spinach pasta dough

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.

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

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.

Fresh Spinach Pasta

Baby spinach (5.29 ounces)

Sprinkle of salt

00 plain (8.8 ounces. All-purpose flour)

Organic eggs

How to make the spinach:

Spinach pasta needs an extra special ingredient – baby spinach! Place the leaves into a pan and put on the stove top at a medium heat.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the pan and leave to cook, with the lid on, mixing it every so often with a wooden spoon.

Switch off the stove and add the hot spinach to a food processor, blending it until it becomes a cream.

How to make the spinach pasta dough

Pour 250g/8.8oz flour on a wooden bench, create a well, and add 2 eggs and one heaped tablespoon of your spinach cream.

Whisk the eggs with the spinach (using a fork) and slowly mix the flour by pinching the sides in, then combine the rest.

Once the spinach and egg have disappeared into the flour, use your hands to combine the rest of the flour and repeat the same motion to bring it all together, then knead the spinach pasta dough.

If you are happy with the consistency (making sure it’s not sticky), and there is a lot of flour on the bench, just scrape it to the side, and keep kneading.

When it is smooth and soft, create a ball of green pasta dough and wrap it tightly using a plastic wrap then leave to the side for 30 minutes.

Once the time is up, sprinkle flour over your bench, unwrap the dough and dust some extra flour on top.

How to roll out the green pasta with a rolling pin (or a bottle of wine!):

Cut the spinach pasta dough ball in half (covering the other half so it doesn’t dry out) and use your rolling pin to stretch it out by rolling it forward and back, then turning it over and repeating until you have an even, thin pasta sheet.

Try to create a large oval or square shape before folding it in half 4 times, sprinkling flour on top each time you fold it.

Use your knife and cut your desired shapes, the best types to make this way are: green spaghetti, fettucine, tagliatelle or pappardelle - just adjust the thickness.

Unravel and add extra flour so the strands don’t stick together.

How to roll out the spinach pasta with a pasta machine:

Cut the rest of the dough in half (using a quarter of the total) with a sharp knife.

Sprinkle flour on top of the pasta machine and also on top of the piece of dough.

Flatten this piece slightly with your hands, before putting it through the pasta machine, on the widest setting.

Roll the dough through the machine, then fold it in half and repeat.

Then change the setting to the next one up, feeding the spinach pasta sheet through every time, up to (and including) the seventh setting.

Once you have a beautiful, smooth sheet of pasta, select your pasta shape, sprinkle flour on the machine (and the dough) and feed it through.

In both cases, once you have created the pasta sheets, you can also use them for lasagna or ravioli.

E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!

Spinach Pasta Dough Recipe | Step by Step

200 gr (1 ⅓ cup) all purpose flour

gr (½ cup+1 tsp) semolina flour

eggs (about 120 gr)

60 gr (2 cup, no packed) fresh spinach

Salt

Wash throughly the spinach and boil them in water with salt until they’re very tender and mushy.

Remove them from the hot water and place them in a colander to get rid of the excess of water. Gently press them with a spoon until all water is discarded.

After all water is gone, proceed to press the spinach through a strainer into a bowl, this need to be done when the spinach are still very hot, otherwise it won’t be as easy. You can also leave them to cool down then place them in a food processor and pulse until you’ll obtain a smooth puree.

Sift the flour and semolina together and then place them into a mound on a work surface.

Make a well in the center then add the eggs, the spinach puree and a pinch of salt.

Start working the dough by mixing the ingredients first with a fork until incorporated.

Now, with your hands, start incorporating the flour and knead adding -only if you see is needed- some teaspoons of water.

Once you’ll achieve a very smooth and elastic dough form a ball and let it rest for about 30-40 minutes covered with a damp kitchen towel before you proceed to cut it into your favourite type of pasta format.
