fresh, homemade pasta without animal products

If using fresh spinach, blanch it briefly in boiling water, drain, and squeeze the excess liquid. Then puree until smooth. If using frozen spinach, thaw it and puree it if necessary. Put flour on a clean work surface and make a well. Place the spinach in the center and work it into the flour with a fork, working it into the flour from the inside out. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough until it is no longer sticky. Add more flour if necessary. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. If using a food processor, mix the mixture until it has a grainy consistency. Then remove it from the food processor and shape it into a ball by hand. Cut the dough into four equal pieces and roll out into rectangles on a floured work surface as thinly as possible (about 2 mm). Sprinkle the top with a little flour as well. Roll up the dough on both sides and cut into strips about 0.5 cm wide. Repeat with the other pieces of dough. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and enjoy on its own or with a sauce, as desired.
