My interest in cooking started when I was 10 years old. I like to experiment with recipes and give old standbys a new twist. In this traditional dish, I added fresh basil with delicious results.-Robert Foust, Indianapolis, Indiana

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
3 teaspoons salt, divided
