GOURMET TIPS:

• Ditch the parmesan for a longer-lasting butter. If you’re not sure you can use all the butter within three days, don’t add the parmesan. This will help the flavor stay fresh for just a little bit longer.
• Alter amounts to your taste. Once you feel comfortable with the recipe, alter the amounts of each ingredient to suit your taste! Want more basil? Less garlic? You find your perfect balance and get creative in the kitchen.
• Harvest your basil and garlic fresh. If it’s an option for you, growing your fresh basil and garlic will increase the flavor of your recipe. While you may be able to get away with store-bought garlic, herbs taste way when freshly harvested. If buying from the store, buy fresh and organic, and use immediately.
