pasta with vegetables

• 2 -3 cups hard vegetables, diced fine (carrots, celery, cauliflower, bell peppers, red/sweet onions etc, no zucchini - which would turn to)
• 1 clove finely chopped garlic
• 1 pinch chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 12 lemon, juice of
• 2 eggs
• 300 g flour
• 200 g spinach

1. boil spinach for a few minutes in water, then drain thoroughly& squeeze dry chop spinach fine.
2. mix spinach w/ eggs, and then mix with flour and knead a few minutes for a fairly firm pasta dough.
3. let dough rest for a few minutes tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.
4. roll pasta out, and cut into somewhat even strips about 1/4" wide with a pizza cutter.
5. dry pasta for a few minutes.
6. bring a big pot of water to a rollicking boil, add some salt.
7. drop the pasta into the water (add no oil!
8. ).
9. place the veggies in a serving bowl.
10. remove the pasta directly to the bowl w/ veggies when the water foams aggressively.
11. it should still be quite firm.
12. if you have a pasta colander that fits in the pot of water this helps, but otherwise, you could just drain in a colander or pick the pasta out with a pair of tongs.
13. either way, get it into the veggies as hot as possible.
14. add garlic, chili flakes, oil and lemon, stir and serve with either a sprinkling of basil chiffonade, or parmigiano, or both (or your own fresh herbs!
15. ).
