These green spinach noodles have a very interesting texture and flavor--but they taste better than store-bought noodles because they're fresh.  Use in soups, or serve alone; they are great either way.  This is an easy recipe, and you'll get lots of compliments because you made them yourself.

Unique Spinach Noodles

spinach leaves

water

salt

all-purpose flour

Combine spinach and water in a saucepan.  Cover, and cook till spinach is very tender.  Cool slightly.


Place spinach and liquid in blender container.  Add egg and salt.  Cover, and blend till smooth.  Transfer to a bowl.  Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.


Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead  for 1 minute.  Roll very thin on a floured surface.  Let rest 20 minutes.  Roll up loosely.  Slice 1/4 inch wide.  Unroll.  Cut into desired lengths.  Spread out on a rack to dry for 2 hours.


We really enjoyed these!  Just a couple tips for anyone using a pasta maker to prepare these noodles (as I did).  First- I didn't cook down the spinach.  I used a food processor to chop the spinach and then added the water, egg, and flour and blended the dough.  This saved on pans/prep time.  I plan to do it this way again next time, however, I will omit the water or add more flour in order to create a more dry dough.  Otherwise- flavor was very good.  Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Squeeze all the water out and chop the cooked spinach as finely as possible. Add beaten eggs for the moisture component - this will make a much better noodle.

My first attempt at homemade noodles!  I followed DarcieA's advice - used my food processor, did not cook the spinach and did not add any water.  I rolled out by hand and cut with my pizza cutter (without rolling first).  I let air dry for a bit and then bundled into individual serving sizes, placed on a parchment lined baking sheet and froze (placed in plastic bags once frozen).  To cook, I got my water good and boiling and dropped the pasta in frozen, it took mine just a bit over 3 min to cook.  I loved it but found it too thick, I may need to invest in a pasta machine to get it thin enough :-)  Cant wait to try this again!  Its such a pretty green color!

Tasty noodles don't really taste like spinach so my kids liked them too!

Excellent recipe:) it made a fantastic tuna noodle cassarole. I had lost my great grandmother spinach Amish Noodle recipe and this one came very close to the one I lost. There is still one ingredient that is missing but I cannot remember what it was. Anyone out there have any ideas?

I added garlic, and put all the ingredients in a food processor therefore skipping the part about putting the spinach in a sauce pan 

let dry for an hour

Very good and surprisingly easy. Just to note the way the recipe was worded I thought that perhaps 1 & 1/4 cup of flour was an overestimation so I added flour very slowly. You don t need to be as careful as me. It was a very dry day when I made these and I definitely used over a cup and a quarter. Next time I d add the total flour and then slowly work in more until the dough was manageable. Thanks for the recipe!

i followed the instructions exactly and they came out great! very tasty
