‍For the pasta:

In the stand mixer, with a paddle attachment add the flour and turn on low. Slowly add in the water. Continue mixing for 5 minutes and allow the water to fully absorb. The dough should resemble wet sand. When folded into a ball in your hands, it should hold its shape but loosen back into a sand consistency when crumbled. If the dough is too dry add a little water, if too wet add a touch of flour.Form the dough into balls and feed through the pasta extension. The first few deformed pastas can be fed back into the pasta maker. Cut the dough into desired length and let dry for at least 15 minutes. Cook pasta for 2 minutes. If pasta is dried it will take a little longer.

For the pesto:
