I have been having fun making my own pastas. I know many people say you don’t need a pasta maker (really, they mean the automatic rollers), but I did. I am not good with a rolling pin and thus before I got the rollers, my pasta was just super thick and unmanageable. But, many people can do it so power to you! For me, I got the Kitchen Aid attachments for my mixer and they work perfectly!

Ingredients

• 1 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a food processor, combine spinach, eggs and salt. Process until smooth. Gradually add enough flour to make a firm, but not sticky, dough. On a floured surface, knead about 20 times. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.

Divide your dough into manageable pieces — small enough for the pasta roller. Feed the dough into the flattener (don’t know if that is actually what it is called). Once the pieces are flat, I feed them into the fettuccine slicer. This is where most people can just roll each piece of dough out i to 1/16 inch thickness pieces. Then they cut into 1/4-inch slices.

Regardless of how you got here, separate the slices and let rest on a clean towel for at least 1 hour. Cook noodles in boiling salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and eat.
