Recipe View Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the fresh pasta into the boiling water. Use a spoon to separate the noodles and prevent them from sticking together. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente (firm to the bite). Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta, so keep a close eye on it. (6 minutes)

Recipe View Serve: Remove the cooked pasta from the water with tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer it to a bowl. Toss with your favorite sauce (a simple butter and sage sauce or a creamy pesto would be excellent). Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For the best results, use high-quality, fresh spinach. Avoid spinach that is wilted or has brown spots.
If you don't have a pasta maker, you can roll out the dough thinly and cut it into noodles by hand.
Don't overcook the pasta! Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, so test it frequently to avoid mushy noodles.
This pasta is also delicious served cold as a pasta salad.
