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.

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. Read More

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! Read More

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? Read More

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 Read More

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! Read More
