"This is a great pasta noodles recipe. Once you start making your own noodles, you will never go back to store-bought ones. I have written the instructions for hand rolling here, but, of course, if you have a pasta machine, use it. "

I usually make my pasta by hand and then use the pasta machine for rolling and cutting, so this method is just the opposite. I did make it according to the recipe with one exception. I made half of it 1/4" wide and then I made the rest pappardelle. The lovely flavour of the basil comes through gently if not dressed with a heavy sauce. The pasta came together perfectly, I would not change a thing. Thanks Bea for yet another great recipe! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
