directions
Spinach Pasta, Just one version I don’t use a pasta machine but you can if you want There are lots of variations for differently colored pastas, this one is a rich green and has lots of spinach in it to sneak veggies into the kids Raviolis take more time Times listed are for fresh , This recipe makes yummy pasta! I made 1/3 of the recipe; used fresh spinach and ran it through the food processor with the egg as you suggested I didn’t have any trouble kneading the dough to the right consistency but apparently my rolling-out skills are not up to par; I didn’t get the dough thin enough and ended up with more of a dumpling than a noodle 😉 Still cooked up tasty with a nice texture though; I was serving with a stroganoff-type meat and sauce so the thicker noodle actually worked out ok with that I will definitely using this recipe to make my own pasta again – thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2012
