<p>Pesto and grilled cheese sandwiches.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have a summer pasta recipe that I put a ton of basil in. Combine chopped tomatoes, minced or crushed garlic, olive oil(1/2 a cup), chopped basil, and a soft cheese like brie(that's been ripped into chunks) together in a bowl let that mixture sit in room temperature for a bout an hour. Then pour that on top of some hot pasta. Basically just pesto with tomatoes and cheese.</p>

Just for Curiosity, what kind of production are you basil folks getting? The local college goes from seedling to 2 lb clusters in 4 weeks (plus 3 weeks from seed to seedling), using hydroponic nft, 3-4 seeds per 1" hole, 8" spread, in a greenhouse.

<p>What 'off season'..? hehe...</p>
<p>My wife and I have pretty much 'have learned' to put basil in just about everything. And I mean <em>everything...</em>fruit juices and smoothies included.</p>
<p>I really wish people here used (i.e bought and ate) the stuff, but alas there's not much market for it here. No-one eats basil in anything! It's been relegated to ceremonial religious use, used by priests to bless holy water and other such hocus-pocus... <br></br> <br></br> <cite>TCLynx…</cite></p>
