For 2 servings, you will need the following: For the pasta: 250 gr durum wheat flour, lukewarm water as needed, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 good handful of fresh spinach. For the cream: 4 tablespoons sour cream, 2 tablespoons parmesan, 2 tablespoons ricotta, pepper, mint, rosemary. For the garnish: parmesan, olive oil. Boil the spinach in a small amount of water, and let it reduce over medium heat. Meanwhile, prepare the pasta dough. Once the spinach is cooked, blend it into a puree. Mix the dough with the spinach until you get a uniformly colored dough. Roll out the dough nicely to 1 mm thickness and cut it as you prefer. I made pappardelle. Let the pasta rest, and attend to the sauce. Place all the ingredients for the cheese cream into a pan and let them combine over low heat. Using a teaspoon, place the parmesan on a piece of parchment paper in the desired shape and fry in a pan for a minute and a half. Remove the paper and place it on a cold surface or a plate.
