After the great advice I got on my pasta how much topic, I cooked 1.9 oz of pasta, heated 4-5 oz of cooked shrimp in bottled Alfredo sauce, accessorized with garlic bread, and since I had some Thai basil on hand I started munching a partial leaf with bites of pasta/shrimp and eventually chopped and tossed in some Thai basil.
I love basil. I grow it in my garden every year. I have not tried Thai basil. When it is growing in my garden, I use it almost daily. During the first few weeks of June, when fresh, ripe tomatoes are available, I eat a lot of caprese salad.
