Pasta noodle + spinach filling

Fufufu...I had both of the pasta so I boiled both of them. After boiling the pasta, the cylinder one most if it have ripped. Now that I look at the 3rd picture pasta, I notice that Recipegirl used uncooked pasta to fill in the filling.

I didn't have package spinach but I did have fresh spinach in fridge. I rinsed them and then boiled them until tender. I also put salt in the boiling water. Then I drain it, rinse with cold water, squeezed most of the water out, and then chop it.

I chopped it vertically and it was too chunky, I suggest to chop it small if using fresh spinach.

It was a bit tasteless. I would have added more pasta sauce if I had any left so I sprinkle some salt and pepper.

I'm volunteering at a hospice care center in their kitchen. The chef had me rolling up noodle with spinach filling. It looked so good when I was working and simple to prepare and make. So I search online for the recipe and found two different presentation that I like and also have the noodle to make it.
