Basil Butter
Every year, I used to eyeball the ingredients to make this butter, but I ended up with this recipe now. Maybe the authentic kind doesn't use lemon juice or butter, but I use them anyway because my family likes it.
I make this butter in bulk whenever I harvest the basil in my home garden. I usually freeze it in an airtight container. I use this for cooking for a whole year until when I'm able to harvest my basil again. Recipe by chima@

Goes without saying on pasta, but it's also delicious whipped into butter and cream cheese, mixed with hummus or mayo, as a pizza spread, and also as a base for delicious salad dressing.You can use other nuts (pine nuts, obviously), but almonds, cashews, and pecans are also delicious.
