Instructions

1. 1

3. 3

   Add the spinach to a food processor and process until finely chopped.

4. 4

   While processing the spinach, spoon the flour in a little bit at a time until a crumbly dough forms.

5. 5

   While continuing to process, add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Then, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until dough comes together (the amount of water necessary will vary depending on how wet the spinach is).

6. 6

   Remove the dough from the food processor and knead on a floured surface to form into a ball.

7. 7

   With a rolling pin, roll dough out into an oval, about 18 inches (46 cm) long by 12 inches (30 cm) wide, and ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.

8. 8

   With a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into even strips about ½ inch (1 cm) wide.

9. 9

   Roll the strips into thick noodles.

10. 10

    Once the water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon of salt and drop in the pasta.

11. 11

    Cook the pasta for 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles float to the top. Drain.
