In a blender or mixer, process spinach, cilantro, pepper, salt to a smooth puree.

Take dough out on work surface and knead gently a few more times. At this stage it should be smooth and shiny. Cover with a damp clean kitchen towel 10-15 minutes.
Divide dough into 1- 2" balls. Roll out one and leave the rest covered.
