BASIL FETTUCCINE

This pasta is coated with a thick Alfredo sauce I make from plain yogurt. This keeps the sauce lower in fat than purchased varieties. Plus, you can easily double the recipe and serve it as a stand-alone supper rather than a side dish. -Elissa Armbruster, Medford, New Jersey

A FAREWELL TO BASIL FETTUCCINE



A Farewell to Basil Fettuccine image

I made this while watching 'A Farewell to Arms' on TV and realized the title suited the intent of the pasta, which was to celebrate the last gleanings from my rather prolific basil patch. If you feel the need to serve this with a sauce, consider a butter garlic sauce or a white wine sauce with chicken. Whatever you choose to accompany this with, enjoy it!

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup chopped fresh basil
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons water
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil leaves impart a vibrant, aromatic flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but reduce the quantity to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Don't overcook the fettuccine: Fettuccine should be cooked al dente, meaning it should have a slight bite to it. Overcooked fettuccine will be soft and mushy.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The quality of the Parmesan cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dish. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
  • Don't boil the cream: When adding the cream to the sauce, be careful not to let it boil. Boiling the cream will cause it to curdle.
  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Basil Fettuccine Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and fresh basil flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
