Notes

Tip
To keep basil for a long time you can take the elastic band off the bunch and lay them on wet paper towels. Roll them up and store in a plastic bag in the fridge. They will last around 2 weeks this way.
Variation
If you don’t have fresh tomatoes and basil you can use a can of diced tomatoes and few teaspoons of dried basil in a pinch. I prefer the fresh items and always have fresh basil in my fridge.
