Answers:
Wash them off under water, and chop them up and put in a homemade tomato sauce.
Basil can be used on pizza, in spaghetti, in a various pasta dishes, on fish, meat and chicken.
I have mine hanging and dried to rub on meet or toss in pasta. It's also very good if you take any nuts (pine, walnut, almonds) and mash it with olive oil, creating a pesto. You can freeze it foir when you want to use it later.
pull leaves, and add to dish after removing from heat.
dry upside down and store in jars
harvest the leaves not the flower stalks, then just let them dry naturally out of direct light, crumble up the dry leaves and sprinkle on your favorite food.
