Basil Pasta
The subtle flavor of the basil pairs nicely with the Garlic and Oil Sauce. Keep in
mind, any herb or combination of herbs can be substituted for the basil to create
your own flavor. A food processor makes pasta making a breeze!
Makes 10 ounces (about 3 to 4 servings)
1½ cups packed fresh basil
1¼ cups “00” flour
⅓ cup semolina flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1. Put the basil into the work bowl of a Cuisinart® food processor fitted with
the metal chopping blade. Process for about 10 to 12 seconds, until finely
chopped.
2. Scrape the sides of the work bowl and then add the flours and salt. Process
to incorporate ingredients. While the machine is running, add the eggs
through the small feed tube, one at a time. Continue to process once a
dough ball forms, about 45 seconds to one minute to knead. Should dough
be too sticky, add “00” flour 1 tablespoon at a time until ball is smooth and
firm. When done, the dough should spring back when touched.
3. Wrap with plastic and let rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
Pasta dough should be used soon after it is made, within a day or two. It can
also be frozen for up to 3 months.
