As the clock for 2012 slowly winds down many of us are behind the scenes winding up the clock for 2013. I have many exciting things to share with you in the coming year and I hope you come along for the ride, but in true blogger fashion I am not going to say one more word about that and leave you hanging with a pasta post.
Making spinach pasta is as easy as can be - creamed spinach, egg, semolina flour and mix and knead and mix and knead until it is glossy. Roll out the dough as thin as you can get it (I have a machine so I stop before it gets too thin) and you are ready to make a world of things like ravioli, for example.
Spinach and crab ravioli is fast, easy, rich and satisfying.
Once you have the sheets rolled out you can then run them through a pasta cutter to make fettucini or spaghetti or angel hair or you can cut them with a knife or you can tear them into rags.
Pasta rags with crab and tobiko in a tomato butter sauce.
The easiest thing to do with large pasta sheets is to make a lasagna. Crab Lasagna - layers of fresh made spinach pasta, layers of lump crab and crab claws, layers of cheese and creamed spinach, layers of fresh marinara all topped with a super creamy béchamel and served with some buttery tomato and garlic sauce. Eat drink and be merry my friends - see you in 2013.

I can't think of a better dish to toast the New Year ... crab, pasta and a little bubbly.
Look forward to what you've got up your chef's coat sleeve for 2013.
All the best!
Creamy béchamel and crab meal - ooh, la, la. You've had a wonderfully exciting year and can't wait to see more.
Wishing you and your family a happy & healthy new year.

You are back!!!
The spinach pasta with crab looks amazing.
Happy New Year-looking forward to seeing your regular updates to your blog. You have to give your 5000 facebook friends another place to visit on a regular basis.

I'm supposed to be eating lighter right now, but wow, how could I ever resist this. I too make spinach pasta, but I've never stuffed it. I need to pin this for such a day.
Happy New Year, Christo! Hope it's a good one for you, and I hope you and your son get plenty of time to unwind in New Mexico next summer.
I am trying but I am failing to be all that I can be - I hope in oh one three I can do better
