Ingredients

Spinach Fettuccine

  • 6 ounces washed baby spinach leaves stems removed
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 10 to 12 ounces all-purpose flour

Sweet Potato Fettuccine

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 12 ounces ) 3/4 pounds all-purpose flour

Instructions

Spinach Fettuccine

  • Fill a small pot with about 1⁄2 cup cold water and bring to a boil.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  • Drain and stop the cooking by running under cold water.
  • Squeeze out as much of the water from the spinach as you can and form it into a compact ball. Chop the ball as thinly as possible.
  • Place the spinach and eggs in the food processor and process until very fine.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the flour in a bowl. Using a fork, combine fully.
  • Take out of the bowl and start kneading the dough until the dough is formed and all the wet ingredients are fully absorbed.
  • Knead the dough for 3 - 4 minutes and finish by forming into a ball. (If the dough is to dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until all the flour is absorbed.)
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the pasta from the fridge and cut into 4 or 5 equal pieces.
  • Using your Kitchen Aid pasta attachment, begin by stretching the pasta. (Video link in post)
  • After stretching the dough, it is ready to be cut using the fettuccine attachment.

Sweet Potato Fettuccine

  • The only difference from above is the wet ingredient is created by pureeing the sweet potatoes.
  • Add to the flour and follow the same procedure as above.
