Now that I have basil - I'm trying new recipes to use the basil. I love the idea and the practicality of having basil on my patio.

I made a meal with 3 different dishes that took basil a few weeks ago.

The sauce didn't make enough - Al always likes to have leftovers of anything with pasta and there was only a couple of spoonfuls left, and that was because Bret didn't eat with us that night.
