Homemade spinach noodles or pasta is not only fun but it is cheap and easy, all you really need is flour and a rolling pin for basic noodles. However, if you love making fresh noodles/pasta at home, get a simple hand-crank noodle machine, which will save you lots of work in kneading and speed up the whole process.

Spinach is a great addition to homemade noodles, these dark leafy green vegetables give your homemade noodles a beautiful brilliant green, and the spinach noodles a boost in nutrients.
