Blender Recipe Fail

We got a Blendtec blender, and have loved using it for many things- but the first recipe we tried out of their recipe book was an epic fail.

The recipe was for spinach whole wheat pasta.  It didn't start off too bad, it looked like dough. 

It all started to fall apart when we tried to roll it out.  We used a bunch of flour, and then rolled the dough out. But, no matter how much flour or how many times we tried rolling it out it wouldn't work.  The dough kept sticking to the cutting board.

So, we decided we should just throw them into the pot.  Jake thought we should make spatzels, so he balled them up and put them in.

Maybe spetzels are great (KC has never had them)- but lumpy spinach pasta was not so great.  The texture was a lot to get past.  We smothered it in meat sauce and cheese, and it was barely edible.

Thank goodness this blender makes great smoothies! ;)
