method

  1. Start by making your pasta in advance so it has time to rest in the fridge for an hour. Mix the eggs and flour and knead for 10-15 mins until you have a smooth pasta dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Make the pesto by blitzing all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Season to taste.
  3. Roll out your pasta dough and using a past machine make tagliatelle. Cook in salted boiling water for 2-3 mins and then add to a frying pan with pancetta, artichokes, capers and 2 large tablespoons of basil pesto. Toss to coat evenly and serve with grated parmesan and extra Sweet Basil oil drizzled over the top.
