Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly, ensuring there’s no dirt. Blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds until wilted, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool.
Step 2: Squeeze out excess water from the spinach and finely chop it. Use a food processor to puree the spinach to a smooth consistency, if desired.
Step 3: On a clean work surface, pour the all-purpose flour into a mound and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, spinach puree, salt, and olive oil into the well.
Step 4: Using a fork, gradually mix the wet ingredients while slowly incorporating the surrounding flour. Once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to knead it into a smooth, elastic ball. Knead for about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 6: Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4 smaller portions. Roll each portion out using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until it’s paper-thin. Dust the surface and the dough with a small amount of flour to prevent sticking.
Step 7: Cut the rolled dough into your desired noodle shape using a sharp knife or a pasta cutter. Common options include fettuccine or spaghetti-sized strands.
Step 8: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until tender. Fresh noodles cook much faster than dried ones.
Step 9: Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or toppings. Enjoy your homemade spinach noodles!
