Health and fertility benefits of Spinach Bow-Tie Pasta

Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility.

Ingredients

1 10-oz. package frozen spinach, thawed
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Squeeze excess liquid from thawed spinach. Pulse in a food processor.
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer on medium speed with dough-hook attachments, combine flour, eggs, olive oil, salt and spinach. Mix until just combined.
On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary. Wrap dough in plastic and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Working with 1/2 of dough at a time, roll out on a floured surface until very thin. Transfer dough to a cutting board and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to make 1-inch-wide strips. Slice strips at 1 1/2-inch intervals, creating small rectangles. Pinch centers of rectangles together to make bow-tie pasta. Let pasta dry for 24 hours on a floured towel or wire rack.
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, about 5 minutes, then serve with your favorite sauce.
