homemade green pasta

How to make Spinach Pasta Dough from scratch. This recipe is super easy and uses just 2 ingredients (flour and spinach) to make bright green and delicious homemade spinach pasta dough. Make into lasagne sheets, tagliatelle or any shape you like!

Spinach Pasta Dough

baby spinach ((100 grams) washed and dried)

Italian 00 Flour ((200 grams))

extra flour or semola rimacinata (for dusitng)

Make sure you are using washed and ready to eat baby spinach. If you are using mature spinach leaves you'll need to cut off any large stalks.

Put the flour in a food processor then add the spinach Blitz the flour and spinach for a few minutes, you&#39;ll notice it turns powdery then starts to come together more. It&#39;ll take a couple of minutes.

Stop the food processor and feel the dough, if it feels soft and sticks together it&#39;s ready but if it&#39;s too dry add a little more spinach and blitz again.

Tip the dough onto a clean work surface and bring together. Knead the dough for about 10  minutes it may feel quite stiff at first but it will turn smooth and elastic the more you knead it.

Cover it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. This is a really important step and allows the gluten to relax making your dough more pliable and easier to work with.

Once ready, cut the dough in half and squash it to fit into the widest setting of your pasta machine. Make sure to dust in semola or flour so it doesn't stick.

Pass it through the widest setting once then fold one edge to the middle and the second edge over that so it overlaps. Pass it through the widest setting then repeat the process 4 times.

You can now pass it through 1 higher setting at a time and create whatever pasta shape you'd like. For tagliatelle I tend to stop at number 5 on my Marcato Atlas machine but do what you prefer.

A two-in-one recipe for homemade green pasta a delicious whole-food vegan pasta sauce.

Homemade Green Pasta

all-purpose flour (or pasta flour)

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

greens (heaping, I used parsley)

garlic

water

tbsp cashews (or sunflowers seeds)

edamame (thawed)

If making your sauce, prepare it first. In a blender, add the greens, garlic, water, cashews and edamame, and blend until smooth.

For the pasta, in a food processor, add the flour, greens and oil. Process until you achieve a “dough ball”. 

Transfer to a floured surface, and knead for a couple of minutes, forming into a flat disk shape. 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then using scissors, slice the disk into approximately 1 inch long “noodles”. Transfer to the boiling water, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until soft. 

Once cooked, transfer to a pan over medium heat with the sauce. Combine everything and then serve with black pepper, red chili flakes and vegan parm as desired.
