SPINACH PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the spinach and cook for 5 minutes, or until wilted.
• Add the spinach to a food processor and process until finely chopped.
• While processing the spinach, spoon the flour in a little bit at a time until a crumbly dough forms.
• While continuing to process, add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Then, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until dough comes together (the amount of water necessary will vary depending on how wet the spinach is).
• Remove the dough from the food processor and knead on a floured surface to form into a ball.
• With a rolling pin, roll dough out into an oval, about 18 inches (46 cm) long by 12 inches (30 cm) wide, and ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.
• With a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into even strips about ½ inch (1 cm) wide.
• Roll the strips into thick noodles.
• Once the water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon of salt and drop in the pasta.
• Cook the pasta for 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles float to the top. Drain.
• Toss with roasted vegetables and pesto and top with basil.
• Enjoy!

• SERVING SUGGESTION: Spice up your mealtime with these easy-to-make sliders. Serve with your favorite fresh fruit to round out the meal.
• NOTE: These sliders are equally delicious whether served as appetizers or as an entrée. Be aware of portion size - an appetizer serving is 1 slider, while an entrée serving is 2 sliders.
• GET ORGANIZED BEFORE GRILLING: When cooking the entire meal on the grill, plan ahead so that fast-cooking foods are added to the grill last. It's okay if the meat is done before the other foods. Just place it on a clean platter, then cover with foil and let it stand up to 10 minute or until the other grilled foods are done. Standing allows the meat juices to be absorbed into the meat, resulting in better flavor.
