green pasta

Fresh pasta is something special and this spinach version has an added nutritional punch. Comforting and tasty.

Fresh spinach pasta

oz baby spinach

eggs

salt

olive oil

all purpose flour

semolina flour (127 grams, or additional all purpose flour)

If using baby spinach, place spinach in a large bowl and pour over boiling water until all is submerged, pushing leaves down as needed. Leave for a minute then drain and allow to drain as it cools. If using larger leaf spinach, put the spinach in a pan of boiling water and boil for about 2-4minutes, until wilted and soft then drain.

Once the spinach is cool, squeeze well and squeeze again to get as much moisture out as possible. Roughly chop if larger leaf, then put in a food processor with the eggs, egg yolk and salt and pulse until well chopped and mixed, scraping down as needed.

Add the flours about 1/2 cup at a time and pulse three or four times after each addition. Add the olive oil part way through. Once all added, pulse until the dough comes together, away from the sides into a ball.

Remove the dough to a floured surface and knead with floured hands for about 5 minutes. It should be soft but not sticky - if it is, add a little more all-purpose/plain flour as you knead.

Wrap in plastic/cling film and allow to rest at room temperature for around 30min. At this stage, you can keep the dough in the fridge for a day or two until ready to use.

When ready, divide the dough into 4-6 sections and cover the pieces you aren't working with with a damp cloth to save them drying out. Prepare some trays by dusting them with semolina flour.

As you work with each piece, flatten it out slightly, dust with flour then put it through your pasta roller on the widest settings a few times (3-5 about right) until smooth, dusting with flour in between if at all sticky. Then move up the settings rolling once or twice at each settings until you get to the thickness you would like. Then either use the cutter attachment or hand cut and place the ribbons onto the prepared trays in a single layer and cover with a cloth (damp if they'll be left any length of time).

Once all is done and ready to cook, place handfuls at a time in boiling water for around 2-3 minutes.

Serve with your preferred sauce/addition eg browned butter, mascapone, pesto, roast tomato sauce.

This quick and easy Greek spaghetti recipe is perfect for busy weeknights. Made with grape tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, and flavorful herbs, you&#039;ll have a fresh and flavorful dinner on the table in no time.

Greek Spaghetti

spaghetti

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

tbsp red wine vinegar

lemon juice

garlic

tbsp fresh chopped basil

tbsp fresh chopped dill

oregano

sea salt

½ tsp fresh cracked pepper

salted butter

grape tomatoes (halved)

½ red onion (diced)

oz frozen spinach

oz crumbled feta cheese

Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium to large pot. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 12 minutes, then drain and set aside.

While the noodles are cooking, combine 3 cloves of garlic, basil, dill, oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in a food processor and pulse for 15-20 seconds to make the sauce.

Melt butter in the pot you cooked the spaghetti in and add tomatoes, onion, and spinach (break apart the frozen spinach so it thaws quicker). Cook for 7 minutes, then add the remaining garlic and stir.

Add noodles and sauce to the pan and toss to coat. Cook for 7-10 minutes.

Top with crumbled feta and fresh dill for garnish.

This creamy avocado pasta is rich and flavorful, contains just 5 simple ingredients, and will be on your table in 20 minutes (or less!) for a nutritious mid-week meal! Best of all, the green pasta sauce is gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and 100% vegan!

Creamy Avocado pasta Sauce (Green Pasta)

oz pasta (of your choice)

small avocado (or around 1/2 large avocado)

basil leaves (loosely packed)

lemon

tsp salt

tsp pepper

pasta water

Cook your pasta according to the package instructions and your preferred level (al dente vs. more tender).When draining the pasta, keep around 1 cup of the pasta water to one side.

To prepare the green sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend into a smooth sauce. I like to start by adding just 1/3 of the pasta water and then adding more until I&#039;ve thinned the avocado sauce into my desired consistency.

Give the sauce a taste, increase the seasonings/lemon if preferred, and then combine with the pasta, mix well, and serve!Optionally, top with a little parmesan (or nutritional yeast for a vegan alternative).

This avocado pasta is best enjoyed immediately. However, any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. However, I&#039;ve found that the flavor seems to mellow as it sits, so you may want to add a little extra lemon juice or seasonings before serving.I haven&#039;t tried freezing the creamy avocado sauce as I imagine it could impact the flavor and texture negatively. However, feel free to experiment - I suggest freezing in an airtight container for between 1-2 months.
