Spinach Dough

This recipe I only made twice but came out perfectly both times (before I dried out the dough the second time). Even though I am not a huge fan of spinach pasta, my dad is. He really appreciated how delicious it was. The recipe is by Paula on Bell'alimento. 

Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3 eggs

pinch salt

1 cup cooked spinach - pureed

Procedure:

1. Sautee spinach in a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and a clove of garlic until reduced by half.

2.  Immediately transfer to ice water then puree it using a food processor.

3. Place flour into the bowl of your stand mixer. Create a well.

4. Add eggs, salt. Using paddle attachment, mix together until well combined. Add spinach.

5. Continue mixing until a ball forms. Scrape sides as necessary. Adjust if necessary. Add more flour if dough is too wet.

6. Switch to dough hook and knead dough for approximately 5-6 minutes.

7. Cover mixing bowl with kitchen towel and allow dough to rest for at least 30 minutes.

8. Attach roller attachment to mixer. Cut dough ball into 4 equal portions.

9. Take 1 portion and flatten it with your hand. Run through roller attachment until it reaches a level 4 thinness.

10. Attach Fettuccine attachment to mixer. Feed dough through.

11. Lay fettuccine on a lightly floured work surface.

12. Continue same process with 3 remaining dough portions.
