For the dough:

1 cup arugula
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup 00 flour (cake flour)

In a blender, blend the eggs with the arugula until is smooth green. In a bowl or on the table mix the eggs with the oil, salt and flour. Mix until the texture is similar to a play dough. Roll the dough in a pasta machine or by hand. If you have a Marcato pasta machine make the tagliatelle until the number 6.
