Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cooking fresh spinach until wilted, then drain and allow it to cool. In a food processor, puree the cooked spinach until smooth. Add in the large eggs and 2 cups of Italian 00 flour, pulsing until a dough starts to form. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in extra flour gradually until it becomes a non-sticky ball.
- Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface. Knead gently for about 2-3 minutes, until it feels smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into four equal pieces, covering them with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, take one piece of dough, flatten it slightly, and dust it lightly with flour. Using a pasta machine set at the widest setting, roll the dough through. Fold it in half and pass it through the machine several times to achieve a smooth texture.
- Gradually reduce the roller settings on your pasta machine, making the dough thinner with each pass. Aim for a thickness of 3 or 4 for fettuccine. Let the sheets dry for about 30 minutes before cutting them into fettuccine noodles.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the freshly cut fettuccine noodles into the boiling water. Cook for 3-5 minutes until they float, indicating they are done. Drain and toss with your favorite sauce.

Notes
Store wrapped dough in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze cut noodles for up to 1 month. Reheat cooked fettuccine by tossing in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
