Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh spinach
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Semolina flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Water (if needed)
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain and immediately transfer the spinach to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Finely chop the cooked spinach, or blend it into a smooth paste for a more uniform dough texture.
On a clean work surface, combine the all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Create a well in the center and add the eggs, egg yolks, salt, olive oil, and the prepared spinach.
Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs and spinach, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Once the mixture becomes too thick to mix with a fork, begin kneading the dough by hand.
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle with a little extra flour.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Once rested, divide the dough into 4 portions. Working with one portion at a time (keeping the remaining portions covered to prevent drying out), roll the dough out thinly using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
Cut the rolled-out dough into wide ribbons approximately 2-3 cm (about 1 inch) in width to create pappardelle. Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pappardelle and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and floats to the surface.
Drain the pasta and toss it with your choice of sauce, such as sage butter, marinara, or a creamy Alfredo. Serve immediately and enjoy!
