What dishes do I use Basil in? Any recipes or ideas?

Anything Italian.

Also I really like making a slaw with basil and cilantro (plus rice vinegar, lime and salt) and putting that on tacos and burritos. Doesn't sound awesome but I assure you it is

Pistaccio pesto

Tomato soup served with grilled cheese sandwiches.

I add basil leaves to canned ragu

Wa-la

Grasshoppers ate my entire basil plant. There's nothing left but the stem now. I'm so pissed.

Thai food tends to use a lot of basil.

Yeah, but not normal basil. It's a different kind. It's called "holy basil" or "hot basil". quite different from the normal stuff.

Actually, they use multiple varieties on top of holy basil, but you can use normal basil in Thai food too if you don't have the good luck of living out in California.

"Thai basil" and "holy basil" are completely different.
