How to Make Basil Fettuccine Pasta Noodle Recipe

  1. Add basil leaves to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and pulse 2-3 times, or until just combined.
  3. Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. With the food processor running, slowly add the ice water until a ball of dough forms. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to bring the dough together.
  4. Lightly coat a piece of plastic wrap with olive oil. Wrap the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours).
  5. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness. Dust with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  7. If making fettuccine, cut the dough into long strips using the pasta machine’s fettuccine cutter, or cut by hand. If making ravioli, follow your preferred ravioli making technique.
  8. Lightly dust the freshly made pasta with flour to prevent sticking. Let the pasta dry for at least 1 hour before cooking, or use immediately.
  9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your pasta.
  10. Drain the pasta and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
