Ingredients
1 sweet potato (peeled, boiled, and mashed)1-2 oz spinach1/4 cup white whole wheat flour + some for kneading
1. Steam spinach until wilted. Let cool and squeeze dry with paper towels.Chop finely.
2. Mix spinach with mashed sweet potato. Let cool completely.
3. Add flour, bits at a time, until dough forms. May need to add more flour depending on size of sweet potato, but be careful as to how much because going overboard will create a finished product that just tastes like flour.
4. Flour surface. Knead dough 1-2 minutes.
5. With hands, roll dough into skinny log, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Cut 1 inch pieces from log.
6. Boil water. Drop piece of dough into water - If it falls apart, add more flour to your dough. Otherwise, place about 1/4 of pieces into water. About 1 minute after they float to the surface, they are done and may be removed. Continue in batches, careful to not overcrowd, until all pieces are cooked.
7. At this point you can eat them as is, toss with marinara sauce, saute with olive oil and garlic, or drizzle with sugar free syrup or brown sugar!
- The nutritional information reflects a 1/2 cup of flour because that is how much I ended up using. Simply subtract, from whole dish, 110 calories, 0.5 g fat, 23 g carb, and 4 g protein if using only 1/4 cup.
