About the Recipe
Dandelions in your untreated yard? Nutritious and delicious, let's go!
Ingredients
2 cups of washed and dried dandelion greens. You want ones not from a chem treated yard, and you want the younger leaves (less bitter than adult leaves).
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 - 1 1/4 cups flour
Preparation
Step 1: In food processor, combine all ingredients. When adding flour, do so a bit at a time (I like to add in thirds). Pulse process until combined.
Step 2: Turn out dough onto floured surface and knead with floured hands until firm and smooth.
Step 3: With a floured rolling pin, roll dough as thing as possible onto an area covered in wax paper. The noodles will puff up during cooking, so as thin as you can get it is best. Learn from my failure and use the wax paper so you aren't in a state of misery trying to dislodge the noodles from your counter.
Step 4: Let the rolled dough dry for about an hour.
Step 5: Cut noodles into desired shape. Here, I am using a pizza cutter to make linguini-like noodles. Try for as uniform as possible.
Step 6: Peel noodles from wax paper and have them ready.
Step 7: Salt your water for cooking the pasta and bring to a boil.
Step 8: Add noodles and lower temp to cook over medium for 3-5 minutes.
Step 9: Drain noodles, and use in your preferred dish. Don't forget your favorite sauce!
