Spinach Noodles
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Spinach noodles can easily be made at home. Homemade spinach noodles look very unusual thanks to their beautiful emerald color. If you can't find special pasta flour, it's not a problem—you can prepare it from regular flour in the same proportions, or use semolina, but only made from hard wheat varieties. Making the noodles is very simple; details are in the step-by-step recipe. The finished dish can be served at the table.
