ingredients

³⁄₄ cup chopped fresh basil
1 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons water
2 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons all-purpose flour

directions

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

So easy to make the pasta in the food processor. I made a simple sauce of diced onion & garlic sauteed in equal parts olive oil & butter. I tossed the basil fettuccine with the sauce then shaved some Parmesan over the top. An excellent dinner served with Caesar salad and garlic bread.

We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure! Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals. We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.
