Spinach Noodles from Scratch

Ingredients

• 2.5 ozfresh spinach
• 3egg yolks
• 2.5 cups00 flour
• 1 tbspolive oil
• 1 tspsalt

Steps

1. 01

   Blend the spinach and egg yolks in a blender or food processor until smooth.

2. 02

   In a medium bowl, mix the 00 flour and salt.

3. 03

   Make a well in the flour on a clean, dry surface. Fill the well with the spinach mixture and drizzle the olive oil on top.

4. 04

   Slowly incorporate the flour into the spinach mixture using a fork and a bench scraper.

5. 05

   Once the dough starts to come together, knead it by hand until a smooth ball forms.

6. 06

   Split the dough in half and roll each half into a 1/2-inch-thick disc.

7. 07

   Roll the dough into sheets using a pasta roller (I roll to size 3) — spinach dough holds up better rolled a little thicker than a standard noodle.

8. 08

   Cut the sheets into your desired length and shape, then hang to dry.

9. 09

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook until tender, 7-10 minutes.

10. 10

    Strain and serve with your sauce of choice — these have so much flavor on their own that good olive oil and garlic is plenty. Best eaten the same day; fresh pasta doesn't keep long in the fridge.
