Hello, young pasta explorer!🕵️ 🕵️‍♀️

Are you ready for a magically green journey in your kitchen? 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?
