Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and place them in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze out excess moisture.
In a food processor, combine the wilted spinach, eggs, olive oil, and water. Process until the mixture is smooth.
On a clean work surface, place the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt in a mound. Make a well in the center and pour in the spinach mixture.
Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the liquid mixture until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough with your hands, adding more flour or water as necessary, until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Flatten one piece slightly and keep the others covered to prevent drying.
Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out the dough to the desired thickness. If using a machine, start with the widest setting, gradually working your way to the thinner settings.
Cut the rolled-out dough into your preferred pasta shape, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle.
Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until it floats to the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite dairy-free sauce.
