You're about to make green 🟢 pasta dough, as bright and fun as a field of grass or a handful of emeralds! This isn't just any pasta; it's like we're bringing a piece of the enchanted forest right into our dough!

We’ll be using a secret ingredient to make our pasta this amazing green color! Can you guess what it is? It’s spinach! 🌱

So, tie on your apron, wash your hands, and let's dive into the world of green pasta dough making. We’ll mix, knead, and laugh as we turn our dough into a vibrant green masterpiece, perfect for creating the most magical pasta dishes you can imagine!

Let's Look at Each Step Again

Flour mountain. Pour your flour into a big bowl or onto a clean table. Make it into a mountain. ⛰️

Secret well. With your fingers, dig a deep well in the middle of your flour mountain. This is where the egg and spinach puree will go. It's like making a nest for your egg friends! 🥚

Crack. Crack the egg and gently break it with a fork. Then add in the spinach puree. Mix it with a fork until it's all mixed together.

Mix it up. Add a bit of the flour to the egg and mix. Use your fork to swirl them together.

Let's get dirty. When the egg and the flour have mixed enough, it's time to use your fingers! 👐 Add the rest of the flour to the egg mix and press down. It might feel a bit gooey and sticky, but that’s all part of the fun!

Dough time. Once the egg and flour are all mixed up, it's time to make dough! Use your hands to knead it. 👐 Push it, squish it, and squash it with the palm of your hands until it feels smooth and happy. It's like giving your dough a good workout! 🏋️

Rest and relax. Wrap your dough in some plastic wrap and let it take a cozy nap for about 30 minutes. 😴 Even dough gets tired after a good workout!

Now comes one of the most exciting parts – picking the pasta shape you want to create with your dough! 🤩 Remember, each shape is like a character in a story and you're the author. So, what will it be?
