Fresh pasta is a wonderful treat, and much easier than you’d think. Turn this dough into your favorite form of pasta and serve with your favorite low-sodium marinara sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
Directions
- In a blender, mix together basil leaves, eggs, and oil until smooth.
- Set the flour on a clean surface and create a well. Pour the basil and egg mixture into the well. Mix with a fork until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly tough. Knead the dough 5-7 times and then allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Knead until smooth. Roll flat or feed through pasta machine. Cut into strips. Hang the pasta to dry slightly as you prepare the water.
- In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pasta, stirring as it goes in so that it does not stick together, return to a boil and cook for until tender (2-6 minutes).
