Wash spinach and spin to dry in a salad spinner (or dab dry).

Remove any long or tough stems.

Place the fresh spinach in a large non-stick pan with olive oil over medium high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the spinach is cooked through (3-4 minutes).

Cool slightly. Place spinach on a cutting board and chop.

Cool completely and use in place of frozen spinach in your recipe as directed or freeze in a medium sized freezer bag.

Ingredients

Prepare all ingredients you will need for easier assembly.

Prepare the Chicken Breasts

Using a sharp knife, make 4-5 cutting slits into the chicken without cutting to the bottom of the chicken pieces.

Fill the Chicken Breasts

Fill each slit with one piece of tomato, mozzarella, and one bigger leaf of basil. Continue until you have filled all the chicken breasts prepared.

Baking Tray

At this point, heat the oven to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and gently place the chicken on top of the tray.

Olive Oil

Once your chicken breasts are spread nicely over the tray, sprinkle them generously with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Salt, Pepper, and Bake

As the last step, sprinkle salt and pepper. Place chicken in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees f.

Learn how to make fresh spinach pasta dough from start to finish. Only 4 ingredients! I've included 3 different mixing methods for you to choose from: by hand, with a food processor and Kitchen Aid stand mixer.

Fresh Spinach Pasta Dough

spinach (I like tender, baby spinach leaves)

egg (55 g)

egg yolk (18 g)

250 g Tipo 00 flour (or King Arthur all purpose flour)

g olive oil,

Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer (w/ pasta attachments)

In a small bowl, beat the egg, egg yolk, and olive oil together. Add the chopped spinach. Set aside.

Mound the flour onto a board (or bowl). Make a well in the center; add the spinach mixture. Using a fork, mix everything together, gradually incorporating the flour as you go. Finish by hand to form a cohesive dough- it will be very dry at first. This is normal. You can add a few drops of olive oil to moisten the texture, if needed. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes before kneading (I use an upturned bowl for this). The dough will be softer and easier to work with.

Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes. Do this by pushing the dough forward with the heel of your hand while rocking the dough back and forth. (watch this video). The goal is a soft, malleable dough with a talcum powder finish. Poke it when you&#8217;re done- it should bounce back.

Shape into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. The next step is to roll and cut the dough.

Step #1: Make the Dough

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces; flatten one into a thin 6-8-inch oval disc (re-wrap the remaining pieces so they don’t dry out).

If using a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, send the dough through the roller attachment at the lowest/widest setting. This is “#1.” Now, send it through again (so, 2x total). Note: if you are using a hand-crank pasta machine, refer to the manufacture’s specific instructions for rolling the dough. The numbered settings might differ but the rolling process is the same.

Continue to roll through settings #2-4 (2x on each setting) for spaghetti, fettuccini and pappardelle. For ravioli, the dough needs to be thinner- go up to #5 or #6.

When finished, fold the pasta sheet in half, place onto a semolina dusted tray, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Roll the remaining 3 pieces of dough.

Step #2: Roll the Dough into Sheets

First allow the pasta sheets to semi-dry. You&#8217;ll get a slightly firmer texture, rather than soft and doughy pasta strands. Drape the pasta sheets over the back of a chair or on a rod for about 5-15 minutes, depending on temperature.

Divide a pasta sheet in half. Run it through your pasta cutter of choice- I used the spaghetti attachment.

Dust the pasta noodles liberally with semolina flour to prevent sticking- don&#8217;t skimp here. 

Step #3: Cut the Pasta

Made this tonight and it turned out great! Easy dough to work with and so pretty.
