Great Basil for Pesto,
November 18, 2007
Submitted by MiamiGardener
from Miami, FL
"I started growing this last year and i like it as much as the green basil. I've grown it both in the garden and container. Living in Florida, I like it better in the containers, less bugs eating it up.
I just made some fresh pesto and it was delicious. I don't think its that mild as the description said... Here's the recipe I used:
3 cups basil, 2/3 cup Parmesan, 2/3 cup olive oil, 3 garlic cloves, 4-5 peeled walnuts. put everything in the processor and thats it. Then mix with some alfredo or marinara sauce and serve with your favorite pasta. DELICIOUS!! (The recipe is just a guideline, u might want to add more parmesan or oil; suit to ur taste)."
