Ingredients
For pasta dough
- 400 g of flour
- 3 eggs
- 70 g of boiled spinach
- a little salt
Sauce Idea N.1
- 300 g of cherry tomatoes
- salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, basil.
Sauce Idea N.2
- Fresh butter and ground Grana cheese
- salt, pepper, olive oil
Directions
- We will prepare the dough. At first, we will prepare the spinach by selecting only the leaves. Boil them for 2 minutes in boiling salted water and drain well.
- We will puree them using a blender or food processor so that the prepared mass of spinach spreads better in the dough.
- In a deep bowl, add the flour and eggs. We will also add the spinach puree. We will knead the dough with these ingredients without adding water or other liquids.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, and we will open it in a large and not very thin layer, helping by a roller and a little flour.
- We will let the pasta layer dry a bit covered with a tablecloth. We fold it and cut it into slices with a thickness of 5-7 mm. Don’t worry if you are not precise. It is homemade, artisanal, and delicious pasta. If you have a pasta machine, then use it for a more precise and ascetic cut.
- We can cook them immediately in boiling salted water, preparing at the same time our tagliatelle pasta sauce ready. Our tagliatelle pasta will boil quickly, in about two minutes.
- You can choose to prepare your pasta sauce during pasta resting time if it requires a lot of time, or at the same time as cooking the pasta following our suggestions, which are delicious and quick. You can cook them in a few minutes.
Sauce Cooking
- The first pasta sauce idea is simple. We will add a little olive oil, one garlic clove, and basil leaves to a saucepan and put it in medium heat to season. We will add the small tomatoes cut in half and cook them for a few minutes until they start to soften and release their juice.
At the same time, we cook the tagliatelle pasta for two minutes, dry them, and transfer them to the saucepan. We will add a little water from the boil and let them taste for a minute. Serve with minced grana cheese and fresh basil.

- You can also enjoy fresh tagliatelle pasta with a simple sauce, referring to our second suggestion. You can enjoy the fresh pasta with basil, flavored butter and season them with salt, pepper, and minced cheese. It is a simple but tasty cuisine.
