If you’re making lasagna, there is no need to
run to the store for your noodles!
Becky Low says every cook should learn to make
their own pasta noodles.
Pasta Filling
8 ounces fresh spinach
2 hard boiled eggs, optional
2 ounces (4 slices) Provolone cheese slices
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 cups savory bacon Alfredo sauce
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
chopped tomatoes, optional garnish
snipped fresh basil, optional garnish
Homemade Pasta Noodles
1 cup flour
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon lemon pepper, optional
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook spinach and drain. Hard boil optional eggs, shell and
slice; set aside.
Stir together flour, garlic salt and optional lemon pepper.
Make a well in center of flour; add eggs and milk. Using a
fork whisk eggs, gradually incorporating flour until egg
mixture (if needed, add a little extra flour to produce a
dough stiff enough to handle. Press dough together into a
ball and knead on a floured surface until smooth. Flatten
ball and roll into a 10×18 inch rectangle (to prevent dough
sticking to surface continue to sprinkle flour under dough
as needed).
Spread approximately ½-cup Alfredo sauce in bottom of 9×9
square pan or approximate size casserole dish. Using
rolling pin to lift dough gently place in pan; dough
overlapping on both sides. Arrange drained cooked spinach
in bottom of lined pan; arrange sliced eggs over spinach;
spoon approximately 3/4-cup Alfredo sauce over eggs and
spinach. Arrange slices of Provolone and shredded cheese
over sauce; fold pasta dough over filling and spoon
remaining sauce over top stuffed pasta. Bake 50-60 minutes,
remove cover, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake
another 5-10 minutes. Allow to stand 10-15 minutes before
cutting. Serve garnished with chopped fresh tomatoes and
snipped fresh basil. Serves 6
Notes:
Using old fashioned tried-and-true homemade pasta with a
upbeat stuffed entree your family will love. Experiment
with fillings of your choice: cooked chicken, mushrooms,
onions, marinara sauce, etc. Serves 6
