Instructions

Notes

  • This recipe makes one cup ish (15 tablespoons). One serving is 2 tablespoons.
  • The kind of basil you choose will affect the flavor. Sweet basil was used for this recipe however Thai basil gives it a wonderful flavor for pasta.
  • The oil you choose will also alter the flavor. Flax oil can have a very unique taste so if you don't love it, don't use it. Avocado oil and olive oil work really well.
  • Store it in the fridge in a jar for 7-10 days to stay fresh.
  • Grab the ingredients you need from my Pantry Staples.
