Homemade pasta with basil

Description

Finely chop the basil leaves using a food processor. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and mix. Add the egg, 1 teaspoon of oil, and water, knead the dough and shape it into a ball. If the dough seems dry, add a little more water. Cover the dough with plastic wrap coated with a few drops of olive oil. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut into 6 equal parts. Roll through a pasta machine or flatten with a rolling pin to the desired thickness. Let the pasta dry for one hour before cooking. Cook in a large pot of boiling water. This should take no more than 3–5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta.
