Instructions
-
Squeeze excess water from chopped spinach.
-
Blend spinach with eggs until smooth and dark green.
-
Combine flour and salt, then create a well in a mound of the mixture on a floured surface.
-
Pour the spinach-egg mixture into the well and gradually incorporate the flour using a fork, then knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky.
-
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
-
Set up your pasta maker and divide the dough into 4 to 6 equal sections, keeping unused pieces covered.
-
Flatten one dough section into a rectangle, then feed it through the pasta maker on the widest setting, folding it into thirds, and repeating this process several times.
-
Continue rolling the pasta sheet through progressively smaller settings until it reaches the desired thinness.
-
Utilize the pasta sheets as-is for dishes like lasagna, or cut them into noodles or form them into ravioli.
