Place the spinach and water in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cover and simmer, stirring once, until the spinach is wilted, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much water as possible so the spinach is very dry. Chop the spinach very finely.

Place the flour on a marble or wooden work surface. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs; add the salt and the finely chopped spinach. Gently beat the eggs with a fork, pulling in some of the surrounding flour and spinach, until the batter is runny. Use a bench scraper to bring the remaining flour into the batter until the dough forms a ball. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough feels too stiff.
- 3
Knead the dough by hand by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top toward the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until the dough is soft and smooth, about 10 minutes.

Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
