You can add a new twist to your family’s favorite noodle dishes. It can be as easy as switching up what kind of noodles you use. I follow the how-to basics on making egg noodles from scratch found here.

Variations on homemade noodles: Punch up the flavor and nutrition of your  homemade noodles by adding pureed cooked or roasted vegetables during the mixing stage.  Adjust the flour amounts as needed:

  • 1 1/4 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked, mashed carrots
  • 3 tablespoons frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and pureed 
  • 8 ounces red or golden beets (about 2 medium), without greens – roasted, skinned and pureed
  • 2 1/2-pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded, baked and pureed
