Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Process basil leaves in a food processor until chopped very fine. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse two or three times, or until combined. Mix in egg and oil. Add water until dough forms a ball shape. If dough seems dry, add a bit more water.
Step 2
Wrap dough in a piece of plastic wrap which has been coated in a few drops of olive oil. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Step 3
Allow pasta to dry for 1 hour prior to cooking.
Step 4
Cook in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta.
Step 5
Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut into 6 equal size portions. Run pasta though a pasta machine or roll with a rolling pin to desired thickness. Use additional flour to coat pasta while rolling. Once dough is desired thickness, run through the machine on the fettuccine setting to create noodles.
