UKRAINIAN NOODLE AND SPINACH CASSEROLE
Lokshyna, zapechena z shpynatin (in Ukranian) comes from Bake Until Bubbly by Clifford Wright. No, I do not speak Ukrainian but I thought I could copy it out of his book and pretend for 10 seconds. Don't I wish! You can prepare the casserole ahead of time, with everything in place except the hard-boiled egg garnish, and store in the refrigerator until needed. When baking it after it has been refrigerated, remember to keep it in the oven a little longer than called for in the recipe directions so that it will be hot in the center. He suggests that if there are leftovers, put this recipe with veal tomato casserole leftovers. Interesting fusion of 2 casseroles. Timing does not include hard-boiling the eggs.

- Bring a large pot of "abundantly" salted water to a vigorous boil.

- Remove the noodles by pulling them out of the water with tongs or a pasta fork and transfer them to a colander; allow the water to continue boiling.
- Transfer noodles to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of melted butter; half of the cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the spinach to the boiling pasta water, and cook until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute, then drain the spinach in the colander, squeezing out the excess water with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Finely chop the spinach and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over high heat, then add the onion.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spinach, increase the heat to high, and cook uncovered, stirring almost constantly, until the moisture in the pan has completely evaporated and the spinach as begun to stick slightly to the pan, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper.
- Arrange one-third of the noodle mixture in a layer on the bottom of the casserole.
- Place half of the spinach on top.
- Cover the spinach with the next third of the noodle mixture, then cover with the remaining spinach.
- Add the remaining noodle mixture as the top layer.
- In a medium-size skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat, then remove from the burner and stir in the bread crumbs and remaining cup of cheese.
- Quickly sprinkle the bread crumb mixture on top of the noodles.
- Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Garnish with the hard-boiled eggs.

HOMEMADE SPINACH NOODLES
I decided one day to try to make since I had been making egg noodles for years. Here is the result. New Note: A reviewer stated she would try carrots or sweet potatoes. Great! But grate carrots, steam with water in microwave and then mash. Mash cooked sweet potatoes, use less water in sweet potatoes.

Steps:
- Put spinach and salt in blender. Pulse a few times until finely chopped, not totally a clear liquid.
- If cooked mashed carrots 1 1/2 cups, if cooked mashed sweet potatoes, 1 1/4 cups.
- (The salt brings out the water in the spinach).
- In large bowl, add flour.
- Make a well in the middle, a deep hole.
- Add beaten eggs, margarine and spinach mix (or carrot or sweet potato mix.).
- Fold the flour in all four direction over the well.
- Then add the water.
- Keep folding the flour over and over.
- If it is too wet, add 1/4 cup flour. Then use hands to mix.
- Knead dough with the back of your palms until it becomes smooth. If it is sticky, add a little more flour.
- Form into a large ball and place in a bowl.
- Cover and let rest for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Divide dough, into 3 portions. Turn out each portion on a floured board, roll to.
- about 1/4 inch thickness. Put through a pasta machine if you have one. If not, try to roll out to 1/8 inch thickness and cut.
- Into 1/2 inch wide noodles. You can dry in the air, I prefer to dry on a tray in the oven at 200°F--it is faster. I turn the noodles a few times before they are dry.
- Note: Some spinach has more water. If it has larger leaves it contains more water than smaller leaves.That is why you need the addition of more flour if needed.
- Store in a air tight container.
