A Farewell to Basil Fettuccine

1. 1

   Process the basil leaves in a food processor until very finely chopped. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse two or three times, or until combined. Mix in the egg and oil. Add water until the dough forms a ball. If the dough seems dry, add a little more water.

2. 2

   Wrap the dough in a piece of plastic wrap that has been coated with a few drops of olive oil. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

3. 3

   Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut it into 6 equal portions. Run the pasta through a pasta machine or roll it with a rolling pin to the desired thickness. Use additional flour to coat the pasta while rolling. Once it reaches the desired thickness, run it through the machine on the fettuccine setting to make noodles.

4. 4

   Let the pasta dry for 1 hour before cooking.

5. 5

   Cook in a large pot of boiling water until slightly firm, 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta.
