This recipe will guide you through the process of making fresh pasta from scratch and preparing a deliciously fresh pesto sauce to accompany it.

- If you don't have a pasta machine, you can use a rolling pin to roll the dough as thin as possible and then cut it into your desired pasta shape.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water; the starch in it will help the pesto cling better to the pasta.
- For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts before blending them into the pesto.
- If you have leftover pesto, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze it for longer storage.
- To prevent the pesto from turning brown, cover it with a thin layer of olive oil before storing.
Congratulations! You've successfully made fresh pasta with basil pesto from scratch.
