UNIQUE SPINACH NOODLES
These green spinach noodles have a very interesting texture and flavor--but they taste better than store-bought noodles because they're fresh. Use in soups, or serve alone; they are great either way. This is an easy recipe, and you'll get lots of compliments because you made them yourself.

WILTED SPINACH WITH NUTMEG
After rinsing the spinach, leave some water clinging to the leaves. This will help the spinach wilt evenly in the pan, without becoming too soft. Try serving with Pork Chops with Apples and Shallots.

Tips for Making Spinach Nuggets:
- Use fresh baby spinach. Fresh spinach is more flavorful and tender than frozen spinach, and it will help your nuggets stay moist. If you must use frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
- Add some grated parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese adds a delicious cheesy flavor to the nuggets and helps bind them together.
- Use a food processor to chop the spinach. This will help ensure that the spinach is finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the nuggets.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough nuggets.
- Use a nonstick skillet to cook the nuggets. This will help prevent them from sticking and burning.
- Serve the nuggets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard are all great options.
Conclusion:
Spinach nuggets are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, give spinach nuggets a try!
