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 if making noodles.
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right basil: Fresh basil is best for this recipe. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use less of it since it's more concentrated.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
- Add the basil at the end: The basil should be added at the end of the cooking process so that it retains its flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Basil pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give basil pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
