I use minced spinach to make Spinach pasta. Gimme a minute so I can find the recipe from Marcella Hazan: Essentials of Classical Italian Cooking.....


Here it is:

Green Pasta Dough

1 1/2 C unbleached flour
2 large eggs
1/2 of a 10 oz. pkg of frozen Spinach or 1/2 lb fresh Spinach

Makes 1lb green pasta or 4 portions.

All you have to do is cook the spinach and drain it of all its liquid then chop it fine and add to the other ingredients. You can experiment with other veggies I guess. That's what I do....even if some of them did look as if they came from another planet.

How about French Beet Pasta. Beet imparts the most dramatic color, but the intensity of the crimson tint fades to a soft, muted ivory pink when cooked.

Just let me know if you need a recipe
