Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Dandelion Egg Noodles
  1. Wash the young dandelion greens thoroughly to remove any grit. In a food processor, combine the cleaned greens with two fresh eggs, then blend until smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and a pinch of salt until evenly integrated.
  3. Gradually pour the blended egg and dandelion mixture into the flour bowl. Using a fork, incorporate the flour into the wet mixture until a stiff dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Divide the dough into manageable portions and roll each piece out on a floured board to about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Let the sheets of dough dry at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  7. Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dried dough into desired noodle shapes.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cut noodles and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender.
  9. Drain the noodles in a colander and serve with your favorite sauce.
