Ingredients

• 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves
• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by blanching the spinach: bring a pot of water to boil, add the spinach leaves, and cook for about 30 seconds. Immediately transfer spinach to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and remove excess water by squeezing gently.

Step 2

In a food processor, blend the blanched spinach to a smooth puree.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, olive oil, and spinach puree.

Step 5

Using your hands or a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients until a dough starts to form.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.

Step 8

After resting, divide the dough into four equal portions.

Step 9

Using a pasta machine, roll each portion of dough into thin sheets. Start with the widest setting, gradually moving to the desired thinness.

Step 10

If you don't have a pasta machine, use a rolling pin to carefully roll out the dough to your preferred thickness.

Step 11

Cut the pasta sheets into desired shapes: fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets.

Step 12

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so watch it closely.

Step 13

Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite gluten-free sauce.
