Homemade Spinach Pasta

Instructions

• Gather all ingredients.
• Combine water and ice in a bowl. Preheat a skillet over medium heat; add spinach. Cook, stirring continuously, until spinach turns bright green, about 30 seconds.
• Plunge into ice water bath; remove when spinach is lukewarm. Squeeze out excess moisture with cheesecloth.
• Combine spinach, eggs, olive oil, and salt in a food processor; blend until smooth.
• Add flour; blend until dough no longer sticks to the blades, adding flour as needed.
• Roll dough into a ball; wrap in plastic wrap. Rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Remove plastic wrap from dough. Transfer to a work surface generously dusted with flour; cut dough into 4 pieces with a sharp knife.
• Roll out dough with a rolling pin to 1/4-inch thickness; shape into rectangles.
• Dust pasta maker rollers with flour. Run the dough rectangles through a pasta maker on the widest setting. Repeat rolling dough through rollers, gradually reducing the setting to desired thickness.
• Change the pasta maker's attachment to the preferred noodle shape; cut pasta with the pasta maker.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Lower pasta gently into water; use a spoon to keep noodles from sticking together. Cook until pasta is firm but soft, 3 to 6 minutes.
• Remove from the water with tongs; transfer to a bowl.
