Ingredients
  

Pasta

  • 2 cups flour all-purpose, "00", or semolina
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • pinch of salt

Filling:

  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 large mushrooms diced
  • ¾ cup spinach finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • pinch of basil
  • pinch of oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup silken tofu pureed, or 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp flour

Instructions
 

Dough

  • Place flour on a flat, preferably wood, surface. Create a large well in the centre.
  • Pour water, olive oil, and salt into the well.
  • Using a fork, stir the water mixture, slowly pulling the flour into the water mixture.
  • Continue stirring until a dough forms and little to no loose flour remains, approx. 7-10 minutes.
  • Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes to activate the gluten. Add extra flour and/or water as necessary. Push your finger into the dough, the dough should begin to spring back to its original shape. If not, keep kneading.
  • Cover the dough and set aside for 30-60 minutes. While you wait, prepare the filling.
  • Roll out the dough until you can see your hand through the dough, about 1/16 inch. For the filled pasta, cut out rectangles and place a small amount of filling onto one side. Fold into a square and pinch around the edges to ensure they do not open. If you are not using the filling, cut and/or shape pasta in any way you'd like.
  • Bring salted water to a boil, and boil the pasta for approx. 2-3 minutes, adjust time as needed. (Homemade pasta cooks a lot faster).

Filling Instructions:

  • At medium heat, In a large pan, saute onion and garlic in oil until the onions are translucent.
  • Add in mushrooms and spinach, cook until spinach has wilted.
  • Add in lemon juice, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper, then stir until combined.
  • Reduce heat to low, add in silken tofu and stir until well combined.
  • Stir in flour one tablespoon at a time (more or less, as needed). The ingredients should begin to bind together. You should be able to form the mixture into small balls without it crumbling apart.
  • Turn off the heat and set the filling to the side.
