Instructions

Egg Pasta

  • In a food processor with the dough blade, add the 2 cups flour and salt. Add one egg at a time, pulsing to incorporate. Add the water and continue pulsing. Add additional flour or water until the dough ball is formed in the processor. Remove from processor and knead with additional flour till the ball is no longer sticky. Roll out thin and cut into strips. Set to the side to dry for 20 minutes. In a large bowl thoroughly mix the flour, eggs, water and salt. If you have crumbles in the bottom of your bowl, add a dash more water to the crumbles till they form a ball. Incorporate the dough balls. Your dough ball should be moist with a flour crust. *If you accidentally add too much water, add more flour till you get the right consistency.
  • Roll out dough till it’s very thin (thicker dough will just create a heavier noodle). Cut into strips and set to the side to dry for approximately 20 minutes. *Or, hang them overnight to dry for later use. *Or, blanch then freeze for later use. !Follow the same instructions as above. The mushroom powder makes it a little drier so you may need to add more water. !Sauté the spinach for five minutes or until wilted. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Cool down before using. In a food processor with the regular chopping blade, chop spinach. Add 1 cup flour and pulse till mixed. Add the 2nd cup of flour and continue to pulse until mixed. Switch out blade for the dough blade. Add one egg at a time, pulsing to incorporate. Add additional flour until the dough ball is formed in the processor. Remove from processor and knead with additional flour till the ball is no longer sticky. Roll out thin and cut into strips. Set to the side to dry for 20 minutes.
