This recipe is our favorite use for our summer crop of basil. We even grown a monster leaf variety of basil just to create this pasta.—Janine M Colasurdo, Chesapeake, Virginia

Make This Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 Eggland’s Best Eggs (large)
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Preparation

Place basil in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped.

Add flour and process until blended.

Add in the eggs, water and oil. Process for 15-20 seconds or until dough forms a ball.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes).

Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Then divide into fourths.

On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/16-in. thickness.

Roll up jelly-roll style and cut into 1/4-in. slices.

Separate and unroll the slices.

Hang to dry or let stand on a clean towel for 1 hour.

Cook noodles in boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes or until tender; drain.
