Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and cool in cold water, then squeeze out any excess water. Chop the spinach leaves finely.

Add the eggs and mix until a smooth and consistent filling is formed.
On a clean work surface, create a well in the flour and add the spinach and ricotta cheese filling.
Fold the flour over the filling, and knead for 8-10 minutes until dough has formed.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
