I've wanted to make pasta for my son QJ months ago but I just can't met the right timing. Finally I managed to make the spinach pasta last Sunday.
Easy Handmade Spinach Pasta
Ingredients
1 egg
4tbsp all purpose flour (to be adjust later according to dough texture)
Spinach juice (blend a few spinach leaves with some water)4tbsp all purpose flour (to be adjust later according to dough texture)
1/4 black pepper
1/4 salt (you may omit)
1/4 olive oil
Instructions:
There are two methods:
Grandma's way
1. Sift the flour on your working/table top
and make a well in the middle of the flour.
2. Crack an egg into the well and add in
salt, black pepper, spinach juice, and olive oil.
3. Beat the egg with a fork and mix in the flour from the side
bit by bit until all ingredients are well combine.
4. If the dough is too wet, add flour or
if it's too hard or crumbly add a little bit of water or the spinach juice and knead the flour by flattening and folding for a few times till
it is smooth. It is ready when it doesn’t stick to the bowl/working top/hand.
5. Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it rest for 30 min.
6. For handmade pasta: Cut
out the dough in 3 portions and sprinkle the baking sheet/silicone mat with some flour and use a rolling pin to roll the dough back
and forth until it reaches the thickness you prefer. (You may use a pasta maker to roll the dough).
7. For handmade pasta: Then fold the dough to 's' and cut it into thin strips and
unfold it. Continue until the remaining
dough is cut out.
8. Voila, the pasta is done. The pasta is
best to cook immediately or can be keep in a zip lock bag/airtight container in the fridge for a week or up to a month
in the freezer. (keep it at your own discretion)
9. To cook the pasta, pour in the pasta in a pot of boiling water
and cook it until al-dente (chewy texture).
Easy way
1. Add in egg, black pepper, olive oil,
salt and spinach juice into a food processor or a mixer (with paddle attachment) and let it mix well.
2. Then add in flour into the mixture and
let it pulse or mix until well combine.
3. Refer to grandma's way item no. 4 - 9
Happy Trying !!
