Love this pasta! Have made it a lot with Basil, but have found it also works well with other fresh herbs. We've used Savory and Parsley, Basil and some Oregano, the ol' "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" mix and one of my favorites is Fennel Fronds which goes really well with a Pork gravy.

This recipe is so forgiving! I've made it a number of times now with various amounts of rest time before and after rolling and cutting and it always turns out great. It also doesn't matter if you don't quite have enough basil, just add a little more water until the consistency isn't too dry.

In the end, this turned out really good, but I had some trouble getting the dough to the correct consistency in the beginning. I had to add quite a bit of water to keep it from completely crumbling apart as it rolled through the pasta maker. I love the fact that there is only one egg in it too. It's nice to find an egg pasta recipe that is not loaded with cholesterol. Definitely a keeper.

The pasta tasted like...pasta. We used extra, fresh basil, yet could barely taste the herb in the pasta. This really wasn't anything special.

this was delicious and beautiful. I have arthritis, so whenever I can incorporte basil I like to. I ate it with Caq Au Vin and it was a perfect accompaniment.

This pasta turned out great. What a great way to use fresh basil! I bet it would have been even better if I had a pasta maker!!

Not too crazy about this recipe. It was good, but wouldn't go thru all the trouble to make it again. Thanks anyway!

This was awesome. We really liked it and will definately make it again next year before I pull out the basil. Freezes very well too!

these were great and so easy, i'd never made pasta before. i don't have a pasta machine so i rolled it out. i put sauteed garlic, shrimp, snow peas, and mushrooms - sauteed in EVOO- and combined it with the noodles. the noodles were a bit chewy, either i did them too thick or dried them to long or something, but i'll practice!
