Pasta Dough Preparation
1. Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Add the olive oil.
2. Knead the Dough
Using a fork, beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well. Once combined, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
Flower Filling Preparation
3. Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pasta Assembly
4. Roll Out the Dough
Divide the rested dough into four portions. Roll out each portion into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
5. Cut and Fill the Pasta
Using a cookie cutter or flower-shaped mold, cut the pasta sheets into flower shapes. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each flower shape. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal.
Cooking the Pasta
6. Boil the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the filled flower pasta and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.

Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
