Techniques
- 300 g double zero flour
- 3 whole egg
Shape 300 g of double zero flour into a well and crack three eggs into the centre.
Knead; the dough is ready when a thumb pressed into the centre comes out clean.
- 2 cups basil leaves
Wrap in plastic and rest in the fridge about half an hour.
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp pine nuts
- 2 cloves garlic
Put the dry basil leaves, olive oil, pine nuts, chopped garlic and salt in the food processor.
- ½ cup Parmesan Reggiano
- 2 tbsp Pecorino Romano
Transfer to a bowl; mix in the grated Parmesan and Pecorino by hand.
Divide the rested dough into nine pieces, three times the number of eggs.
Rolling sheets on the pasta machine
Flatten a piece into a rectangle, run through the widest notch, fold, run again lengthwise, then work down to notch four.
Cut through the spaghetti attachment, flour, and hang on the drying rack.
- 2 tbsp pasta water
Toss the drained spaghetti with the pesto and a couple of tablespoons of pasta water.
