Eighth of an Acre Bounty

The spinach I planted in the cold frame way back in February has turned into a bumper crop. In addition the girls have had numerous 3 egg days recently so this household has been rolling in the greens and eggs. What better way to celebrate the emergence of true spring than Spinach pasta?

Tuesday night we had our beekeeping meeting and had to eat quick before we were out the door. I prepped the pasta dough a little earlier in the day and used leftover chopped up green onion, red pepper and mushrooms from a pizza making session over the previous weekend. Threw in some garlic and fennel sausage and we were ready to eat. This was my first attempt at making a pasta dough with anything added in, and it turned out quite well. So well that I believe we will be having spinach noodle lasagne on Saturday night with guests!
