Fresh Spinach Pasta
Makes 2 1/4 lbs. Serves 8 - 10
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 1/4 cups semolina flour
2 large eggs
8 large egg yolks
1 cup cooked spinach, squeezed dry and minced
1 teaspoon salt
METHOD
1
Place all the ingredients into the bowl of the Stand Mixer, with the
flat beater attached.
2
On speed 2, mix for 2 minutes.
3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead to form a
dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
4
Assemble and attach the Pasta Extruder with the desired pasta
plate installed.
5
Cut the dough into walnut-sized pieces. With the machine set to six,
start extruding the pasta, adding one walnut-sized piece at a time.
6
When the pasta extrudes out of the machine, place it on semolina-
dusted trays. This may be refrigerated, and covered until serving
time. At this point, the pasta may also be frozen and cooked directly
from the freezer.
7
To cook the pasta, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil, adding a
tablespoon of salt and one tablespoon of oil. Gradually add the
pasta and continue to cook at a slow boil until pasta is “al dente.”
Pasta floats on top of water as it cooks. Stir occasionally to keep
pasta cooking evenly. Drain in colander. Toss with oil.
