Cooking tips

If the basil leaves are too large, they can be tough and bitter, so use mostly tender, fresh leaves.
Blending for too long can cause the basil to darken due to friction heat, so it's crucial to blend in a flash.
Adding all the olive oil at once helps the ingredients blend smoothly without sticking to the sides of the blender.
