First, I am the blessed owner of a pasta machine, purchased because I wanted to make pasta with whole grain flour instead of eating the boxed stuff. Last week I started to ponder the power of pesto and the benefits of spinach, and thus was born my idea. Here are my tools:


It LOOKS nasty, but it's healthy! After that I added flour until there was no stickiness in the dough, and then I separated it into golf-ball sized sections. (Once you crank it through the pasta machine, the pieces become HUGE.) Voila:

I put it through the next section on the pasta machine, and behold my...linguini??

I failed to get a final picture...so this is as good as it gets.
I mixed around in pesto, and it was enjoyed by all! Even the 14 year old brother who thought it looked weird admitted it was tasty.
The moral of the story is that there are other main dishes besides meat. And very good for you!
