I wanted a lot of people to enjoy a NY top Italian chef's recipe.

Please pat the moisture out of the basil well, because the sauce will go bad faster if you don't.
This sauce is from Genoa, the capital of Liguria in Italy. It can be arranged into lots of dishes other than pasta. Recipe by MeguBroaden

[Preserving method 1] It only stays good for about 1 week in the refrigerator, so freeze in a 70ml container 80% full.
5

[Preserving method 2] Cover the surface with olive oil. It will change color and go bad when it oxidizes.
6

[Preserving method 2] Place 2 tablespoons in plastic wrap and seal with a rubber band. It's half the amount of preserving as in method 1, so it is more convenient when you want to use a smaller amount.
7

This is the Lemon & Dill seasoning I use.
