Basil Fettucini

I just got a new pasta roller/cutter set for my ka and i haven't tried this yet, but it looks good. Prep time doesn't include time for the pasta to rest.

Steps

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.
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.
